Well I've decided to get on the bandwagon and start my own thread. Joe and I are building our second home and we secured a nice piece of land in Byford a street away from our kids school.

Great looking plan. Love both that massive store room and your long kitchen island bench. Though personally I would have put the kitchen more to one side over centre placement. But personal preference.
Hi Bel and Joe, your plan looks great. I never thought to extend the master bedroom like you did. And your big kitchen bench and store room are great ideas too. Just a thought...Have you considered closing off the study on the laundry side? gives you another room and an extra long laundry bench, especially if you flip the WIL to the other side
Love what you did with the plan, your master bedroom is massive. Kitchen is fab as well. Welcome to the HGWA family here on the forum, there are a few of us and most of us have had a relatively smooth ride so far.
We are at the same stage, just waiting for some action on the block. Looking forward to seeing how your build goes.

Congrats
Well we had pre start on the 7th April so shortly after that I think?!!
Thanks Tonk, too late to make any changes at this stage. And believe me I've already doubted myself many times and wished I had of changed a few things. Haha. Never happy. Unfortunately it mainly came down to budget. Which already went over.(don't we all).

How far away are you from your build Marcia?

Just sitting back waiting for scheduling to finish. We got a tap Monday, so someone is clearly doing stuff behind the scenes. But I'd love to see something happen on the block!!! We've been in scheduling for 3 weeks now, building licence is issued so it can't be too long now.
Fingers crossed for you Marcia it won't be long. I spoke with our construction consultant today and she said they will be booking our earthworks and concreter tomorrow so we should have an idea of a date tomorrow
Just checked and we started scheduling on the 24th April so it took 7 weeks.
