Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Nov 15, 2009 12:26 pm Hi Everyone! I have been around a while but due to so many complications with the process of choosing a house, getting finance and the frustrations of the administration side with the builder, I decided to stay low! I am now much more positive as we embark on the nitty gritty of site start. With a port-a-loo appearing on site Friday, I think I can safely say we are on our way to getting our very own home. We are building with PD - which I have done before, this time though, has been quite horrible, but I do believe it will be better now that my file is at the construction stage and I will be dealing mostly with the site supervisor and avoiding the admin office as much as possible! We are building in Hidden Valley, north of Melbourne on a sloping block of approx 1100sqm. It has fantastic views and a great community. We currently rent nearby so will be visiting site often, so hopefully I will have lots of pics to share. Please feel free to visit my blog too... Talk soon!

You will only be a couple of weeks behind us - we had our loo on the 22 Oct - will be neck and neck! Will also be building on a slope so can't wait to see how it all develops. Good luck with the build - we had issues early on in admin phase but they have now framed the ground floor in two days so going very quick hope it all happens the same with you!
