Browse Forums Building A New House 1 May 24, 2013 2:06 pm OMG , we sign our contract on Saturday 25th May and have prestart booked for Thursday 30th May, taken 7 weeks to prepare but now it's all go, go, go ! Our block is 572sq.m in Baldivis but titles not due until June sometime. We have modified the Applause Plus design with V-Spec so will post plans and pics of the lot later. Just want to say how great our rep Davide Gullotto is (currently based in the Spires estate display home), he has helped no end in dealing with the broker and generally being a good listener in stressful moments !

All done now and did the meet with the colour co-ordinator yesterday, only a couple of changes so we are all set for final plans (will post them when they come in!) Settlement set for 25th June !

Other than that we got our final mortgage approval a week ago at last so just waiting for the last approvals on the build to come back so we can get started. Have a new pre-start girl suddenly but she seems to be just as good as the last so far !

I love plans that are a bit different then the normal master at front, kids at the back everything else between
Re: Building with Ventura Homes in Baldivis - PLAN ADDED ! 16Jul 29, 2013 1:45 pm That's why we liked it, wanted to be closer to the kids.............at least while they are young. We love having the sliding doors in the bedroom too so we can have a small adults only courtyard and obviously the spa bath in the en-suite (Decina Martino Santai). We tried to avoid going too far back on the block to leave room for a pool and some garden. The pool will be in the right corner a couple of steps from the alfresco so we can sit and watch the kids in comfort ! Love my garage store too and the way it creates a bin store area at the front (behind a gate). The downside of the plan is the fact that the services are all on the wrong side so site costs are up I'll post the kitchen plan later as well as colour selections (I'll have to check what they were with the boss !)
