Hi All!
Decided to start a build thread because I don't think I've ever seen a Canberra one from my limited browsing!
Quick intro, my name is Johnny, 31years old, married with a 19 month old boy,building a house to up-size, cause we have another one due in January 2013
Contract signed : September 2011
Land settled: February 2012
Land Cut: March 2012
Nearly lockup :August 2012
Facebrick: old colonial balmain blend
Orb color: Shoal Gray
Here is the plot back in March 2012
Site cut done. We have a 2 meter slope from back to front, so decided on a split. Worked out well, as we wanted a split level anyway

The land in the area really only just settled mid February from memory. Houses starting to go up!
