Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Building the McLaren by Dechellis @ Field River Estate T 21Oct 17, 2011 2:07 pm Thanks, yes we saw the WIP on the Wild Orchid and decided we had to have one, we swapped the back half of the house around to suit our block, as that side is the open side for us. So really only bathroom windows on dead side and formal living room, but we will put little water feature and garden out there. Re: Building the McLaren by Dechellis @ Field River Estate T 22Nov 18, 2011 3:59 pm Went to our block today to organize the weeds to be cut only to find two piles of rock, not very happy with who ever is using our block to dump their rubbish! Re: Building the McLaren by Dechellis @ Field River Estate T 23Nov 18, 2011 4:06 pm that's so rude!! Wait till you get a skip - you won't believe what your neighbours will put in it!! 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 the McLaren by Dechellis @ Field River Estate T 24Nov 19, 2011 10:15 am We have large moss rocks piled on the 2 vancant blocks either side of us waiting to be put on the 2 houses on 2 other houses who are retaining their rear yard. I dont mind people using a spare/unbuilt block AS LONG as they ask permission and its not just a rubbish dump. Is it just scrap rock or boulders? Hows it all going btw? Re: Building the McLaren by Dechellis @ Field River Estate T 25Nov 19, 2011 11:02 am It's scrap rock , looks to me like someone's builder has excavated and decided its cheaper to dump there! Going well, think our plans are with the encumbrance now or will be by next week, and hopefully then off to council before Xmas. Re: Building the McLaren by Dechellis @ Field River Estate T 26Nov 24, 2011 10:21 am So our plans are with encumbrance and council so hopefully we see approval this side of Xmas! Re: Building the McLaren by Dechellis @ Field River Estate T 27Nov 24, 2011 10:28 am Nat - did you know you can check on progress by going onto the council website - are you with Onkaparinga Council?

Re: Building the McLaren by Dechellis @ Field River Estate T 28Nov 24, 2011 10:30 am Oh, we're Marion council but maybe they have something similar. I'll have a look! Thanks annette Re: Building the McLaren by Dechellis @ Field River Estate T 29Nov 24, 2011 10:48 am Cats01 ...... no news on the down lights as yet lol Just passin' saw your light on...Thought I'd drop in and say G'Day So as not to hijack Mclaren's thread too much.......What about your downlights ?? This is something we're going to have to find out a lot about, and in a short time methinks !! Seems downlights everywhere are the go now, what do I need to know ?? Cheers, P_D . Block settled 07 June 2011 Our little piece of the Interwebs on HomeOne....... viewtopic.php?f=31&t=48577&start=0 Re: Building the McLaren by Dechellis @ Field River Estate T 30Nov 24, 2011 12:34 pm Oh just wanting our downlights included in the price as they used to be but are not now ! In the display there is approx 60 of them . And at around $100 each installed they're not cheap. Re: Building the McLaren by Dechellis @ Field River Estate T 31Nov 24, 2011 1:48 pm that happened to us, but just with one, over the vanity. they tried to charge us, but i looked back thru all my paperwork and it was there. good luck Re: Building the McLaren by Dechellis @ Field River Estate T 32Nov 24, 2011 9:42 pm Hi Cats01, your plan looks great. We're building a custom Dechellis design at Edwardstown. So far they've been great. The process has taken longer than normal due to bank holdups, but site scrape finally happened today. Look forward to watching your progress... and the pics!

Re: Building the McLaren by Dechellis @ Field River Estate T 33Nov 25, 2011 6:56 am Oh cool build2012, I used to live down there years ago! I will have to follow your build too:) Re: Building the McLaren by Dechellis @ Field River Estate T 34Nov 25, 2011 10:33 am Good luck with your downlights - hopefully the builder will come around. Just keep persisting and they should come to the party. After all, that is only a small concession for them to make as it doesn't cost them $100 per downlight but makes you a much happier customer. Fingers crossed council will approve your plans quickly. Should be done well before X-mas if there aren't any major problems with it.

Apparently encumbrnace has recieved lots of plans recently, I guess because our 24 month building limit is up mid next year so everyone is getting organised. And we got some downlights included, about 34 out of 60 so a bit of a win! Re: Building the McLaren by Dechellis @ Field River Estate T 36Dec 19, 2011 1:55 pm For those in the estate, how did you decide on garden designs, more specifically plants that suit the area??? Re: Building the McLaren by Dechellis @ Field River Estate T 37Jan 16, 2012 11:57 am So our plans are with council, and currently at the "1st Additioanl Info" stage. Apparently the planning dept has a target date of 25th Jan, not sure how strict they are in meeting their deadlines though. For people who built with Dechellis, how long once council approval was recieved did you do colour selections and sign contracts? Re: Building the McLaren by Dechellis @ Field River Estate T 38Jan 16, 2012 12:46 pm Hi Nat, I just checked and our council approval was on 19 Jan - our final selections meeting and contract sign off was 24 Jan. Hope that helps! 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 the McLaren by Dechellis @ Field River Estate T 39Jan 16, 2012 12:50 pm Oh wow, that is fast, I was thinking it could be a bit longer. Virginia is away till 1st or 2nd of Feb anyway so no great hurry I guess. Re: Building the McLaren by Dechellis @ Field River Estate T 40Jan 16, 2012 12:53 pm The final selections meeting was with Emma at their offices - we didn't see Virginia once we had signed the contract guide. They will send you a letter with the date of your appointment and the list of suppliers you need to visit before the meeting.
