Bricking over half way done, and insulation and internal wiring seems to be coming along nicely Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Progress pictures can be viewed at http://s1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff460/jessiekay2/ or go to viewtopic.php?f=31&t=47145 Re: Building with Statesman Homes 27Jun 18, 2011 8:59 pm That's cool Jessie. I've had a big setback, myself. I got the soil report and the footing cost came in at quite a bit above the salesman's estimate, plus I need retaining walls. So I'm not sure if I'll be able to continue. Will have to wait til the retaining wall quotes come in. 23 Aug 2011: Land settlement 14 Sep 2011: Block levelled 20 Oct 2011: Slab 3 Nov 2011: Frame 10 Feb 2012: Handover http://s1098.photobucket.com/albums/g372/Dazzab6/ Re: Building with Statesman Homes 28Jun 19, 2011 3:44 pm Oh no!

A look around inside shows that they are getting ready to gyprock! YAY! It also looks like most of the internal wiring has been completed and the ducting for the aircon is in.

Awesome! DazzaB - I hope that your plans to build have worked out ok for you. Here's some more photos of the house for anyone that's interested. We've been peeking in the windows every weekend and there's always something new to look at.

Re: Building with Statesman Homes 33Jul 17, 2011 8:52 pm Hi I am building the joslin with statesman homes.. Going to have colour seletcions soon. Have no idea.. which colours etc.. any helpful hints would be great.. Re: Building with Statesman Homes 34Jul 30, 2011 6:03 pm The greys / chocolate / beige like what I've picked seems to be quite popular at the moment. Maybe you need to pick a theme and go with it? I wish I could get inside the house and take photos of the bathroom and kitchen etc properly to give some colour ideas. So here's what the place looks like as of today.... Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ It's been 3 months since the slab went down, so things have progressed very quickly. Walkthrough / pre-handover is scheduled for 15 August.

Goodluck with your colour selections. I was the only person with the consultant at the colour selection meeting, so it was easy to pick out what I wanted / liked without worrying about what someone else thought about my choices. The consultant was really helpful, so if you kind of have an idea of the colours you'd like for your new place, they will help you bring it all together. This is the first place I've ever build, and I found it useful to spend a bit of time at the selection centre before the actual appointment, maybe a few weeks beforehand, so you can see what's on offer Progress pictures can be viewed at http://s1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff460/jessiekay2/ or go to viewtopic.php?f=31&t=47145 Re: Building with Statesman Homes 36Aug 03, 2011 10:06 pm Hey JessieKay, Your house looks great! Love your bricks!! Your kitchen looks nice cant wait for a clearer pic How great that your build has gone so fast!! Re: Building with Statesman Homes 37Aug 05, 2011 11:01 pm Wow JessieKay, i cant believe how quickly your house has come together - its looking great. You must be moving in soon?? You must have the shortest thread on here covering start to finish DazzaB i am building in Klemzig and had massive site prep/footing costs ($70k). We had allowed an additional 40k, then got another variation of $18 once the soil report come in - a very big shock. can i ask what yours come in at? Re: Building with Statesman Homes 38Aug 09, 2011 8:27 am Good to see progress Jessie. I should be starting to build soon. Drayto, total site works came in at $51k plus I need to get retaining walls down both sides (est. $9k). Original estimate was only $29k. 23 Aug 2011: Land settlement 14 Sep 2011: Block levelled 20 Oct 2011: Slab 3 Nov 2011: Frame 10 Feb 2012: Handover http://s1098.photobucket.com/albums/g372/Dazzab6/ Re: Building with Statesman Homes 39Aug 11, 2011 10:26 pm I can certainly sympathise with you Dazza - we managed to scrape in, but had to forgo a lot of other things, but i can live with that, our choices seem to be coming together ok. Good luck with everything. Re: Building with Statesman Homes 40Aug 15, 2011 1:05 pm Wow Dazza - certainly a bit more then the original estimate! I hope everything goes as smoothly as what I have experienced with Statesman It sure doesn't feel that long ago that I was waiting for them to start... I guess it has only been a few months. Walkthrough (prehandover) was this morning.
