Exciting times! All the best with the tender. Not really too sure as to when to ask about the appliances but should be Ok to request at tender presentation time. We asked a million and one questions at that meeting and they came back to us within a couple of days with answers and quotes for everythi...

Hi Jacks, Sorry for delay in reply, I've been back in Australia for the week and only just saw your post now. At the kitchen appointment we choose everything for the kitchen, laundry and all bathrooms. They had our plans there and there were two people who sat with us for about two hours. The appoin...

Hi everyone, I'm a newbie here. I'm interested in Elyse 36, will have my initial appointment tomorrow. I'm very happy to find out about this thread, have read lots of sharing here which give me both more knowledge and confidence in HHH - thank you. I wonder if an oldcomer :-) can share: - ballpark ...

The other focus at the moment is ensuring that the floorplan is 100% - did anyone make many changes prior to the Plan Presentation meeting or where you 100% before paying the tender? We've already sent through a load but there's a few remaining that we need to feed in plus windows. I feel windows i...

Its great to see so many H&H builds progressing. We are just finishing up with our selections and will hopefully progress to the next stage soon. BTW Kjane and Seren1ty, we were quoted about $10K ($80 per square metre) for laminate to the whole of the first floor and stairs for an elyse 38 (exc...

Re: Void and/or increased ceiling heightsBuilding A New House

Aug 06, 2018 11:55 am

Maybe have a look at Hall and Hart Homes, they do two homes that have voids. The Elyse has an entryway void and the Sienna a large atrium over the living area. We are building the Elyse with the entry void and have put skylights in the stairwell to give more light without losing any of the upstairs ...

Re: Lifesize Plans - Anyone used them?Building A New House

Aug 04, 2018 12:39 pm

Agree with everything you have said kks. I also like that building accessible homes now doesn't mean that your home looks purpose built for accessibility, when care and thought is put into the design stage. I would be very keen to see your plans in the future and all the best with the process.

Hi guys, we’re late to the party in this group but just got underway with Hall and Hart. We’re building a Sienna Contemporary facade in Ryde Council. Demo complete and handed over to them this week. Expecting the slab complete by end of August. All progress to date has been good albeit slow with Ry...

Zen, you may see some action on our site soon. Demo has started and big machinery will be on site next week with HHH starting a few days after. You'll likely see more of our build than we will :wink: Woohoo! Exciting times, kjane! Will be sure to update you when we pass by your site! Thanks!

We ended up going $700 over our PA of 20K but the sewer costs came in under so the pretty much evened out. Are you going CDC route with Ryde City Council?

Hi Cooky, I can't give any advice on life size plans but noticed in your reply above that the purpose is largely to be mindful of aging relatives needs. So good to be thinking ahead like that, as a health care worker I wish everybody would :-D It may be a good idea to speak with an occupational ther...

Thanks everyone for the advice and words of encouragement! I’d reply individually but my computer has decided to not cooperate so I’m on the iPad which won’t allow me to reply individually for some reason. Anyway ... so we have had our tender presentation and it felt like it went really well. We’ve...

Hi Seren1ty, We are preparing for our electrical appointment (it is now being done directly with H&H). I know a sparky that can do electrical work for us post handover. How did you go about getting H&H to wire up things up for you to install later. I am particularly interested in down light...

Thank you kjane! Yep we're pretty happy with the build quality. They've started on the remaining items and hopefully they will be all fixed soon and we'll be in! We've found an electrician who seems on the ball for a great price (PM me if you're interested in his details). We're planning to have al...
