That's the rule for Gold Coast city council hopefully yours is different. Every council has different rules, give them a call to know where you stand. Best of luck with your build (we are still waiting on our land so I know the feeling about slow going) I gave them a call this morning, I guess we have different rules which is great!. We sign the application with the council and we just need a letter from the current land owner to state he is happy for us to submit application before settlement. That's a relief! I have been following the general build thread, its been so helpful!

Have council given you a time frame for building approval once you lodge the plans and owners letter? I hope they are quick. Re: Coral Homes Build - Wauchope NSW 11Feb 16, 2015 1:01 pm 6 weeks roughly! Hoping it's a bit quicker then that time is ticking Modified Sapphire - Wauchope NSW https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=75816&p=1302396#p1302396 Re: Coral Homes Build - Wauchope NSW 12Feb 24, 2015 7:52 am Hi Elise and Tim, We will be building a modified Noosa 25, in Harrington soon I hope. Signed contracts 9/2/15 and docs will be submitted to Taree City Council this week for approval, apparently the Private Certifier could not process. Coral have suggested 6 to 8 weeks for approval. Because we are from the Central Coast we went through the Woongarrah sales office. I would assume that we will probably have the same SS as you because the build will be managed through the Port Macquarie office. Looking forward to colour selections next week and Clipsal appointment soon. Re: Coral Homes Build - Wauchope NSW 13Feb 24, 2015 11:03 am Oh Im super excited for you, if you have the same SS apparently he is really really nice, we have friends building at the moment in Sovereign Hills PMQ and they are looking at finishing in March/April I think they mentioned his name is Ashley. We finally got our tender today, although no site costs as yet so waiting to confirm what they are as the price doesnt really mean anything untill we know how much they are going to be. Also need changes to stone benchtops in ensuite & bathroom & discuss downpipes etc, which will mean more waiting the time is dragging on though I am not happy about waiting so long. Head office seem so slow. Adriang Hi Elise and Tim, We will be building a modified Noosa 25, in Harrington soon I hope.

Our SC was great in making sure all the little things were fixed. Make sure that the SC puts everything in writing particularly with what is included as standard. We had one issue with the feature tiles in the bathroom and ensuite, that the SC assured us were included but when it came to tile selection they were an upgrade. When it comes to the contract, the current tender letter forms the basis for the contract along with the plans. Our plans had lots of mistakes, including having downpipes running down the sides of the front portico columns. Coral wanted to fix everything with written variations but we insisted that the plans were drawn correctly. They did this OK. That is good news about the Port SS, it makes a big difference to have a great SS. Re: Coral Homes Build - Wauchope NSW 15Feb 24, 2015 9:03 pm Yes definitely read through it carefully and match it against your designer or what ever package you got specifications to see everything has been included. As adriang has said make sure everything the sc mentions is either written down or at least in an email so you have proof of what was said to you. we had a few things that our sc said to us which was incorrect but we challenged head office and won. Re: Coral Homes Build - Wauchope NSW 16Mar 04, 2015 12:15 pm Thanks guys! we are currently still waiting for our prelim tender, we received half of it and waiting on the other half. Poor effort if you ask me, not happy at all & considering other options at the moment.

My partner and i considered Coral Homes at the start for our build in Kempsey but ended up choosing a local builder. Cannot wait to see how yours progresses!

Just wondering if anyone has some advice about home sewerage treatment plans/ prices available in the area. I'm building in Kempsey and so far, $10k has been bandied about. I would preferably like a system which allows grey water to be used for irrigation etc. Not sure if this is standard these days. Coral advised that going privately would probably cheaper than thru them but if anyone local has advice, I would love to hear from you. thanks so much. Ask the council if there is a chance of getting build over easement exemption. Sometimes easements are unused and 24cm is not all that much. Good luck. And yes any builder… 2 15043 Hi so sorry for the late reply. I already contacted them and they wouldn't tell me instead they tried to get me to talk to one of their home coordinators and I'm not… 2 6154 regardless, your contract stipulates a payments schedule and SOPA doesn't give provision to that scenario. Your contractual terms appear to stand. Hence get a lawyer, it… 4 12422 |
