Hi Cookiemonster,
We are building the Balmain - which is a slightly scaled down version of the Waterford/Sacramento - it was designed to comply with the developer specifications of the new estate we are building in in South-West Sydney.
We signed our contract in late July, but the plans were only lodged with council last week. We had a few little 'hiccups' along the way with the D.A. drawings, facade details and building position & cut that needed to ironed out prior to submission. Fingers crossed for a smooth passage through council as we would LOVE to have some sort of start on the house before the end of the year.
As for the wardrobes, we built 13 years ago with Beechwood and weren't happy with the quality of the wardrobes, so I just had them leave the space and I got the whole thing done after handover. I still haven't decided whether to leave the doors or not this time - we have upgraded the doors but maybe we should leave it all until after again too.
