Re: Who's building in Sydney? 23Nov 03, 2008 8:08 pm Real work (slab prep) started just last week on our Clarendon Cambridge in Como (Sydney). It will be a "modern" facade as pictured in the link, but with eaves, dark roof tiles, and light brickwork (not rendered). The site of the slab has been levelled and piers drilled and filled with concrete.
It's a KDR. We demolished a 4-bedroom fibro/aluminium single storey built around 1954 and extensively modified by my father-in-law. It seemed we waited forever for the demolition to start (it was about 4 months), then we were slugged an extra $3500 because a few pieces of fibro were found buried under some old concrete. Estimated completion June/July 2009 - weather permitting. Built the C£arend0n Cambridge: Moved in. Happy campers.

I've seen the original display village - but many of those homes were up for sale - the EB rep told me they were building more. After 4 years - we're in!

I've seen the original display village - but many of those homes were up for sale - the EB rep told me they were building more. They were , but they let the DA plans lapse so its up in the air at the moment ... The only display homes now open is E B and Cl*&ndan all the others are closed and sold ... The Cl#$ndan will be closing soon , the E B is also for sale but on a lease back for a while yet as they are building a lot of these still ...

Hi Stonecutter1309, Road works are being carried out near our property, hence, RTA cannot give us road permit until after that work is done. It's right in front of our property! We've waited and fought with Cl@rendon for a construction start date.... and now this.... talk about timing!

We're building 'The Lodge' with Mirv@c in Stanhope Gardens. Last time we visited half the frame was up but we've since been overseas for a fortnight so hoping some more progress has been made since then. Very pleased with the build so far... Nice to 'meet' some other Sydneysiders! Rosie Re: Who's building in Sydney? 34Nov 13, 2008 10:18 pm Hi dflaks. Whereabouts in St Ives are you building? I grew up there, my Mum lives in Stanley St and we're in South Turramurra. Small world.
ETA you need to get your DA in ASAP. Got a letter that said this: Development applications Christmas notification period 10 December 2008 - 13 February 2009 Development applications submitted between 10 December 2008 and 23 January 2009 (both days inclusive) that require notification to surrounding properties will have an extended notification period due to Christmas and New Year holidays. The notification period will close on 13 February 2009 but may be further extended for some applications lodged in this period to comply with Council's notification policy. Judie Re: Who's building in Sydney? 35Feb 15, 2009 8:46 am Hi
Got DA approved and knockdown begins next week. In Killeaton St. The wife is driving me nuts with facade, brick colour and render colour...she keeps changing her mind! Does anyone know of a good computer program or website where you can go to quickly change colours of things to visualise what it would roughly look like? thanks Flaksy Re: Who's building in Sydney? 36Feb 15, 2009 5:59 pm sydney satellite area - building in the Illawarra with Cl@r%nd*n.
