Hi, Thanks for that sounds like you are happy with the final product. Makes me feel a bit better. How exciting that you will be in soon. We are doing a knockdown/ rebuild on our acreage near McLaren Vale. They have said we will get our final house costing today but I'm not holding my breath! Like M...

Looks amazing, but how frustrating that there were so many niggly things not fixed! Hope it is all rectified for you FAST!

I can't even imagine that. We have had the luxury of staying in our own home the entire time, we aren't in too much of a hurry to sell it- will take a month or two after moving to VG before putting it on the market, most likely.

Looks fabulous! You are catching us up :) We were locked up on Friday- eeeek.

Obviously YOUR opinion is the only one that matters, but I don't think the render colour looks bland on the frontage at all! I think it is a lovely mix of textures and colours. Everything looks amazing. Hope you can achieve what you need to in your time off!

Is it bad that I think I love your house more than mine????? I feel the same way. It is looking magnificent! I should probably avoid looking at sites like this, now all the decision making is done, but I cannot seem to help myself!

That is looking fab! Mid May will be here before you know it :)

No build thread on here. Our house will be all the more visible once the bricks are completed, as we are the unfashionable couple who chose light brick and a light roof. :lol: We love it, but it isn't for everyone. But do post the occasional pic on insta, so will check out #virginiagrove :)

Looking fabulous. We are over the bridge from you, in the Lakes releases. You can spot our blue steel pretty easily :) We are a bit behind you, as only have one wall bricked but no roof, but we will get there. (I will add, we aren't building with Weeks though.) We were relatively lucky with our bank...

Looks like things are coming along nicely at your block. Not to sound stalkerish, but we are building in the same area and there isn't much blue steel going up apart from ours and yours :) Hope things go smoothly from here, sounds like you have had some huge headaches along the way.

It is all coming together so beautifully. You must be thrilled! Enjoying watching another SA build, we are a fair bit behind you though :) We are so happy, can't wait for it to be done though. Have you decided on a builder? What stage are you at? :) We have our frame up and are building with Format...

How did you know??? Ha ha. Yes. 'I'. Hmmm. Slab to frame was 2.5 weeks. That beautiful blue steel goes up fast when they start. Here is to ending up with gorgeous homes in the end. I do still have faith that Format are a good builder, but there are some elements of the customer experience they must ...

So sounds like you'd have rather chosen somebody else? Hard to say. There are some very firm reasons why we went with Format over the many others, including the steel frame.The finishes in their display homes were superior, and their standard inclusions were excellent. If the house turns out beauti...

Can anyone else share their experiences? We are building with Format. Paperwork stage was 10 months due to a useless 'Project Concierge' and useless council (god their new ad really pisses me off). Slab poured two weeks ago. haven't heard from anyone since. Communication is abysmal. Ive seen larger...
