Lucky you kjane on council contribution. Lucky me on lower stormwater cost. My "oh no moment" came at 6.5k for s94 and 2k for s73 (or around) so 8.5k in total. I think HHH should have done better by warning customer about it. I'm still happy with them though. Oh man, that is tough. Thankf...

Zen your stormwater is making me nervous. We’re also sloping away from the street with a rear easement and I think our PA is $30k and $4k sewer. Fingers crossed we don’t go over. I do suspect we will also need to bury some OSD. I’m trying to get a sense of what this will look like as I’m also hopin...

Some more photo spam from me - we've been slabbed! A week ahead of schedule as the weather was so good. https://forum.homeone.com.au/u/82185_1536811594.JPG https://forum.homeone.com.au/u/82185_1536811595.JPG

Seems the rain did not slow anything down with our build. Just had another update from SS (love the communication) and last week all excavation works were completed, slab formwork installed and concrete piering completed. u [color=#212121][size=100]This week, the internal drainage, slab steel and w...

Good luck, where are you planning to build?

Hoping to join this H&H community soon. Very helpful comments and feedbacks. Hi MickeyDonald, glad that you have found the thread helpful, I sure have too. Hope everything is smooth sailing for you in the planning stage. Cheers

Yeah, the amount of slope is deceptive, we slope down from the street towards the creek and also slope right to left. Needed to cut at the front so the back would not end up being above the 9.5m total height restriction. We wanted the house to be level on the ground floor so didn't look to go with a...

Loving all of the big windows, especially the one next to the stairs, that will look so impressive when finished. Your living areas will be so light filled. Beautiful.

Hi guys, I am building with Kurmond Homes. Almost at the lock-up stage. I was just going through all of the variations they gave us and noticed that I have a variation for "upgrade to staircase - remove nosing to treads to allow for clients timber laminate to be laid after handover". I do...

Update from SS today: excavation works and levelling of building pad. So exciting for it to be getting underway. Some photos of the excavation works, to get some idea of scale, the cut on the front right side is about 870 and the fill at rear left side is about 920. Excuse the kids swing still hangi...

Can anyone please share what the kitchen selections appointment involves, what to take, what discussions you have etc? And if you’re doing a poly kitchen what colours you can choose from? Thanks! Hi Jacks, not sure if you've done your kitchen appointment yet but in case you haven't I saw that HHH p...

Thanks kjane for that! Hmmm. Not sure we have enough room for all that. Did anyone bury their OSD? Also how long did it take Jemena to disconnect your gas if you needed that? We need to organise a full abolishment and I hear the lead time can be quite long. Great update thanks on your communication...

Our home and separate garages in North Ryde were just knocked down last week by ECO. We are very happy with the work they did. We had asbestos and they managed that well. We also had mature trees on site that we wished to retain and they were careful not to damage them and gave a wide area around fo...

How do I join the other Thread building with Hall &Hart Just search Hall and Hart and the thread will come up. Building with Hall and Hart Homes is the title.

Build update: I just had a nice email from the construction manager to let us know that construction will be starting and to give me his contact details so we can speak with him. He has said that our site supervisor (LP) will be in touch shortly to give as info and weekly updates. Seems the communic...

Waiting CDC approval. Don’t know how long it will take but really excited. Hi Nasreen45, all the best with getting through CDC. Where are you building? There is another thread "Building with Hall and Hart Homes" that has a few people on it if you wanted to join that one and share the buil...

I know it’s very dependent on site coverage etc but for those building in the Ryde Council area what OSD are you required to hold on site? Plus BASIX requirement? We’re trying to get a sense of whether tanks will fit above ground or whether we’ll have to bury them. Thanks! For our block we ended up...
