Re: Avonlee Stage 6 Brabham W.A 42Jun 07, 2014 12:10 am Just an update I emailed terranovis and had a response yesterday same as before still on track , and checked out the land nice and clear now ,also we had our pre start meeting today all went pretty well and most of the upgrades are fairly reasonable prices we spent just above our allowance (we allowed 3k ) spent $3200 total building with hombuyers Center btw Re: Avonlee Stage 6 Brabham W.A 43Jun 07, 2014 7:25 am hey checkers yeah they got some machines and actually are getting it done. however that means nothing as most stages have been physically done and dusted and still waited a year for titles so I hope this doesn't happen still. Wonder when they gonna start on services and road I want something new to drive on lol We are re-scheduling our pre-start to September. What extras did you get checkers out of curiosity. Re: Avonlee Stage 6 Brabham W.A 44Jun 07, 2014 3:40 pm Extras we got were Additional power points and power point upgrades including power to the alfresco and upgrade power point in garage Upgrade shower taps to mixer taps Upgrade bathroom sink Upgrade bathroom sink to mixer taps Upgrade shower head ensuit only Upgrade to heater lights in both bathrooms Additional TV points to master and 1x spare bedroom Upgrade the range hood to the slide out type with the Cupboards built around it Front door upgrade from the standard ( got the one with the squares ) We had a fair few things we wanted included in the start like alarm system , lighting package , upgrade flooring , doors to showers , Venetian blinds , garage instead of car port , alfresco , and side gate. Hope that gives you some ideas not sure what plan you have but if it's like ours I thought the kitchen was lacking storage that's why we got the cupboards , oh and also tiling above the cooker extended up to the cupboard which was cheap as chips Re: Avonlee Stage 6 Brabham W.A 45Jun 10, 2014 11:34 pm Hey I can't remember and don't have my contacts to hand but do you guys know who does our storm water drains /soak wells ? terranovis ? Re: Avonlee Stage 6 Brabham W.A 47Jun 11, 2014 3:17 pm Yup Terranovis provided a stormwater connection for each lot in 3A, however my builder advised they still need to install a silt trap (still cheaper than outright soakwells). The stormwater connection on each lot appears to go into the drains in Lancet Pl/Gelt Lane (which are very deep), so no issues there. We didn't have any notification of this beforehand, I only noticed it when 3A was under construction last year. You might be lucky and get them in your stage too Re: Avonlee Stage 6 Brabham W.A 48Jun 30, 2014 6:42 pm Elly_93 Hi everyone I have just got back my contracts and payed my deposit for a block in stage 3c so far they have said titles won't be delayed any longer than November but will see how that goes, is anyone else here building on stage 3c? Hi Elly, (& Everyone els) so glad i found this thread. We have just signed a contract for land in Avonlee Stage 3C - great to hear what has been happening regarding titles etc. I'm heading over to this post viewtopic.php?f=31&t=61667 as apparently there are some more Stage 3C builders we can get to know !! I got advised titles will be november only last night. Totally expecting delays and would be great to hear from others in the area. 14 Dreng Way, Brabham Signed Land Contract - 29/06/2014 Finance Formal approval - 16/09/2014 Prestart - 30/04/2015 Titles - 22/05/2015 Building Permit - 25/05/2015 Land settled - Slab - Bricks - Re: Avonlee Stage 6 Brabham W.A 49Jul 07, 2014 12:07 am Hi all, has anyone got any further info from terranovice? Also looking to hear from others in 3c? 14 Dreng Way, Brabham Signed Land Contract - 29/06/2014 Finance Formal approval - 16/09/2014 Prestart - 30/04/2015 Titles - 22/05/2015 Building Permit - 25/05/2015 Land settled - Slab - Bricks - Re: Avonlee Stage 6 Brabham W.A 50Jul 12, 2014 4:37 pm no updates that I know of I emailed terranovis for an update, nothing yet been nearly 2 weeks. this is in regards with stage 6. they really do drag their feet. but im use to it now. defiantly stage 6 won't get titles this year with the progress they are making. Re: Avonlee Stage 6 Brabham W.A 51Jul 12, 2014 6:25 pm I'm not entirely sure where stage 6 is. But we secured a block which came back on sale for stage 3c and apparently titles are due in November. But there have already been a couple of delays so I'm not holding my breath. 