Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Oct 02, 2010 9:59 pm Just starting our first home build ever and probably be the last Have had heaps of trouble with the weather but everything has started to move forward. We decided to build with Beechwood Homes as they have just started building in the Central West of NSW. Will try and add pictures as we go.

I want gentle beige which is a colour between white and cream. yours look nice, I hope mine look as good. Re: new home builder - Beechwood Homes 7Jan 06, 2011 7:55 am Looks great Kathy, Love the kitchen. Did you get the ceaserstone upgrade? and not go with it? although our kitchen will be slightly different in layout its great to see it all come together. love the tank - Massive!!! love the bathroom tiles too - we are yet to choose our tiles. Our handles are very similar, we upgraded also, but i dont think we paid that much, your must have been from the platnuim range, I think ours were from the essential range.

No we didn't get the upgrade, when we signed up our house only had the living extras not the next one up and as it was going to be $4,500 for the ceasarstone so we went for the cheaper option. That $4,500 will pay for our tiler to lay the 600mm x 600mm tiles. just starting Lake View Lodge - Beechwood deposit 17/08/09 Council April 10 signed contract 11/06 earthworks started 9/07 slab completed 8/09/10 Frames 21/09/10 bricking finished 13/10/10 roof 22/10/10 Gyprock 22/11/10 Tiles bathroom 21/12/10 Kitchen in 21/12/10 Painting 09/02/11 handover 11/03/11 We are in 15/03/11!!!!!!!! http://kathdom.blogspot.com/ Re: new home builder - Beechwood Homes 10Jan 06, 2011 8:45 am Bugger Kathy, we got the ceaserstone/glass splashback upgrade. nice bonus for us.

The septic goes in on Wednesday.....weather looking promising Amanada, have you heard about a start date yet The start of a new year and everyones houses will be completed by the end Sorry Kathy, I didnt see thin until just now NO \Bloody Bank is still to send Beechwood the Cert to commence - Ive had enough of banks really I just have to wait my turn - meanwhile Beechwood is on the phone everyday to me letting me know im falling further down the line - its so annoying as the builder isnt to blame - they should be sending it to the builder tomorrow. I would say start date will be in about 2 weeks meanwhile - we have over 40t of dirt dumped at the block - for the driveway to be laid this weekend - we are going to lay blue metal over it once the build has finished and maybe if there are funds left over we will get concrete layed. Hows the build going Kathy? Any more photos? Got a PCI date?

We can't move in once they have handover as we need to get the tiles and carpet laid, we are doing that ourselves as the range at Beechwood was not what we wanted. Should be about 2 weeks after the handover...we think middle of March, but you never know. But everything is going slow...painter started last Thursday but no show yesterday. The weather is great for painting, can't see why he hasn't shown up.......send more emails to SS???? Keep on to the bank, just keep ringing and give them a headache......it does work I also had the bank managers email address and sent her an email everyday until I had it.....only took a week Anyway its very hot down here 36 degrees yesterday and supposed to be the same today. Where is that painter..... just starting Lake View Lodge - Beechwood deposit 17/08/09 Council April 10 signed contract 11/06 earthworks started 9/07 slab completed 8/09/10 Frames 21/09/10 bricking finished 13/10/10 roof 22/10/10 Gyprock 22/11/10 Tiles bathroom 21/12/10 Kitchen in 21/12/10 Painting 09/02/11 handover 11/03/11 We are in 15/03/11!!!!!!!! http://kathdom.blogspot.com/ Re: new home builder - Beechwood Homes 19Feb 01, 2011 10:33 pm Beechwood got the letter today...woohoo - Our Acreage Build The Lakeview Lodge - Beechwood Homes 01/04/10 YES 2010 - Deposit paid 23/09 - PCI CANCELLED 28/09 - PCI - will it happen.-18 months later 07/10/11 - ITS OURS..WOOHOO Re: new home builder - Beechwood Homes 20Feb 02, 2011 2:17 pm Its all a go now just starting Lake View Lodge - Beechwood deposit 17/08/09 Council April 10 signed contract 11/06 earthworks started 9/07 slab completed 8/09/10 Frames 21/09/10 bricking finished 13/10/10 roof 22/10/10 Gyprock 22/11/10 Tiles bathroom 21/12/10 Kitchen in 21/12/10 Painting 09/02/11 handover 11/03/11 We are in 15/03/11!!!!!!!! http://kathdom.blogspot.com/ We already paid for somfy motors for the blinds.
