Browse Forums Building A New House Building with Kurmond Homes 1297Oct 30, 2015 8:57 am Hi big mama, you are officially winning the race , no driveway for me yet... Landscaping is scary so we are using a landscaper... We have to add large steps and raise the front with retainer walls and planting. I am using Instyle landscaping and paving Pty he is on Facebook and is an absolute perfectionist!!! https://www.facebook.com/Instyle-Landsc ... 739869363/ Re: Building with Kurmond Homes 1298Oct 30, 2015 12:11 pm Hi All, Good to see your bricks are on the way, Ses. Woo, driveway! Congrats Big Mama. EK, another 2 weeks? That's a bit sad. Hope it goes quickly. Loks, sounds like you're getting pretty close, how exciting! And for everyone in the earlier stages, they really can drag on! Ours was early May slab, late May frame, late July Bricks complete, mid Aug roof complete. It's like something happens each month but at the finish stages it seems stuff happens about each week (well, until you hit a roadblock). I was super excited to see my kitchen sink and tap are now in! Also the downstairs toilet. Who'd have thought a toilet was such cause for celebration? I assume this means taps and toilets could be done upstairs too. We don't seem to have any lights/power points in as yet but it's looking pretty good. Regarding landscaping, I am trying to DIY as much as I can. That said, we've got a landscaper for retaining walls. We asked our SS for recommendations (which may or may not be a good idea, depending on your relationship with your own SS). Re: Building with Kurmond Homes 1299Oct 30, 2015 3:26 pm Mouses Congratulations on your dunny EK1976 Thanks I will look at that site tonight. Who recommended that landscaper to you? Guys Another delay. Just found out they have to replace our kitchen cupboards as the ones they put up have not been made to cater for our recessed strip lighting. Their mistake. No attention to detail, AGAIN. Think maybe our carpet was laid yesterday. Re: Building with Kurmond Homes 1300Oct 30, 2015 5:53 pm sounds like progress for most. Big Mama really??? Congrats on the driveway though. I know a really good landscaper, will get his details, seen many pictures of his before and after and he has good vision. Think he may be pretty expensive though but not having a reference point on cost I don't really know. Will check tomorrow to see if tiler is there and true to their word. I would never build with Fowler homes. I built with them in 2021 and till date maintenance issues are pending. All their existing trades and businesses don't work with… 14 109708 Hi there! Putting the feelers out there for those who have (or almost) built with Arli homes! Interested in your experiences who've built from their stock home designs… 0 26677 Wish you all the best. Once you signed the contract, they will find millions excuses to charge you. And have seen their sites unfinished for a long time. 4 25850 |
