Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Dec 08, 2012 3:30 pm ok so i finally decided to post about our build with fowler homes. to cut a long story short....... Started the process around June 2011, settled on land around sept 2011, signed contract ready to go in Nov 2011. had issues from signing contract to council but was finally ready to start and construction began in May 2012. so here are some pictures from design, slab, frames, piping, bricks, electrical, insulation, roofing, gyrocking and fitouts still a heap of little things to be done. building is a constant headache but im sure well worth it in the end!!
