How is everything going for you, have you finished off everything BWH had to fix?

So electrical was before tiles, The appliances went in the day we got our keys. No there are still some minor things. They are too busy to get everything done. BW are building about seven new homes here in Haywards bay, the maintenance guys don't stop. http://verdehloguest.blogspot.com.au Bek and John (and our three kids) Building Verdelho Guest at Haywards Bay see page 167 for floorplan Our blog http://verdehloguest.blogspot.com.au Re: Who is building with Beechwood 9888May 03, 2015 8:02 am OK so I guess they will finish off the bathroom tiling then perhaps electrical, air con and a few other jobs then finish main tiling and painting - Just trying to work to when everything will get done so I can get a rough timeline...

We loved the functionality and space as we have a large family with myself, my husband, his parents (stay some times)and 3 Boys. We are so excited about our new home build, but feeling overwhelmed by the paper works and the delays in each and every step.

They have timber supports underneath shelves. (connected to wall) I have taken pictures in case you need it. The only difference could be that those robes are standard not extended as your plan is, having said that I still don't think you would find them in any other builders robes. NN ☺ Hi NN, Hmm thats interesting see i am sure we never seen this in the displays so my only answer is it must be because we extended the wardrobes but thought that would of been mentioned to us... if you could send me photos that would be great Ill check about the stacker door now for you also Deposit paid 09/02/14 Plans received 26/04/14 Land registered 01/08/2014 Settled on land 18/08/2014 Plans to council 20/08/2014 http://verdelhofourtwist.blogspot.com.au/ Re: Who is building with Beechwood 9894May 03, 2015 8:47 pm ourbayswater Hi, everyone I just would like to say thank you for posting all your experiences. I've been reading this forum since last November. I got lots of tips for our new home. We are building bayswater (twisted living/terrazza) at Fletcher in Newcastle. We are still awaiting for the Developer's approval. Hope I can share my views and experiences to all. Welcome!!

The delays and waiting are two things that definately will test your patience throughout the build. Your design looks great, but one thing that many people overlook with a two storey home is that, notice all the bedrooms are located on the top floor. I didn't notice if there was a laundry chute going from the top floor down to the laundry. This makes it alot easier to change the bed linen and soiled clothes from either hubby or kids. Otherwise carrying heavy baskets down stairs is not very pleasant. The chute is very easy to incorporate into the bulkhead and is something I would not do without, as we had one when renting a place before. If you already have one in the design great! If not I would highly recommend one! It is a life and back saver!!

The chute was one of our must have in the list while we were looking for double stories. But once we really like the BH's bayswater floor plan and it doesn't have a good spot (the internal walls in the ground floor and first floor do not align properly) for a shoot , so we decided to leave the chute option. There is a small improvement in our journey The developer got our plans today and waiting for their approvals.

Once you received your practical completion and walk through date roughly when did you receive the final invoice was it before the walk through? And how long after the walk through did you receive keys?? We got our final invoice 4 days before. Had to keep on there backs though. Then keep on the banks back so you can pick up final cheque. You can gets keys anytime as long as you have the cheque. Re: Who is building with Beechwood 9899May 05, 2015 11:21 pm kays_first_home Hey guys just wondering if anyone can help...
