The build quality is great. We built the Regal (it was a display now closed). As far as build times ours worked out to be about 7 months. Good Luck. Re: First Homebuyers Building in Aveley (Celebration Homes) 28Nov 16, 2011 5:21 pm The JJs Hi wrethm01 Loving your colour choices! Partner and I also going for the red brick cottage style - we're still not sure what colour to choose for our render across the front though. Are you able to post a pic of your sketch which shows your front elevation? Is the 6c London Fog render on the top or bottom half of your front elevation? Needing a bit of inspiration right now...and you have quite good taste Hey JJ's, I'll post the facia when I get home but we've got render on the front of our place up to 7 courses (to just below the front windows) which is the london fog, then the remainder of the front of the house is the Pumphouse bricks. Rest of our features match the roof which is surfmist, so surfmist planter and surfmist door, with white pearl window frames . Love the red brick houses - the light brick is being overdone at the moment - so many houses in Aveley are that light grey, dark grey render... Want something a little bit different with a bit of bang.. If you want our inspiration have a look at his display home from plunkett http://www.plunketthomes.com.au/avon-lodge.aspx ... it's amazing, we're basically building a mini one of these!

Woohoo!! roll on settlement.. In the mean time, plans are with developers then going to shire - Might have approval before settlement.. LOL I'm just being optimistic but it could happen! haha Congrats! That's another box you can tick off now Thanks for the link to that display home - I used to live in Ellenbrook very recently and remember driving past that home, it's lovely. Had a bit of a drive around Mt Lawley today for some Federation inspiration...not sure how I'm going to make my place look like one of those houses with only a fraction of the budget though, hahah. When is your settlement date? Hopefully City of Swan don't hang on to your building licence application for too long...there is new legislation effective from Jan 1, 2012 which will mean the local govts have to process building licence applications in 14days...will be interesting to see how this "fast-tracking" actually works.

I know what you mean! I live in Wembley and look at the federation houses all the time - it was our inspiration but I didn't think we could realistically mimic the old federation houses as its obvious its a brand new build - thats why we went for the modern greys set off against the white roof and red brick - I call it modern federation haha! Our pre-starter thought it was a great choice though - and we love the pumphouse brick - here's to something a little bit different Have you got your block sorted in Aubin Grove yet? TBH I haven't been out that way but looks like it's not too far out which is good! How far into the process are you? Done it once.. Lived in it a year.. Sold it.. Doing it again!

We've had conditional approval for ages now, the only thing we're waiting for is the building contract. We're building with SPH - we've been told we can't do anything with pre-start until we get unconditional finance approval. It's definitely the beginning of what is likely to be the ultimate test of our patience! In a way, I'm sort of glad that it's being put off a bit longer....I've got uni exams on at the moment and I'm a problem procrastinator when it comes to studying, so it's just as well I'm not picking out tiles, bricks and benchtops right now I'm also doing our own settlement, so that's another thing I have to look forward to :/...so each time we've had the finance extension, I've breathed a sigh of relief because I'm pretty nervous about potentially stuffing up the settlement. We'll probably be a couple of months behind you guys - pretty keen to see how you progress, we've got quite similar design ideas I think! Are the bricks you've chosen from Austral?

Have you thought about changing builder or are you happy with SPH? Seem's like huge delays - I would have been raging by now! Though I've had a reasonably quick turn around with all my stuff! We've got settlement on the 6th December! Woohoo. And yeah they are Austral Pumphouse I believe - it's one of celebration homes standard brick choices Done it once.. Lived in it a year.. Sold it..

Looking at others applications in our street, we are one of three currently applying and one of us already has approval after like 2 weeks - hoping they are nice and approve us before XMAS . We have settlement planned in a week - just waiting for a few forms from council then hopefully we will get a build commence date - FINGERS CROSSED I'm already impatient and we've had a pretty painless and very quick process so far... haha Done it once..

I'm quite certain that you'll have your approval before Xmas. Our plans are probably another month away from being submitted to council...I keep having nightmares about them being rejected (we have our alfresco area in a different location than the 'preferred' location on the DAP). We finally signed our building contract last week! Baby steps...hahah. All the best for your settlement It's finally happening!

The build time for us was 6 months from start of siteworks to handover. We had a great supervisor and fantastic tradies and all the office staff were nice and helpful. The great service continued after handover too, we had a plumbing issue and they sent someone out the very same day I rang. We also went for red brick and chose New Graphite for our bathroom and laundry cabinets. We love our home and hope you have a great build experience too. If you are interested in timelines, I kept a blog and updated our build progress weekly (see signiture). You will probably have a quicker build time, but it may give you a rough idea of when and what to expect next Good luck with the rest of your paperwork stage...it sounds like you are almost done with that tedious stage and onto the fun stuff Re: First Homebuyers Building in Aveley (Celebration Homes) 37Dec 13, 2011 11:05 am Did settlement all run smooth? I hope all is going well, and the council give you a nice christmas present! Re: COUNCIL APPROVAL!!
