Hi Lil Pom, we built a Jasper 17. Tomorrow I will take and send you some photos. We are very happy with our home.



Oh thats awesome

Thank you ever so much. Were so excited. We have settled and awaiting paperwork etc from HB.

Had you had any issues at all?

We are building the Jasper. If our build happens before yours I'll happily send some on!

Hi Jane,

Thanks

Im hoping we'll start in Aug
really excited !!

Hey guys I hope someone can help me here. When i sign the contracts etc i didnt have the money to pay for a stove upgrade from 600mm to 900mm because i was saving for my 5% deposit. Now i have the money for the upgraded stove, do you think HBC will let me upgrade. My construction is not due to start till December earliest. Has anyone been through the same situation?

Hi Rinku, we are at Parks Edge too. Linham drive . YAY to future neighbour! which street are you at ?
We did have some issues involving our slab which made us hire a private building inspector. It was extra money but totally worth it for the peace of mind - especially when you know very little about building. HBC were great in regards to rectifying any issues that our inspector picked up along the way. After handover we noticed that our heating wasn't working in some bedrooms and we had no issues in getting this fixed. We are very happy.

Thats awesome !
happy to hear.

Yeah I will be getting Darbecca to inspect slab - frame ans final.

We think that it's wonderful. The jasper is a small home, so it doesn't take very long to heat up. It isnt zoned heating however you can close vents to the rooms that don't need to be heated. We honestly turn it on of a morning to heat up the house and then turn it off. It retains the heat quite well. Our recent gas bill was $90. It's great for a smaller home.

Hi Atherbogan,
I suggest you email your consultant and kindly explain and request this, they're pretty easy and understanding from my experience. It shouldn't be an issue as it will just create a variation for you to pay separately for but see how you go!

I too am building the Jasper and still waiting for notice of land title...
Hello future neighbor


We're on Yellow Robin circuit. Hoping for things to go smoothly.

HELP!! I've noticed that in photos people have the window splash back and the 900 oven (not free standing) I have my appointment tomorrow morning and I have received an email stating I have to have a free standing oven.... Has anyone else come across this issue? I'm so annoyed because I've already got my appliance upgrades in my PWC and the display has what I want.... Gahhhhhh




I was able to get some pictures of the kitchen only. Can someone kindly share any more pics of the Jasper 17.

Thanks x

I've sent you a PM with some photos Lil Pom.


Colour scheme of STORM. Colours only (not photos of Jasper17)

I highly recommend the bolero rustic nougat flooring, we have that, it's a pale blond colour and hides the dirt so well
