Once it has a slab on it it will make it look bigger in a way aha, you start to see how everything fits. Cools photos too! Haha thanks Will be taking more photos when some more stuff happens, just waiting on landscaping to the curbs and some asphalt and we’re ready to go for settlement! Re: Our First Home - Building with Valeco in Brookhaven Esta 69Feb 10, 2018 7:26 pm Hey guys, Not much to report except we now have street lights, asphalt, and an electrical box in the street. we received our deposit invoice from Valeco on Friday, freaked out a little considering we have not even settled on the land yet, but I rang them and they said it was just a generic send out so they will put a note on our file that settlement is at the start of next month. Does anyone know who's responsibility it is to retain the fall on the right. our land is completely flat and the gradient starts on the land below us. We were under the impression if the buyers next to us would like to cut into the fall to take advantage of that extra land, then it would be their responsibility to retain. Though, we have had other residents in our estate say conflicting statements. any help?

Maybe someone else has insight? our land was flat and level with neighbours on both sides, so luckily we didn't have to deal with it. Our First Home - Building with Valeco in Brookhaven Estate 71Feb 10, 2018 10:11 pm Thanks gr8ly, I’ll try and look into it further. I’m on the same page as you, considering it’s not even our land to touch. Re: Our First Home - Building with Valeco in Brookhaven Esta 72Feb 23, 2018 8:26 pm Settlement Update!

Re: Our First Home - Building with Valeco in Brookhaven Esta 74Feb 23, 2018 10:19 pm Yay! wow not long to go now.. Our First Home - Building with Valeco in Brookhaven Estate 76Mar 01, 2018 8:00 pm We got an email from a company today with a form saying a private certifier has been engaged.. help, we are super annoying first time builders with lots of questions haha What does this mean? Re: Our First Home - Building with Valeco in Brookhaven Esta 77Mar 01, 2018 8:05 pm we had a private certifier as well.. its a good thing. Your plans will probably be approved a lot quicker rather than waiting from someone in council.. at least i think thats what it means lol Re: Our First Home - Building with Valeco in Brookhaven Esta 78Mar 01, 2018 8:18 pm Yeah we also had this. I don't know if it really made it quicker in council as we took 8 weeks lol. But for Ipswich and not Logan.
