Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Feb 12, 2012 6:42 pm hi all my partner and i have been viewing this forum for a while now and now our new build has progressed it was about time to sign up and post a message. We have recently settled on some land in the new Mondello Estate land release, we decided to go through hickinbotham mainly because of the price, although to be honest after hours and hours of walking around display homes, we feel we have made the right decision. we have settled for the Acacia design with a few design amendments mainly due to the size/shape of our land. we initially signed the contracts in June 2011, but due to subdivision delays our council approvals were not granted until mid December, On the 10th February 2012 our house was released for construction so fingers crossed everything will go smoothly from now on. I have been very impressed with the communication with Hickinbotham, which I thought needed saying as other posts have said the opposite.
