Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jan 16, 2011 11:19 pm and was wondering if anyone could tell me how long the shire approval part of the process took? Also, did anyone have any hassles with the covenants and have to change anything? We're building the Floreat with Scott Park Homes and are thrilled with our CLO (no names but she's in the display home out there) but not so thrilled with how long everything is taking through drafting. We still haven't got our preliminary plans and we put our final sketches in about 11 weeks ago. Hubby is well and truly over the whole thing already!! Oh well, at least it will be worth it in the end .. we hope!!

That was back in March last year. We put a shed on the property which was outside of the building envelope so it actually took a little longer for that to come through and of course we had to pay an extra $350.00 but it was pretty straight forward. The main thing is to follow the instructions they give you and you can't go wrong. I know how frustating things can be - we are at lock up and waiting for all unfinished stuff to get done. Hope this helps. Re: Building in The Glades, Byford ... 3Jan 19, 2011 9:59 pm Thanks ruka2007. Good to know that the horror stories we've heard of things taking four and five months to go through aren't necessarily true. Good luck with getting all your bits and pieces done. Hope it's everything you wanted!!
