They've been nothing short of amazing so far, really helpful and great at getting our thoughts on paper. Looking forward to watching your build happen! Thanks mate, where are you building? Any plans finalized? We're building in the Inner West (ish), doing a knockdown rebuild. Our plans are all done. Single storey, 4 bedroom, 2.5 living areas (study/ children's activity), and a pool by King Homes too. All up around 270 sqm. It's been a great experience so far, looking to get contracts sign in the next few weeks and move on to colour selections. Re: Blacktown NSW KDR with King Homes 10Jun 16, 2021 10:13 am So just a quick update. Our papers were put in on 11th June for council approval. Getting the colors and bricks sorted out was quite the journey. Ultimately, wifey and I settled on red bricks from PGH for our house. We are seeing lots of builds with dark colored bricks and wanted something different. Lady at PGH was very helpful in setting up our colors. She bought up a sample house on the screen close to ours and changed colors for each element of the house. Because we added skylights, we had to resubmit BASIX as well. Drawings had to be updated as well. We did the internal selections as well and lots of variations piling up. Its funny how much goes into display homes. You realise once you start pricing the upgrades. Hopefully, we don''t go over budget. Re: Blacktown NSW KDR with King Homes 11Jul 23, 2021 4:58 pm Another quick update. The lockdown has shifted our plans for demolition. Since construction has been halted, we are now looking at first week of August. In the meantime, we have arranged for the trees to be removed by council. They were quick to withdraw the money so hopefully the removal is just as fast. For the last week, there has been lack of communication from King homes. Phone calls and emails are not being returned. Hopefully, this is a passing phase and not an indication of things to come. We have an electrical appointment soon. In face appointments allow us to see things in person but due to lockdown, this will be online. The electrical guys should have plenty of practice of online consultations before they get to us.

Re: Blacktown NSW KDR with King Homes 17Sep 21, 2021 2:56 pm So a quick update in the house. The house has been pulled down and all asbestos removed from site. The construction is ready to start pending final plans. I have been promised that it should start soon so no more waiting I would think.
