Myself and my hubby are building a dual occ in cronulla- a villina 28 and a modified tiffany 3 bedda (all we could fit!) Is anyone else building a dual occ? So far our story seems to be going well, compared to some things we've read! Heres our timeline so far- 15/01/2012 Initial meeting with Carol 21/01/2012 Meeting with Planner 14/02/2012 Final concept plan emailed to us 16/02/2012 Confirmed and planner emailed to Carol 21/02/2012 Carol sent it to head office. 15/03/2012 Planners got our file back 10/04/2012 Plans and BASIX completed for approval We're not sure if everyones waiting time to get 'plans'was for the final plans, or initial? cheers Re: Masterton Homes - The new thread 2.0 496Apr 09, 2012 12:09 pm Welcome AznJuss. We havent done a dual occ but are going for a secondary dwelling. (House and grannyflat/cabin). We have now been waiting around 4 weeks for our initial plans from M. Re: Masterton Homes - The new thread 2.0 497Apr 09, 2012 4:06 pm Hi Sirocco7, Hm, 4 weeks for initial plans? It seems to be really a matter of luck as to when things get done. We got given the direct number for the drafting company in Sydney that are doing our DA, so it helps we can keep calling them each week to chase evrything up. Where are you guys building? I have another question for everyone: Is the facade cost generally included in the tender, or is it added on at the final contract signing? We are a little confused, as our tender states 'custim facade-note', are we gonna get stung for the facade costs at a later stage?? Re: Masterton Homes - The new thread 2.0 498Apr 09, 2012 4:59 pm I specified my preferred facade at the tender stage so that cost was always in my tender. If you change it from the basic facade then it will be added later, just like any other changes such as more expensive tapware or locks or extra electrical points etc. One thing I didn't do was decide on my surface for the alfresco area but that can wait - until after I have the finished house and the landscaping done outside the house and then I can work out what surface for the alfresco that will blend so that going from the inside of the house through the alfresco to the outside area will go together. I mention this because it was one of those things that didn't come up at the time of choosing the tiles and to add it now would be rather more expensive than waiting until I am in and doing the final finishings. Re: Masterton Homes - The new thread 2.0 499Apr 09, 2012 5:06 pm Welcome to the forum AznJuss I have just referred to our first tender which states on the first page "... the proposal is based upon your selection for the Villina 28 Traditional design,...". The word "facade" does not appear anywhere else in the tender. We upgraded to the contemporary facade and the final tender states "... based upon your selection of the Villina 28 Contemporary design..." and the total price of the tender has been adjusted accordingly. Don't forget though that even though you upgrade your facade, it is still only for facebrick from their standard range. A lot of the facade images on M's website actually have stack stone, render, upgraded bricks etc. Contract signed 20/8/11 DA submitted 9/9/11 DA approved 10/10/11 CC issued 23/11/11 Slab poured 10/02/12 Facade: http://www.newhomevisuals.com/clients/nhv085-2.jpg Re: Masterton Homes - The new thread 2.0 500Apr 09, 2012 6:39 pm AznJuss Hi Sirocco7, Hm, 4 weeks for initial plans?