14 Dreng Way, Brabham Signed Land Contract - 29/06/2014 Finance Formal approval - 16/09/2014 Prestart - 30/04/2015 Titles - 22/05/2015 Building Permit - 25/05/2015 Land settled - Slab - Bricks - Re: Avonlee Stage 6 Brabham W.A 52Jul 12, 2014 8:34 pm Stage 6 is south of 3A and Cob Road, so on the western side of Pannage Way. 3C is the eastern side of Pannage Way, and a bit further south. I popped by today to check on my build in 3A, there was a grader doing circuits flattening dirt in stage 6. Don't hold your breath waiting for updates from Terranovis, they probably don't even know what's happening. Best thing to do is pop by occasionally and check it out for yourself. Re: Avonlee Stage 6 Brabham W.A 53Jul 12, 2014 11:52 pm that scraper has been playing around out there for awhile, at least 5 to 6 weeks. I believe they are levelling and sorting out more than stage 6 a and b while they are on site could be wrong but looks that way. Will go out there and check end of next week. Re: Avonlee Stage 6 Brabham W.A 55Jul 13, 2014 4:09 pm Hi every one, I have brought in stage 6 and thought I would give a heads up incase you have seen the website in awhile, but have a look at your lot size, as some have decrease, the centre lots which where at about 212m2 are stating 202m2,!! Once terranovis responded to my email they stated it was the city of swan requirements to have a footpath! Re: Avonlee Stage 6 Brabham W.A 56Jul 14, 2014 1:28 pm Lolala Hi every one, I have brought in stage 6 and thought I would give a heads up incase you have seen the website in awhile, but have a look at your lot size, as some have decrease, the centre lots which where at about 212m2 are stating 202m2,!! Once terranovis responded to my email they stated it was the city of swan requirements to have a footpath! WOW! I'd be wanting a refund back or a discount on the land if they changed mine. Has it affected your building/designs at all? I checked mine still the same thankgod but I noticed the change in the middle ones compared to the old ones I printed this time last year. I went to site today for a visit, I was surprised to see 7 machines working on stage 6 a and b. And more amazed a big excavator ontop of the big pile of dirt. Re: Avonlee Stage 6 Brabham W.A 57Jul 14, 2014 6:43 pm Wow - changing the size of blocks.... REALLY? is it just on the website for the stages / areas?? I emailed Terranovis earlier today and the rep who we signed our contract said he heard last week titles may be due around March instead of November. (Stage 3c - Avonlee) I contacted the contracts Manager Kristy, she said the Project Manager Andrew hasn't made any official updates yet. Still fairly new to the game, we've today decided on our builder YAY - no more searching!!!! But why exactly are there delays for titles? What do they need to be able to issue titles? 14 Dreng Way, Brabham Signed Land Contract - 29/06/2014 Finance Formal approval - 16/09/2014 Prestart - 30/04/2015 Titles - 22/05/2015 Building Permit - 25/05/2015 Land settled - Slab - Bricks - Re: Avonlee Stage 6 Brabham W.A 58Jul 14, 2014 9:32 pm My understanding is that to be able to issue titles, each lot needs sewer, power and water connectivity, plus road access of some sort. One frustrating thing about 3A was that all this was done by September last year, but Terranovis waited until they'd fiddled around with minor things (e.g. the orange brick walls on top of the retaining walls, that are probably just going to get in the way during construction). So there's more to it than just having a piece of dirt you can plonk a house on Re: Avonlee Stage 6 Brabham W.A 59Jul 14, 2014 10:14 pm I did ask the rreply was its in the contrAct changes can be made before titles or something I have gone from 212m2 to 202m2, was never going to have much much of a yard but now I'm going to be touching the fence from the alfresco. House will fit just. Re: Avonlee Stage 6 Brabham W.A 60Jul 14, 2014 11:55 pm Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought you were only allowed to have a certain % of your land covered by the dwelling. I'd be worried if my house took up 95% of my block. 14 Dreng Way, Brabham Signed Land Contract - 29/06/2014 Finance Formal approval - 16/09/2014 Prestart - 30/04/2015 Titles - 22/05/2015 Building Permit - 25/05/2015 Land settled - Slab - Bricks - 1 9290 Thanks for much mate. I see that you do cabinets before flooring. For timber flooring, for most parts it's fine because it's got base plates, and for door jabs you can… 7 22389 Hi Building legal - thank you so much for your reply - I'll take your advice and pay straight away - canehopper 2 6408 |
