Cheers It's lovely to meet another (sort of) neighbour! We're building in Stage 13 with Carlisle. What house are you building? Are you finished yet? Re: Alamanda Estate - Owners Forum 807Sep 01, 2010 9:46 am Greets to all and congrats to those getting ready to move in. Can I ask what have people done for drainage for their back yards? I drove past the block on the weekend and with all the rain we have been having I have a minor swimming pool in the backyard. I was thinking of installing soak Wells and running ag pipe before I rotary hoe and top dress the soil in preparation for lawn. Was thinking maybe slip the cable trencher guy some cash for the extra trench for the ag pipe and save my back. Anyone had any experience with this sort of thing? Building Charleton 283 with Henley.

Looking forward to watching it being built!!! Re: Alamanda Estate - Owners Forum 812Sep 06, 2010 3:38 pm Hi All, Just an update for anyone in Stage 14. I was out at the land office on Sunday speaking to Joel, and he said that with all this rain the expected title dates have been pushed to very late October, probably November now. Cheers. Re: Alamanda Estate - Owners Forum 813Sep 06, 2010 3:50 pm the rain just happened recently and the title was supposed to be in August. They seem to blame everything on rain and worst of all, the stage does not look like it has been worked at all since January... I'm Stage 9 -Site Start - 27th Jan 2011 Re: Alamanda Estate - Owners Forum 814Sep 06, 2010 8:04 pm Hi Draco.. have you actually had your ONU box installed yet? If so I'm wondering who actually did that for you.. Was it opticom thru your builder or did you have to engae opticom directly yourself?

I've seen another thread where some were quoted what we were quoted which was $5k to remove the existing and put a new one down. But others via private contractors were quoted around $2k? Anyone used someone who works around Alamanda? We're thinking of just getting the driveway and cross over done by the one companys which may save some $$$$. Council is charging $400 to re-plant the little tree they put in also....maybe the concrete truck can "'accidentally'' back over it I used Kev's Concreting- $1.8k to remove and install a new cross over- recommend them!

Hi lfc5cups.. i just called Techlife and they did everything.. then called internode to connect.. that's it.. thanks.. did Villawood pay for that fibre connection from street to house but you just organised it yourself through techlife?

You have to pay for the connection from the street to your house ($440) then you can (and probably will) pay for the signal for telephones and FTA TV to pumped into the house which is another ($440) (Robbing Bar stewards!!)

Re: Alamanda Estate - Owners Forum 819Sep 10, 2010 11:59 pm we got the smart wiring package from our builder so the connection from the street to the house is free.. then for techlife to connect/commission the service, you have to pay either $440 (???) or $660.. i paid the $660 (technology package) and they gave me a voucher number which 6 months phone rental and 6 months internet.. you only have to provide the voucher number to the ISP of your choice and they will sort out the plan..

MyHomeoneThread Our Oxford22 Blog Re: Alamanda Estate - Owners Forum 820Sep 13, 2010 1:26 pm I was just wondering if someone could give me some indication of the cost of getting the smart wiring points installed? I'll be looking at getting 2 tv points, 1 internet and 1 phone point connected. Just looking to add this into the budget. I've already set aside the $660 connection fee with Opticom and my builder in putting the connection from the street to the house in. 2 31332 In Victoria you cannot put a caveat on arising from a domestic building contract. 65 112181 They already have two well known ones (HIA & MBA) that many new home buyers mistakenly think are regulatory bodies that Joe Public can complain to. 6 18007 |
