Thanks everyone, i just want to get the finance sorted & paid so we can go stand on our land, lol, oh and then start building, lol

Awesome!! Where are you building?

Wadalba on the Central Coast, how about you?
Took a drive up to see the land and I was pleasently surprised to see they have cut the land! I'm not sure when it was done but we were only 10 business days in to the countdown!


Great news kays_first_home. We have fences and a portaloo so we are thinking possibly this week they may start turning dirt. Mind you, we have 2 houses being built behind us from another 'reputable' company and ended up with a massive mound of dirt on our block despite the fences. We witnessed the dumping and told them to move it. They kindly offered to leave it there, we are removing dirt not adding. When we went today they have started moving it. More then half gone. They better get the rest removed ASAP as we don't want to be held up when our guys go onsite.

Yes went well thank you,few hiccups with the finishing of our home but mostly fixed now so here's hoping we can continue unpacking at snails pace lol


Looking for contractor for concrete driveway! We are Blue Mountains, so if anyone in Oran Park/Penrith area has used someone and been very happy with work and price, can you PM me their contact details.
Had a quote yesterday which was little more than we want to pay, but we are doing a double width drive from gutter to garage!

After council approval


Thanks guys

Also do you just select flooring, bathroom tiles and paint colors ?

You select everything at the colour appointment except tiles. Such as bricks, roof, all colours, kitchen etc etc.. Tiles you do it at the tile shop you choose which this you can do before council approval if you choose.

So this week we have piering and plumbing done and they are just starting to form out for our slab 😊

Thanks Kay. We've already done the external colors so I assume it's just paint and bathroom cabinets and kitchen ?

No idea about the driveway question, but your price for a house that size including landscaping seems very good!

Building on extremely reactive soil

Building A New House

With that sort of soil type if you ask for a design to include piers then I would also include void formers. That way you should reduce the chances of settlement and heave.
