Browse Forums Building A New House Henley Monaco Q1 Nouveau Land - Land settled! Site start Jan 21Nov 28, 2011 3:22 pm That's very unthoughtful thing to do!
Cheers I remember you posted it somewhere and pretty much had same as mine. Oh well it's too late now. They must work to an overall profit margin so they add at bit here and there. I don't have as many upgrades as your house. No date yet. Land settlement is 5th dec so maybe permit afew weeks after that. I'm guessing late jan early feb. Henley Monaco Q1 Nouveau Casiana Grove Approved! 22Nov 28, 2011 10:24 pm Yeah I checked my tender and my BAL was 12.5 same as you. Agreed, they must need to meet a certain margin and add in costs here and there... They did give us $3,000 towards Cosham and we added a few extras...might as well since we have no kids. We got our finance today so fingers crossed we see something this week or next...Henley have been on the brokers back so that's all they must be waiting for... Had FH ring me...there is a PD house going up across the road and they dumped all their concrete left over from the slab!!!! >.< he left the SS a lovely voicemail Good luck with settlement! I hope the rain on Saturday didn't delay --- I am here: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=-37.715921,145.015558 Re: Henley Monaco Q1 Nouveau Casiana Grove Approved! 23Nov 29, 2011 9:43 pm Can rain delay settlement? Lol Our conveyancer has been slack with keeping us informed or giving us information on what to do. Settlement next Monday and all we got was a letter to say the date and that we need to organize finance. Doesn't say what aspect. I'm just going to let the settlement happen. I've already signed the loan offer contract with Westpac. Rang her on Friday. She goes onces settlement is book on Monday(yesterday) she will update me on details. No emails or call today. Hmmm Re: Henley Monaco Q1 Nouveau Casiana Grove Approved! 24Dec 01, 2011 8:34 am hahaha sorry, I was thinking the Title of the block, my bad...then yes that can delay with rain >.< Have you heard anything? they will call you after they settle...hopefully Re: Henley Monaco Q1 Nouveau Casiana Grove Approved! 27Dec 06, 2011 8:52 pm Hi Mak! Yup Our land settled on Monday as scheduled! Woooohoooooo Dropped by block yesterday and both my block and neighbours have soil test done. I emailed my admin and confirmed we should start in early Jan. we are waiting for permits now. Re: Henley Monaco Q1 Nouveau Casiana Grove Land settled 28Dec 07, 2011 8:57 pm Just found out this morning that our garage wall height is above the 3m average so we need to submit a dispensation to council. Our Henley administrator says most gets approved so fingers crossed! I wonder if anyone else on my stage has same issue? The fall is pretty much same with other lots. Our land has a fall of about 480mm from back to front. Re: Henley Monaco Q1 Nouveau Casiana Grove Land settled 29Dec 08, 2011 8:12 am Congratulations on the settlement! hmmmm i haven't had this issue. Our fall is mostly at the back of the block...1.4m from front to back, wish it was 480!!! we have a cut site!! Re: Henley Monaco Q1 Nouveau Casiana Grove Land settled 30Dec 26, 2011 12:59 pm Congrats Mak!! I got bored one day so decided to ring up Austral to get an address of the bricks I have chosen for our house. This is first time I have seen them on a finished house and man I so glad I have chosen them. I love the bits of grey and browns. Here are some pics of our chosen bricks on a display house. Taken by my iphone 4.

We now have our building permits! Phew I was worried about our dispensation not going through cause of garage wall height being 3.28m high. Henley's construction team will be back from holidays on Monday so here's hoping we will have site start soon! Its getting really exciting now because its so close to the start of our build. Re: Henley Monaco Q1 Nouveau Casiana Grove - Cranbourne West 35Jan 18, 2012 11:02 am Yes our SS contacted me yesterday! Seemed like a nice fella over the phone. He said site scrape within a week or two and slab down around 1st Feb! Yay! From time SS called you to time site scrape was about same for you? Also when was your first onsite meeting with SS? I havn't had a call from our CSC yet also. I went to block today and notice our neighbours block had their site scrape done. Me so jealous haha. Re: Henley Monaco Q1 Nouveau Casiana Grove - Cranbourne West 36Jan 18, 2012 1:52 pm i haven't even received a call from our SS!!! do they call off blocked numbers? i think i need to start answering them Our CSC was the one who rang and said that the SS would go out the week we started to do a setup and stuff...that was a monday...by the wednesday we had a scrape and by the following week piping was complete...that was completed 2 weeks before Christmas...so we thought a slab would be down but it wasn't... Slab was done last week and frame went up yesterday and roof went up today!!! still waiting on a call from our SS...maybe I should email my CSC?? roof went up today and i faxed over payment for the slab stage...looks like it'll be 2 invoices paid within a week of each other Re: Henley Monaco Q1 Nouveau Casiana Grove Land settled 38Jan 18, 2012 10:07 pm investa Just found out this morning that our garage wall height is above the 3m average so we need to submit a dispensation to council.

It is great to hear that one more neighbor is coming thrue! Finally! We had only 4-5 days between settlement and site scrape. We had no on site meetings at all before the start, just once in the office. We had only 3-4 meetings with SS at all. And we are about to be done!
