Browse Forums Building A New House Re: First time build: Custom narrow riverside home in WA 5Apr 02, 2024 5:00 pm A quick update, we didn't have site start before Easter. Summit can't seem to give me a day when they are scheduled to begin, so I'm left with a vague "within 10-20 business days" to expect some movement. I'm hoping they get moving soon while we still have decent weather, otherwise I'm sure the rain in winter is going to delay the brickwork! Hopefully I get some good news this week. I'm remaining optimistic that things will move along more quickly once building has started. Here's a breakdown of timeline for anyone who is interested. Signed PPA - 16/07/23 Council approval - 03/11/23 Contract signed - 13/12/23 Prestart - 05/01/24 Final plans and docs completed - 08/02/24 Building permit - 12/03/24 Water meter - 16/03/24 Re: First time build: Custom narrow riverside home in WA 6Apr 19, 2024 6:42 pm So it looks like we finally have some movement on site! Definitely later than expected, but I'll take any progress at this point. I'll drop by over the weekend to get some pics. Hopefully a slab by the end of the month! Re: First time build: Custom narrow riverside home in WA 9May 01, 2024 6:56 pm So still no slab and apparently the concreter cancelled. Here come the delays... apparently things haven't recovered quite as much as I thought. I've been told maybe next week. Will have to keep the slab party on ice until then. Can anyone give me any onfo on New Homes WA? Good or bad, hopefully good just need to know if my choice was good or not? Thanks ❤️ 0 9240 Thanks again for this information. If you do hear anything different, would be great to know 4 8457 dimensions on your original plan are inconsistent and with accurate dimensions (including site plan, upstairs and down) i could make a proper scale drawing with furniture… 3 7703 |
