Signed our final contracts on Tuesday and just have a few minor things to tidy up before we can get our colour selections booked in. The estate developer also accepted our plans (after some minor negotiations) so we're getting closer to some action. Have put up some scans of our facade and now super-mega-huge bedroom 1 on the blog. http://build.nlturner.com.

Always a good thing when things move forward!! Just had a quick look at your blog too. Your colours look great, I really like them! Good luck with everything! Re: N&L Milano at Augustine Heights QLD - Final Contract Sig 32Sep 16, 2010 5:10 pm Great news guys, fingers crossed ippy council does not take too long. Love the layout of the master bedroom Cheers Lou http://take2-customdesigndownslope.blogspot.com 07-10-09 omg they have cut the block 14-05-10 we finally have the keys Re: N&L Milano at Augustine Heights QLD - Final Contract Sig 33Sep 16, 2010 5:57 pm Thanks n&n and Lou. Yeah, we're pretty happy with the master bed layout though I think we might need to buy some more furniture so it doesn't look completely empty. We've been told the Ipswich City Council has been moving pretty quickly with these approvals lately but we're not holding our breath.

My wife and I actually drove past your block a few times yesterday as we are looking to build in the area too. So frustrating finding a semi flat block that's big enough! We were actually looking at a block just down the road from you, but it's got an odd angle in it and it's making it quite difficult to build the right home on. We may wait for the next stage to come online and find a block there. Seems that The Springs is one of the only estates around there that offer mostly flat blocks! So jealous of your M3tric0n home though, we were actually thinking of purchasing one of the displays at Brentwood Rise but it's too overpriced. Good luck with your build, maybe next year we might be neighbours! Re: N&L Milano at Augustine Heights QLD - Final Contract Sig 35Oct 01, 2010 10:21 pm Hi MrForgetful. We ran into the same problems with flat blocks and odd shapes so it was great finding the one we did. It's saved us a fortune in site costs and retaining. I'm not entirely sure but I believe the story with the estate is that it was originally supposed to be entirely made up of turn-key / house and land packages built by the developer and so they went and flattened / retained all the blocks. They then later changed their mind and decided to sell off some of the land instead (which is why our block contained a rather large hole in the front corner - the original plan for the house to go on it had a zero lot boundary sunken garage). Will be interesting to see whether they decide to level the next stage or simply the blocks they intend to develop themselves. Very happy with our choice in Metricon. We too, enquired as to the price of the displays (including the displays of a few other builders) but were pretty shocked when we learned how much they were going for. Goes to show how many dollars worth of upgrades and put into the displays to entice you. The fantastic looking Adelphi on display at Springfield Lakes was probably the home that got us to choose Met. Anyway good luck with your search for land and let us know if you find something. Always good to keep tabs on the possible future neighbours Nick and Lauren Milano 30 Build | http://build.nlturner.com HomeOne Thread: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=35887 Re: N&L Milano at Augustine Heights QLD - Final Contract Sig 36Oct 02, 2010 6:10 pm We had our eye on the Talbot at Brentwood Rise but we figure there was probably $100k+ of just landscaping that we were paying for! So the block at The Springs we are looking at is turning out to be slightly annoying to build on due to its shape. We did however find some blocks at Augustine Heights which are larger, for less, but sloping... So it's becoming a game of 'which will be easier' Good luck with your build!

Don't be too quick to be put off by a slopping site, you might not be able to build with a major project builder but there are a of builders in our area that will build on these site now. Just be aware it is what is under the soil that can make the difference, there is a M3tricon home being built down the road on a flat block they have been there for a week with a rock breaker I would had to see the bill when that one is finished.
