We are also waiting on Council, they have just given us planning approval and we are expecting building approval next week. We have found Stellar to be ok to deal with so far but I dont want to praise them to much until they have given us the final price and we see what their project management skills are like in delivering a product to meet our high expectations. We also based our home on the Mirage so I would be keen to know what changes you may have made. We are demolishing and rebuilding in the Campbelltown Council Area. the Mirage on display is a total of 288 sq m - ours is 315..... we enlarged the garage to a 7m wide x 6m deep and made bedrooms 2,3 and study metre longer and fractionally wider.... our kitchen is located in what is the family room in their display home (also extended our a metre) .... I have no idea on how to upload our plans lol.... pm me with your email address and I can email to you..... we up-specced a lot of things as this is our final house (hopefully lol) and we no longer have little kids which means 2 pac kitchen etc is no longer a worry in respect to kiddy damage.... would love to hear and see what you guys are doing.... Re: Building Dream Home with Stellar Homes, SA 15Nov 23, 2011 8:33 am Look forward to seeing your pics - instructions on how to post pics are here .. viewtopic.php?f=6&t=42169 For info on our build: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=43093 Built the McLaren by Dechellis - slab down 22 Feb - handover 30 Aug 2011 - and gardens finished 9 Dec 2012!! Re: Building Dream Home with Stellar Homes, SA 16Nov 25, 2011 10:26 pm here is a video of our design...i obviously have too much time on my hands. excuse the solar panel I left on the front lawn http://youtu.be/IV0v5-S24a0 Re: Building Dream Home with Stellar Homes, SA 17Nov 25, 2011 10:44 pm We loved the split level as seen at blackwood but our block doesnt have the fall and my wornout knees are pretty happy about that. This is our first build attempt and i hope i haven't bitten off too much. We have followed your lead and have a few upgrades as well, including 3 metre ceilings, two pack, bulkhead over the kitchen, and kubic taps from reece. We also have a nice essastone benchtop with waterfall edges and we are going handleless on all kitchen cupboards. Louise has picked out a nice spa as well http://www.reece.com.au/bathrooms/products/1792822 Not that the move i linked in my last post is exact in dimensions but some finishes are hard to virtualise. Note that being a fanatical Carlton fan that is juddy on the proposed 65 inch tv in the family room. Re: Building Dream Home with Stellar Homes, SA 18Nov 26, 2011 10:47 am Scorch, you are planning a similar kitchen/ family room / outdoor area to what we are building. It should work well.

Re: Building Dream Home with Stellar Homes, SA 20Nov 30, 2011 7:39 pm you just need an apple mac and 100 hours of tinker time and you could sit in your virtual lounge room as well Note that I am a veteran IT engineer but this was my first foray into both apple and design, it has been quite fun although I expect the execution to be much more difficult. I plan to take virtual photos of each room and give hem to the contractors so they have an idea of what we are thinking J Ask for references and speak to them. If they are defensive or try to avoid the request, walk. 1 76483 I would never build with Fowler homes. I built with them in 2021 and till date maintenance issues are pending.
