Hope your slab waits for you to come back Banksia Garden I have forgotten, is that Armadale/Kemscot way? I hope so too, but I don't think I'm that lucky. Banksia Grove is about 7mins north east of Joondalup. I'm sure you'll be underway soon if you had pre-start just before me. Everything went through council very quickly for me and I was waiting a while for finance to come through early on, so a lot of stuff was already sorted in my case and was waiting on settlement of the land. Aussie Living seem to be very efficient when it comes to getting stuff done as quickly as possible (I suppose they just want to get on with it and get paid hahaha). So far I've been having a pretty much dream run - I can only hope the luck lasts. Oh and I've had this tap for ages and ages - like before christmas, but it wasn't connected to mains as there was no water, so the tap only became functional a couple of weeks ago. One thing that concerns me is that there is a slab next to my place, but they have no water or temp power so they are probably using mine (even though its all the way over the other side of my block). I'll be really ** off if they are as I'll be paying for it. When I get back, if they still don't have water and power and they have had more progress, I'm going to ask the tradies who the builder is and ring them as I believe its illegal to not have temporary power on site for each individual block.

My GF has taken a bunch of pictures etc, but they are on her computer and not mine, so you all have to wait - not that its that exciting seeing concrete. I'm not back until the 31st so I'll update again when I get back Re: Delta w/Aussie Living, Banksia Grove - I have a tap 25Mar 17, 2010 4:15 pm Thats a bummer your slab didnt wait for you to come back. We are a weird lot on here, we love seeing pictures of slabs so yes it is exciting. My building thread viewtopic.php?f=1&t=25279 NEARLY DONE.

Sorry about that but I've been working up north so I've not really had time to do anything internet related. Heres a few pics of the build to its current point.

When times get tough build a house...Our second build Re: Delta w/Aussie Living, Banksia Grove - Death by Pics :) 29May 24, 2010 5:26 pm Yeah pretty happy with Aussie so far. There are a few little issues - which I have taken up with them and they seem to be doing half of whats requested, not all - so I'll keep you updated there. On the whole though they are pretty easy to deal with and are getting on with the job. Yeah its gone up fast - but its a small house so thats not surprising. Should hopefully be finished by late Aug early Sep. Seems lots of people have had slowdowns lately - I think certain builders are seriously over stretched. Re: Delta w/Aussie Living, Banksia Grove - Death by Pics :) 30May 25, 2010 10:35 am Hi Delta, It is looking good. Pretty sure I have seen your place from doing the drive bys around the suburbs. I am waiting on Stage 5 to be completed before we can build. ---- Building in Banksia Grove We have keys - 31st March 2011 Re: Delta w/Aussie Living, Banksia Grove - Death by Pics :) 31May 25, 2010 2:49 pm sidewinder Hi Delta, It is looking good. Pretty sure I have seen your place from doing the drive bys around the suburbs. I am waiting on Stage 5 to be completed before we can build. Nice to see someone else on here building in Banksia Grove. Considering how many houses are going up I'm surprised there aren't more people interested in a forum for people who are building. They seem to be releasing and completing stages pretty quickly, so hopefully you'll be building sooner than you think. Re: Delta w/Aussie Living, Banksia Grove - Death by Pics :) 32May 25, 2010 2:54 pm Yeah, we are down off Splendens Ave which is just off Joseph Banks Blv, titles were originally due June, but now July. How long did Waneroo Council Take to approve the plans can you remember? ---- Building in Banksia Grove We have keys - 31st March 2011 Re: Delta w/Aussie Living, Banksia Grove - Death by Pics :) 33May 25, 2010 5:42 pm sidewinder Yeah, we are down off Splendens Ave which is just off Joseph Banks Blv, titles were originally due June, but now July. How long did Waneroo Council Take to approve the plans can you remember? Only a few weeks I think - perhaps a month tops. Re: Delta w/Aussie Living, Banksia Grove - Death by Pics :) 34Jun 07, 2010 2:26 pm Hi we are building in Banksia Grove also We are Bentham Turn. Our block is right at the end of the street next to Kurrajong. Siteworks started last Friday. Our builder is Affordable Living. They took forever with our plans etc kept coming up with excuse after excuse... but eventually we got them. Shire only took about 4 weeks Affordable seem to be very slow with plans etc. It has taken nearly 5 months. I rang them last week as we were told that everything would start in about 4 weeks (which isn't good enough). I told them their timing is crap and something needs to be done about it. Also, we need to be in by early December as our lease runs out and the owners are coming back. Also, if we weren't in then i would be pitching a tent on the block ha ha. They told me siteworks would start around 12/6/10 and voila they started 4/6/10. Although i received a letter in the mail saying slab is due to be poured around 21/6/10 so will just have to wait and see.
