Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jan 30, 2008 9:40 am Hello
Just thought I would post to say something positive about He3ley, well at least so far. We got our site costs yesterday and they are about $14k and we are building on a slight slope. We are very pleased though we weren't sure if we should have tried to negotiate it down (too late now as it's signed). We have been very pleased with everything so far and hope that this continues when we start to build which they say will be in 10 weeks time. We are building on the Ridge in Doreen.

Glad to hear we are also just starting the process of building the Sutton. Have sold house but have to wait until June for land to be developed. What facade did you go for? Waiting for block Heritage Springs Re: He3ley - Sutton - Site Costs 3Jan 30, 2008 9:58 pm Hi Flew,
Sutton is a nice house. We also liked it before. Hope to see your building progress here... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Built the Nevada 42 Next project - landscaping!

Are any of you building a sutton too. What facade are you having? I will keep the site updated on the progress of the build. I think it is nice for other people to know how long things take.

Will be very interested to see your progress. When is your construction start date? Our land is not due to be titled until May so we will start building as soon as possible after that. Great to finally see someone on this forum building the same house that we love. Good luck Rod Waiting for block Heritage Springs Sutt@n 7Jan 31, 2008 9:07 am Sorry Flew,
Didnt see in your first post 10 weeks til start. Will fly by. Rod Waiting for block Heritage Springs Sutton Facade 8Feb 13, 2008 9:59 am Hi Flew,
Well after many many sleepness nights we finally picked our facade. We have gone for the Dalziel (Option 1 due to budget constraints). Now our only dilema is decision re the size of the garage. We originally were going for the Double plus option which gives about 7.6m width and we thought than 1.6m aprox space next to garage but we incorrectly thought the gap to other side fence is 1.2m but that is for single storey now know it is 1.8m which means we are left with a 1m gap. Not sure what to do as we had planned on putting bins and a clothes line next to garage but am worried 6m standard width will end up with kids denting doors on cars as they sling doors open. Not long til you start building now is it still on track for mid April start?

Rod Rod, we went the double plus and added a further 1.2m on top of that (out to the boundary), we were 40cm short of going a triple garage...due to developers guidelines You wont regret the extra space in the garage, money well spent now IMO. Sutton Garage 10Feb 13, 2008 12:09 pm Thanks, yes I thought about extending to the boundary but as our house has eaves there would be a wasted space as can't have building on property boundary and hang eaves over fence. If not for eaves I would like to do very similar to you except ours would be double plus and 1m. Problem is in shrinking the garage lose the rear roller door. However we would have access down the side 2.6m. Might split difference and add just .5m to stanfdard still leaving enough room down the side to drive through.
Unrelated question how do you do the quote insert like your previous post? Thanks Rod Waiting for block Heritage Springs Re: He3ley - Sutton - Site Costs 11Feb 13, 2008 12:58 pm Rod, don't discount the fact that you CAN"T have your house on the boundary, if you want to. We changed the gutter profile on our garage as shown below. The front has eaves but the gutter is inset to line up with the brickwork.
Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ There are box gutter configurations available too. IF you really want it, there are options available to you, you just need to ask....

Re: He3ley - Sutton - Site Costs 14Feb 13, 2008 1:16 pm kiwi056 That looks quite a cut next to your garage Phoenix! I hope they are going to do some retaining. I know, but there is about .5m of dirt still there and the cut is about the same in height. Their house/garage is not going on the boundary but that cut runs along the length of our boundary.... They will have to do something...i would hope...we'll find out soon enough.

Think of the positives, you are higher than them, and more than likely they’ll cop your run off, not the other way around. I am not sure whether Perth has its own way of doing things in regards to this. Most of Perth has class A (sandy soil), except for some areas near rivers or hills. 2 13098 Is anyone building with Mojo and have a recent site cost tender 0 15952 Henley should give you some indication of site costs.
