Received final invoice, now waiting on the bank & handover on thurs ..yay finally!! How exciting. We have our PCI on the 21st. Did you organise an pre-handover inspection from a separate business at all? yes it's exciting now, wow we're so close! can't believe it's taken us over 2 1/2yrs since putting a deposit on our unregistered land! no I haven't bothered...I'm happy overall with the house, just a few things that need to be sorted out, hoping for an easy fix at handover.

Hi braddy We're waiting for our first draft plan and we even haven't done our colour selection as well.... Is that how it is?

However we finally got our contract / colour appointment 21/11 day before we leave for our cruise. Our DA was conditioned to the hilt by council. Thankfully Scott from the Shoalhaven office has been working hard in the background to get us in before we left. Hopefully by the time we get back they have started building now it's time to sit back relax and enjoy the build after 9 months of ping pong Re: Who is building with Beechwood 13778Nov 10, 2016 7:24 pm Tom2016 What a bumpy ride so far.

Been reading this thread for, well, seems like forever. We're building a Merlot Twist twist. Getting through the tender process & looking at colours etc. Did anyone visit the head office before their colour selection was booked in just to get some ideas? Cheers Mark I didnt but thats a great idea. OK, so we went in today to get some ideas. Really good to go look through some stuff & get some colour ideas. One thing though, the taps etc, didn't seem to be that big range. We're there others available or did anyone have other ideas of what taps etc to get? We have half turn taps now & were thinking the same or flick mix. Only a couple available. Also interior door handles, I'd seen some here I liked, they didn't seem to be available. Re: Who is building with Beechwood 13780Nov 10, 2016 7:51 pm Jonesy maybe look at going with standard taps & changing them after handover, there's so many nice ones (and cheaper) online! Handover went really well!! Our usual SS is on holidays so his boss took us through. So pleased with our home, just a few things to fix up. ..one downlight, a sml hole under a gas cover, internal garage door needs to be adjusted & some paint touchups...but really happy overall! Super impressed with our bank too, the valuer walked through while we were there & I only gave them the final invoice 2 days ago! Now we wait for the cheque & keys then it's all ours!! go upvc window frames ensure insulation under colorbond. not just sarking, lighter color roof also not sure if you have seen this viewtopic.php?t=5823 last couple of pages… 4 111068 Even if it's not being sub-divided and you want to keep it as Torrens title, you will still need to talk to a town planner or Council themselves, to see if they will allow… 1 11231 |
