Btw , antenna is included in move in pack.Good to hear that your getting close to construction start... Mine would be a long wait. I have read in other post that some of the builders are charging $250/week due to construction delay because the land was not settled. There's one that has been charged a rediculous amount of 11k because of that. Oh my, i dont think we would be able to afford that cost... But i think the delay was like 11 months or so, ours will be 4-5 months only i hope. Re: Our Build - Henley Monaco Nouveau Q1 in Melbourne West 132May 06, 2013 9:02 am mtz08 Hi Jm14, for our land, just drove past it yesterday. Street lights are in, footpath and crossover are complete. They were levelling the land with topsoil yesterday. Not long to go... Just checked out your blog cpl! Nice going... Btw did you increase your ceiling height? Which stages do you hire private inspector for? Thanks, yes we upgraded to 2770 or there abouts. Guess is not too long for both of you now!

Oh nice! we wanted to increase the ceiling as well but figured it will blow our cost and we actually don't need it anyway. Just out of curiosity, how much was it for upgrading the ceiling? Also did you increase the window & door height for the whole house? Will be interested in the upgrade cost for window/doors.

Re: Our Build - Henley Monaco Nouveau Q1 in Melbourne West 135May 12, 2013 10:51 pm Cpl! Your house is really coming along nicely! Everything looks amazing, especially your facade and butlers pantry. Re: Our Build - Henley Monaco Nouveau Q1 in Melbourne West 136May 13, 2013 8:47 am The sunlight is also coming nicely into your living area! Which way is your facade facing? Re: Our Build - Henley Monaco Nouveau Q1 in Melbourne West 137May 13, 2013 9:35 am mtz08 The sunlight is also coming nicely into your living area! Which way is your facade facing? Thanks! We are facing South, so good morning sun will come through the living room. How did everyone go last week? Any updates? We went curtain shopping and hope to finalise it soon. And its pretty expensive -.-" Re: Our Build - Henley Monaco Nouveau Q1 in Melbourne West 138May 13, 2013 9:57 am The land is complete, hoping Stockland would just hurry and send it to the registration office so that the land can title soon. We were so excited yesterday standing on our lovely piece of land.. hehe On another note, Henley seems ready as well. My admin keep asking me when they can go on site to do the soil test... yay!

Hey mtz ... sounds similar to us. I don't think the developers are the villain here. Ours is ready to go but by all accounts the council took forever to grant compliance. We're expecting titles any day now. Well in a perfect world anyway. Hey did you get a massive let down from the bank when they undervalued your build? We were shocked as it came in highly undervalued but won't affect us thankfully.
