Who's building with Clarendon??

With the lease I would contact the leasing agent and try to be on a month to month? I haven’t had this experience. We had 2 weeks to spare lol. Pretty close

They charged around $8,000 extra for screw piers

After signing the tender with Clarendon in Feb 2017, we have now been handed over to construction!! (delays were cos of our land registration so Clarendon's delays suited us fine).

Just wondering how long did it take from the time when you were told you were going off to construction to when your slab was poured? I'm not sure when "Day 1" is supposed to start heh. I'll hopefully be updating my blog more frequently now that we are in the build process!

Alright the SM finally answered our call and we been told that the PCI will be in 1st week of April - super stoked!

2 weeks for us still slab is poured followed by 1st progress billing. Congrats!

Thanks Wingzee! Congrats on PCI can't wait to see more photos and updates from you

We now have the cabinets & garage door! Counting down to handover.

Nice! Wingzee which suburb are you in and was it a KDR?

North Kellyville. It’s a new build. Been 9 months!

Cool. Very close now

That's similar to ours! I think we started around the same time.

We are building in Leppington and just had our bathrooms tiled and grouted. Cabinets installed but no garage door. This week they just finished a coat of paint.

wingzee can i see some more pics? and how long has your build taken to date?

Nice! Wingzee - do you remember how much your pull-out spice rack cost? Would love to add it in...

Is yours a Oceanside 36 too? Have you been given a handover date yet? Our bathrooms supposed to be tiled this week!

That’s pretty much what we took! Any particular photos you’re after?

That costs us $750

wow.. your upgrade for the tiles is considered cheap, but the rest are expensive.

My tile upgrade cost me about 15K.

You must have chosen rectified tiles, they're expensive. We just chose cheapest 600x600

The rest does seem expensive but I had external quotes that we gave to our lender. Looking at these, we got more stuff than we would've got if done after handover so just decided to do it with them and have everything ready when we move in.
