Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jun 04, 2009 12:48 pm My husband and I are building our first home in spring farm. We got a phone call yesterday from Miss A saying that we hope to start building next week. I am so excited that I thought that I would bring everyone along with the ride P1010225.JPG Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅
Re: Building with Wisdom - Prosperity 24 in Spring Farm 2Jun 04, 2009 12:58 pm Congratulations Pricessfee! That's exciting news I really love how you've changed the original house plan too. I was looking at the Prosperity at one stage but as there was no display house was reluctant to go ahead. I am now building with Cosmopolitan (also at Spring Farm - Stage 4).

I am now building with Cosmopolitan (also at Spring Farm - Stage 4). Hey thanks, Yeah, we were a bit disappointed that there wasn't a display home but as we have changed the main parts of the house with ones we've seen (eg: ensuite) we are confident with our decision. What side are you on in spring farm? What stage are you up to? Re: Building with Wisdom - Prosperity 24 in Spring Farm 4Jun 04, 2009 1:32 pm We're on the Mirvac side - Cape St. We have been told the land won't be registered until at least July/August (and I'm expected this to be pushed back!) so building isn't likely to commence until September/October. Still trying to sort out financing etc so we're not in any particular rush!!

We have just knocked down our house and hope to start in the not too distant future! Hey thanks, you must be getting soo excited aswell. It sounds like Wisdom are going to be quite busy when the rain stops Where are you building? and which house? Do you have a blog? Re: Building with Wisdom - Prosperity 24 in Spring Farm 7Jun 05, 2009 9:55 am We are building the Providence 24 with a few changes at The Oaks. I think my husband was speaking to you about it either last weekend or the one before when you did his hair.

Did you manage to sort the fence issue out? Keep in touch, I cannot wait to see your house begin Re: Building with Wisdom - Prosperity 24 in Spring Farm 9Jun 05, 2009 10:02 pm Yep our temporary fence is around the garage which is still there and our house was knocked down with no problems. A slight hiccup with the Bank, if you could call it that. They made a mistake, not something you want to hear when you no longer have a house! After numerous complaints they are slowly sorting that out. I just hope it doesn't hold Wisdom up. When is your tile appointment?

Didn't you have to hire the fence yourselves though? or did that get sorted out? Huh, banks!!! I tell you if we didn't need them... Yeah, I guess you could say that would be stressful Sometimes the only way to get anywhere is to make a noise. I hope that it all gets sorted out quickly though, you don't want to have to wait forever. I am not sure yet when our tile appointment is. They rang us to make one but my husband needs to take a day off work to go (as we dont get days off together). We haven't even gone to look at them so we have no idea what we want. I am just hoping one will pop out at us Great news though, 1sttimer has just messaged me and let me know that they have started cutting our land I am soo excited. Will post up some photos tomorrow. Re: Building with Wisdom - Prosperity 24 in Spring Farm 11Jun 06, 2009 9:50 pm Love your floor plan! Looking forward to following your journey... as long as you dont mind Re: Building with Wisdom - Prosperity 24 in Spring Farm 12Jun 07, 2009 8:33 am aaron4erin Love your floor plan! Looking forward to following your journey... as long as you dont mind Not at all. The more the merrier Re: Building with Wisdom - Prosperity 24 in Spring Farm 13Jun 07, 2009 10:10 am We ended up hiring our own fence for extra security. I'm not sure when Wisdom put up their fence? We have been to the tile place a couple of times and keep changing our minds every time! We are having trouble deciding on floor tiles as we love the ones in the Providence display home at The Ponds but of course they are a major upgrade! We really want to be able to choose from the standard range and hopefully the only upgrade will be the feature tiles. That's great news that they have started cutting your block. How long does it take to get from your file going to estimating to the stage where you are at?

How long does it take to get from your file going to estimating to the stage where you are at? Yeah, I thought that I heard your hubby say that you were going to hire your own fence. I am not sure when you'll get your fence off wisdom as ours isn't even up yet. Maybe when the slab is being poured. Are you able to go back a few times and choose them? I think that we might go in a few hours before our appointment so that we can discuss what we want beforehand. We haven't been to The Ponds display homes, so I am not sure about the ones that you are talking about. Are there a few to choose from in the standard range? Yeah we are soo excited about the cut and fill being done. I am not sure how long it took from the estimating stage to now cos we weren't told when they were estimating in the first place. But we signed our contract about one and a half months ago, so after that I guess. Re: Building with Wisdom - Prosperity 24 in Spring Farm 15Jun 07, 2009 7:14 pm You can go to the tile place whenever you want and have a look around. There were quite a few tiles to choose from just not in the shade we wanted. We were last there about 1 month ago and they were about to get a new range in. We haven't been back since so I'm not sure if it has changed much.

[edit, you posted the pics while I was typing this! ] How long ago did you guys get the Construction Certificate? Boy Wisdom are going to be busy the next few months! Yeah I know, we are so happy. It feels like we are finally moving after five and a half months - but I guess I always knew that the paperwork side of things was going to take a while - and I know that it will go so fast from now on in. We got our certificate on the 19th May. Is that quick to start? The bank held us up for a week or so, so it would've been faster had that part gone smoothly. Yeah they are going to be so busy. It seams that alot of people are at the same stage. It's nice to know that they are busy, and it hasn't seemed to show in their work so far. I guess we just have to trust that they know how much work they have and are able to cope. But I have no reason to think otherwise. They have been great so far Re: Building with Wisdom - Prosperity 24 in Spring Farm 19Jun 07, 2009 10:26 pm congrats on the start....we cannot wait to see some action on our block!!
