I've gained so much information from this forum and really grateful that there are people who are so willing to share the information gained! We have signed a contract with DAH a few months ago and are still waiting for our building plans to get things going...! Hoping that this will be soon-ish - meanwhile will try and read up on more information! Am realizing very quickly that there are so many things to know/read and decide on! Re: Anyone building with Dale Alcock or recently built 1691Jun 25, 2012 5:52 pm Hi Crystarr I'm very excited to hear you are building with Dale Alcock Homes, although I'm sorry to hear you are waiting on your building plans. I can't tell from your post whether or not you know the reason why you are still waiting on your plans? Would you like to private message me with your details and I can look into it for you? Best regards, Renee. Dale Alcock Homes. We love building.

I'm not sure if that was a realistic timeframe - but we have had e-mail contact from our Sales Rep once during that time that it should be out soon, so we are still waiting. Re: Anyone building with Dale Alcock or recently built 1693Jun 25, 2012 6:17 pm Hi Crystarr Thanks for your message. It's difficult to say as lots of things can affect when the building plans are ready and some of those things we unfortunately don't have control over like Shire approvals for example. You're very welcome to private message me with your job number and I can look into what it is exactly for you. In the meantime I'm glad to hear you're finding out lots on the forum! Feel free to let me know if there are any other questions you have too. Best regards, Renee. Dale Alcock Homes. We love building.

Regding Electricals, we should have called the DAH Emergency #. PPl rememeber to have these numbers handy Re: Anyone building with Dale Alcock or recently built 1696Aug 26, 2012 5:43 pm We had to get Jason's out to fix the seals in the front awning windows again last week, for the second time. Bed 2 has a large window with awnings either side of a fixed pane. Water flooded in through the bottom of the fixed pane and wet the carpet The guy from Jason said he did a "fishtank seal" or something... sealed it all with silicone and then the black seal.... or something like that? I had a tea towel folded lengthways sitting on the sill to catch the water.. it was sopping wet the next morning. Same as Bed 3, but it's not as bad in there as it is a bit more protected as the room sits back a bit (both windows are west facing, so really cop the winter elements). Hopefully both windows will be ok now. Must remember to borrow dad's ladder to check the gutter and downpipes on the portico. There is one on either side, but the left one (looking into the house) gushes out whilst not even a drip comes out of the right one. Hope all of your builds are going well, and those who have moved in are doing ok! Oceanic with Nautilus upgrades. Handover 8 September 2010 Re: Anyone building with Dale Alcock or recently built 1697Aug 29, 2012 9:57 am Pre-inspection booked for next Monday with keys on 28th sept. Have booked an independent building inspector as I have no idea what I would be looking for. Hopefully not too much that will need rectifying Re: Anyone building with Dale Alcock or recently built 1698Sep 07, 2012 1:00 pm Hi everyone, just wondering if DAH has asked for bank statements from anyone to 'prove' that we have sufficient funds for the build ON TOP OF the approval received from the bank? It just seems so unusual that builders can ask for such private information and seeing that we are the clients!!! Anyone building with Dale Alcock or recently built 1699Sep 07, 2012 1:39 pm If you are paying part cash for your build then I think it's only reasonable for the builder to require some sort of proof that you have the funds available to pay for it. I don't really see it as an invasion of privacy - you either have the money or you don't. There is no need for a transaction history so it's not like they will see anything more than an account balance. But on the other hand, I don't see why anyone would enter into a contract stating cash if they didn't actually have the funds available. Would be kinda pointless.

We were told that if our prestart changes came to more than $5,000 we would have to show them we had the money as the extra was not included in the contract or the finance approval. I don't think its an invasion of privacy either, the builder needs to know they will be paid at the end of the build. Some builders even make you pay for your prestart amounts within a few days of prestart.
