Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Oct 25, 2020 4:22 pm Hi guys! My partner and I are building the Simonds Moroak 24 in Melbourne's West. Have recieved a lot of inspiration and ideas from different posts on Homeone. Looking to document our process, potentially get some ideas and create general discussion around the build. There isn't posts relating to the Moroak, so we just want to share our experience! Re: Simonds Moroak 24 Sloping Block Build 2Oct 25, 2020 4:51 pm Current status of the build is that the land settled on 6/10/2020. To save cost on the build we have decided to do the site cut ourselves. In order to apply for Homebuilder grant, Simonds has requested us to complete the site cut before the gallery and contracts signed. We were able to get the block flat over the build envelope which was completed Monday 20/10/2020. Initial deposits have been paid to builder and soil testing to take place this coming week and slab engineering thereafter!

A little dry during COVID unfortunately. Re: Simonds Moroak 24 Sloping Block Build 4Jan 28, 2021 6:55 pm Cupcake2021 How's it going? We are going to start building Trinity in Vic.

Really posted this to see if anyone was interested in the Moroak as there is minimal information about it. We're at a stage where the construction plans are being drawn up as we speak and start date is mid to late March! What stage are you at with your build?

There isn't posts relating to the Moroak, so we just want to share our experience! Sounds great! We are interested in the moroak as well, waiting on land to be titled. What size block are you building on? And did you make many alterations/add ons? Cheers!

What size block are you building on? And did you make many alterations/add ons? Cheers! James and Bell Hi James and Bell! Very exciting guys. Are you located in VIC? Our block is 722m2. Due to the sloping nature of our land, we had to create a building pad for the house itself. In terms of alterations and add ons, we upgraded to the embark package (additonal down lights, upgraded flooring, stone benches, more cupboards, brick over windows, remote garage, better appliances, etc). Also paid the extra for the alfresco (doesn't come standard). Gallery upgrades included double vanity in ensuite, bigger shower, extra cabinents in bathroom and kitchen, flipped floor plan and a lot more smaller details. Let me know if you have anymore questions Re: Simonds Moroak 24 Sloping Block Build 8Mar 08, 2021 10:14 am icat2000 Good luck with your building process. Keep posting updates. Thanks icat2000, we're intending to post more regularly now that we are due to start in the next few weeks. Finance approvals has been a long drawn out process. We are completing the retaining walls ourselves, so these hopefully will be completed in the next couple of weeks. We do have an instagram page. We will be posting here and on instagram for those interested: https://www.instagram.com/buildingourmo ...

It will be good to see how Simonds are dealing with their new customers now.

We will be building soon too. It will be good to see how Simonds are dealing with their new customers now. For the land that we purchased, the floor plans fitthe block perfectly. We've been fairly happy so far with the build process with Simonds. I would definitely recommend them. There has been some hiccups since we're undertaking our own earthworks and retaining walls. But Simonds were accomadating in allowing us to complete these works ourselves in the first place.
