Re: Anyone building a new home in Marriott Waters, Lyndhurst 14Feb 21, 2008 3:25 pm We found it useful to be quite forceful when dealing with the sales office. Call more than once in a row and send emails at the same time. They gets back to us pretty quickly now.
Depending on who your builder is might depend on when you can get soil tests. I know PD have a good relationship with the site office, maybe this was a factor? I don't know. Re: Anyone building a new home in Marriott Waters, Lyndhurst 15Feb 21, 2008 3:30 pm My husband has been very forceful........he's not too happy that it has taken so long.....especially since we are having to live with his parents at the moment while we wait!!!! haha
I guess I'll just try calling again today and then all day tomorrow and also send an email tonight.....hopefully get something done soon!! Just don't want to have to be waiting if we are able to get soil testing done now!!!!

Re: Anyone building a new home in Marriott Waters, Lyndhurst 16Feb 21, 2008 3:38 pm Great idea... just stalk them.. LoL
Also, were building the regent21 part of the Access range (smaller than some one the houses others are building, but we bought a smaller block).. they have the regent 23 on display at the Rise if you want to have a look, it's almost idential floor plan. Ours only has 3 bedrooms though insted of the 4 on display, and the layout up the back is a little different. There is actually no display of the 21... but i loved the floor plan, open and simple.. just what we wanted. Contracts are signed.. loan is approved.. just waiting on titles!! Re: Anyone building a new home in Marriott Waters, Lyndhurst 17Feb 21, 2008 5:25 pm Welcome to the neighborhood, Utopian Princess... I am surprised, , that there has been a soil test already done on your block. As you said there is nothing other than a pile of dirt. I think you may find that about a month, so April/May, prior to title release of your stage is when I would get the block testing done.
Because if the build starts, based on the current test you have, and the dirt/block changes with extra fill for example, then the wrong slab will be laid - possibly.. So be really careful when organising the soil test, which is why we had ours done in January, because I knew the release would be about mid Feb.

They still have a little barrier thing up to stop ou driving through while roads aren't finished yet. I would wait until another nine days and then ring them re the soil test then it is the 1st of March... actually it is only 7 days 'til the end of the month... I would ring then and arrange for soil test...

Maybe we will have to do another round of soil testing, however they did boar 2 massive holes about 2mts deep (not really sure how deep just guestimating) when they did the soil tests... hmmm... i guess its up to PD to ensure that they put the right slab down and to re-check the land as we have a fixed proce contract with them, including all site costs... but i do have the soil test report that has already been done... so i dunno... its all strange to me.. we have a pcv meeting tomorrow with PD so i'll bring it up with them then.
