Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Greenvale Gardens, Greenvale VIC - Boutique Homes 151Jun 02, 2014 5:04 pm Hello, We are using Melbourne Fence Company in South Morang with our fences due to start tomorrow! So while I cannot comment on the workmanship yet, thus far the company director Alex has been great to deal with and is provides excellent customer service and communication. I found his quote to be mid-range as well, not the cheapest but certainly not the most expensive either.

After I couldn't find my address on their website, I called Opticomm 4 weeks ago and after following up with them 3 times for an answer I was told yesterday that it is yet to be designed for our area with no date planned for this to occur. While they have installed the relevant cabling for all other streets on this side of the estate, it seems they forgot Blueberry! I have spoken to my builder who has suggested the following - "The best way to speed up the process of getting Opticomm to install the infrastructure is to get the neighbors to work together and approach Opticomm as a group, I have heard a couple of times that this may speed up the process of them installing the fibre" So I am hoping anyone else who is building on Blueberry street might be able to join my cause in getting the infrastructure installed as I am sure no one wants to face the prospect of no phone/TV/internet for the foreseeable future! Cheers, Laura Re: Greenvale Gardens, Greenvale VIC - Boutique Homes 153Jun 17, 2014 1:23 pm Hey. Its been a while since I have checked out this forum. We are getting close to the end of our build. Building on the corner of posy st. So excited to move in. Hopefully by the end of July. Porter Davis have been really good so far. Lauramac - Thanks for the info about Opticomm.. Never thought to even check. Luckily i did a quick check on the website and our property has been connected. Hope it all works out for you... Would be a huge pain having no internet connection. As for the rates.. I haven't received anything as yet? No sure as to why.. Re: Greenvale Gardens, Greenvale VIC - Boutique Homes 154Jun 23, 2014 10:06 pm Got the latest on the park.. Get this.. It's going to start in 2 weeks ( believe it when I see it) & weather permitting it should be finished by December.... So basically 6 months to build one tiny little square of the park! If they work at that rate then I guess the whole park will be about 2 years until completion.... Re: Greenvale Gardens, Greenvale VIC - Boutique Homes 155Jun 28, 2014 12:46 am Hi Neighbourinos! My wife and I are building with Porter Davis on Iris Grove. Scheduled to start building in August. Been following this forum for a while now, and thought I would finally jump on and say hi. Its been helpful reading the comments. Its our first time building and would love to hear any advice or suggestions about building. Cheers Hoods Re: Greenvale Gardens, Greenvale VIC - Boutique Homes 158Jul 02, 2014 4:10 pm Hi Neighbour! I'm sure as our homes begin construction we'll be seeing each other soon. In regards to fencing, can anyone verify that the required height for fencing is 2m including capping? We've just received a quote for out back fence that lists the height as 1.8m, we want to make sure it's the correct height before it's built, as it would be a pain to have to get it re-done if it's not the correct height.

Pretty sure the maximum height is 2M for the fence but no issues if you build it to 1.8m. Should state it in your million page land contract. Re: Greenvale Gardens, Greenvale VIC - Boutique Homes 160Jul 05, 2014 12:28 am Hi Guys, I believe that in Greenvale Gardens that the guidelines are as follows. Construct a minimum 1.8m Timber paling fence with a maximum of 2m. I do however know that the perimeter of the estate has been done as per design guidelines which measures to be 1.95m exposed posts, with capping (which is considered a standard height). If you do have any questions or require a quote, please don't hesitate to contact me.
