Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Sep 08, 2009 5:13 pm Hey! We have just been told that our building contract is done and we will sign it this Saturday! We are booked in to meet our colour consultant to choose our colours on Thursday next week. eek (that is a whole new scary concept for me - what if i choose badly and hate it when its on our house) My question is - How long did everyone have to wait from signing contracts to getting a build start date? Or what date did they give you for a site start date? I am so excited that I want it to be started already! haha.

We signed on July 2nd, and site start was Aug 13th - so about 6 weeks. Good luck with everything! We're home!!!
