Amazing how quickly prices changed. We managed to nab a 559m2 block too backing onto trees The price difference and block size is pretty different in Stage 7 & Stage 8 compared to Stage 5, 6 etc. I think Stage 9 is going to have larger blocks, so the price difference is possibly due to Stage 7/8 being closer to the future lake which starts construction later next year. Good to see another person on h1 who is building with Clarendon in Capestone. Only other person I know of in Capestone on here is building with Coral, also in Markwell. You must be getting closed to being finished since you are in Stage 5. How have you found your build with Clarendon and how do you find your SS? I assume we are going to end up with the same SS whom I think name starts with D from memory. Yeah i agree about the block sizes. Im happy to find another capestone build too! Haha i still think we will be in walking distance to the lake so im very happy with where i got a block. We are currently at wet area tiling. Im going for a look this afternoon and hopefully will see a start. They laid the screed two days ago. Yes i have SS d. He is a nice guy just very absent in the process. No meet and greet at the start or even a call we just happen to bump into him on site and requested a walk through and thats the most we have had to do with him Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 10376Aug 27, 2015 10:54 am SandD42 Yeah i agree about the block sizes.

Which had to be zero-lot as well. I thought generally you got a meet at the start but fair enough. I guess as long as he is accessible when you request a walk through then fair enough. Have you had any issues with your build so far? Have you got a timeline for your build just to get an idea? Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 10377Aug 27, 2015 11:10 am Little bit of a vent from us, we get a weekly update that i need to ask for in which more often than not the CSC is less than unhelpful and replies with "i dont know" to most questions we have. she says she will follow it up with the SS and he very rarely replies. As we are interstate it makes the whole process beyond frustrating! would be great if we could pop by the build and see the progress for ourselves. On a positive note, the scaffolding is apparently down, painters are onsite now and will be until mid next week, which is when the tiling is due to start, Can not wait to see how the house looks now that all the rendering is completed, scaffold is removed and kitchen/vanities are done hopefully our great nosey neighbours or SS will send through some photos for us soon.

You'd think and meet and greet would be standard but oh well! He runs a good site. The build has gone pretty smooth so far. Major hick ups included the concrete slab being longer than it was suppose to be at our facade so our parapet just became a brick thicker so happy days. Also a big dint in the gutter from the scafolding that they have repaired without us saying anything yet. Time frame... land reg december 18th Soil test jan 3rd HIA signed feb 10th In council feb 25th Site scraped may 7th Wet area tiling this week august 24th -28th Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 10379Aug 27, 2015 1:29 pm We have a handover date!!!!! October 1st at 9am... So still 5 weeks away but we have so much on it will fly and its in the middle of the school holidays so that will keep us busy also. Excited!!!! Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 10380Aug 27, 2015 2:03 pm Argh just got a phone call from my CSC (who has not answered any of my calls mind you). They have stuffed up our plans and now we can't extend our alfresco due to cut/fill ratios and have to move our raintank because they put the proposed retaining wall in the wrong spot. Now we have our tank smack bang in the middle of the two windows of our family room wall and you will be able to see the tank through both windows as it only *just* fits. I try ringing the CSC back to offer alternates and surprise surprise she doesn't answer. Lets see if she bothers answering my email! It is Genneral stairs, but they won't deal with anyone off the street. They will only work with clients of project home builders. I tried to but some of these exact… 3 7957 The two 15mm holes are obviously not compliant. The Dept of Fair Trading would love to see this one! Do the gutters pool water after it stops raining? Although it's… 4 8368 I do enjoy the drama:-D In his latest two videos he has started bringing security guards to site, I am waiting for the punch on to begin lol 6 46234 |
