Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Dec 23, 2009 10:07 am Hello Everyone, I thought I’d start this thread for anyone who is building with DFH. We are building the Flinders 301 in the western suburbs of Melbourne and we signed last night. YAY! There are a few variations we are making to the contact but as soon as that is done we are all good to go. Having said that, I think we have a lot of waiting and nothing happening ahead of us, our SS said we have a few months before they start our site. Our experience thus fair has been wonderful. Our SS has been more than happy to answer any question we have and she has gone out of her way, meeting us after hours to get our contracts done in time for the high FHOG. I will post the progress of our build as we go along. No pics now though, it’s just dirt at the moment and I’m sure we have all seen lots of that lately.

It's a big step to take but a worthwhile one. Which estate are you going to build in? We have already built 3 houses. This one will be our 4th. We are looking to build with DFH. We were going to build the Cosgrove 291 but have changed to the Charlton 291 due to the orientation of our block. We have a few variations to get through first and will probably sign in Jan or Feb. Our land is not titled till March/April at present so not in a big hurry. A balanced diet is chocolate in both hands.

Waiting till DFH reopens on the 2nd of Jan to everything moving Re: Dennis Family Homes Vic 4Jan 12, 2010 9:07 am Hey everyone, Just thought I’d give a quick update. Dennis Family call us and our colour appointment is in Feb. YAY! They have said they will begin site around 6 week after that so perhaps the build will start mid March. We have to prepare so we are going to look at bricks and tiles this Saturday. Should be fun! We have such big decisions to make and we have no idea where to start. Help! Anyone got colour suggestions??

We are going with a Taupe/grey tonings for internal and external. Bricks and rood to tone with the colours. Hopefully with some splashes of colour thrown in. I assume you will be picking from Haymes colours. We are using the Polar Bear to Keystone range of tones. Check out their colours on here. Also good idea when you can to pick up their colour wheels and put them together to get your combinations looking right.
