Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Dec 02, 2010 1:43 pm Hi Everyone, My husband and i got married a year ago and we are building our house through Hermitage Homes in Truganina, VIC. This is our first home and building experience so everything’s pretty scary, but extremely exciting the same time! We left a deposit on a block back in Feb 2010, but due to issues with the land of sub division and me kicking up a huge stink about it, the developer offered us another block of land which is bigger, in a court and at the same price! Land got titled in July 2010. We have been going back and forth with the house plans since February 2010 and as of August 2010 we signed off on the building contracts! They finally started construction on 14 October 2010! and i am happy to say since then, they have completed the slab, frame, roof, bricks, electrical and are completing the plastering next week. I am so surprised with what they have done in 7 weeks. We are building a 3 bedroom home, 2 bathrooms, his/her WIR and double garage, it’s only a small home but perfect for us. We upgraded and changed quite a bit, 40mm ceserstone bench tops with waterfall edging, Under mount sink, all tap wear to Phoenix Lexi range, upgraded facade and feature bricks to front elevation, 700mm cook top/oven/range hood, tinted mirror kitchen splash back, double shower to ensuite, double basins to ensuite and more. We decided to do a few things ourselves after handover which includes, front and back concreting/landscaping, Bamboo floating floor and carpet. We could get these don’t at a much better price and better quality. Ill upload the house plans so you can have a look… thanks for reading.
