Everyone's build seem to be moving along.
The plasterers have finished in ours, downpipes have been installed along with our storm water trenches.

Same thing with us, one of the good thing with MJH, they normally go through CDC. We're hoping to get the approval within the forthnight too...
We are looking at building with the Urban One Pepper brick also.
We used Urban One Pepper. Haven't noticed any yellowing.
We are also going with Pepper, we visited some build at The Ponds and some of them look different, i think its depends on the batch.
Hi,
We are thinking about building the Wentworth with McDonald Jones in North Kellyville and have received our first tender. Just wondering if $15K would be a good guide to have for extra site costs that may come up? Is this generous? not enough? Our block only has a 0.5m fall on it, and the tender already allows for H1 slab & 50 lineal metres piers. I was thinking the extra $15K buffer would be for approx $3K saline if needed, $5K piers/extra site costs, $3K soil removal, $4K for other reports & things I dont know about yet (bushfire report, water, AHD survey, landscape plan etc). We are comparing the McDonald Jones tender to Eden Brae 'fixed price' tender and wanting to make sure we dont under estimate how much the extra site costs could be with McDonald Jones.
Thanks for your help!

Yay! Love shouty capitals
lol shouty capitals were definitely required for this post!!! It has been a very long time coming!!!!
Haven't been to the electrical studio yet. (Should read as KaChing Studio), but dreading it. When I look at what we requires, some 40 odd powerpoints, and 10 odd network points, it will blow out of the solar system. We also wanted a home theatre professionally setup as well as smarthome light and video control. We had a quote from an external mob to do it, and it was reasonable. MCD refused to allow the externals access, till after handover, and that scenario will cost us an additional $000's for them to rewire. NOT HAPPY.
MCD are wanting $130 for each network port. I can get them for $20.
They want $115 for dimmable LED lights, I can get them for less than $20.
Does this seem like a ripoff?

We came in under $9k at electrical with extra power points to pre wired in theatre and activity room LEDs where needed (but we are finishing extra downlights after handover) all outdoor lights and extra circuits and intercom and a few other things!
It is the extra circuits that blew it out a bit for us! We had an allowance of $8k but requires extra circuits at $250each due to number of power points
We have finally decided on the garden retreat modified. The professional service from both our display consultant Rick and the sales director Phil has made this possible. We had a few challenges with levels etc and MJH kept on looking for a way forward. Now waiting on consolidated tender and then hopefully an enjoyable build. Thanks for this forum for great reviews and comments

Hi
Yes they are expensive for things like that. Is your house a steel framed house? If so there are 2 service holes in every second noggin for wiring. I'm sure the external company can do it after your in, it will be just a little more in labour, but I'm sure it will still come in cheaper than if MJH installed it. As for downlights, just get your wiring right and they can be done after handover to, there is a bucket load of roof space.
But if you want to move in to it all completed, then your up for some big $$$$$

Lol thanks everyone !!
Hoping this is the start of a smooth run to the end now!! Keep your fingers crossed for us!!!!
