How long between contract signing and site start?

Just wondering how long everyone has waited between contracts being signed and a site start?

Our land is titled and settled - so ready to go, and we're waiting for a date to sign our contracts. We're just wondering(hoping!!) if there's a possibility we may get a site start this year.

Hello neighbour,

when I quizzed Henley, they say generally 4 weeks after contract signing. Because our land settled after the contract signing ours was a little different. But we have site start this week... 6 weeks after land settlement.

Heading out there Friday to hopefully see the site cut

For us it was just over 2 months. We owned the land and it was titled and ready also.

It was dependant upon 2 things, permits and having finance unconditionally approved with the bank ready to make drawdown payments, which each took about 8 weeks from signing. The finance delay was really down to the surge in mortgage apps/approvals at the time, so it hopefully isnt taking that long anymore.

Once we had both, 2 weeks was all it took for works onsite to commence (site cut). 12 days later slab was poured (with 2 rain delay days).

Who are you building with? We were advised by CSC that PD don't have any site starts left until well into next year.

We're building with Henley and have our Pre-approval from the bank - so really only thing we're waiting for is for them to say come and sign!

we signed contract on the 25th may and slab was around 12weeks later

Don't forget about building approval from the shire.... We had everything good to go, land, finance etc and experienced huge delays with the shire. We signed our contract in may and are still waiting for a site start date.

Have you received developers approval yet? MR committe meet fortnightly on a Friday to do all approvals etc. Suss out from Henley if they've sent them the drawings yet.
