Browse Forums Building A New House Re: New Living Homes 881May 15, 2022 12:50 pm [quote="Monty85":31mx7n17]After 7 months of planning with NLH (first tender was in July 2020) we are finally about to get started with our build - building a modified Ivy 5. Things have been slow so far (some of that due to us) but overall it's been relatively smooth to this point. In contrast to some of the feedback i've read in here, dealing with the head office has been a little slow as i picked up quite a few little errors in the paperwork they were sending us. All sorted in the end, but it just wasted weeks of time. Looks like the build should be starting mid Feb 21 and I'll try to post some updates of how the experience is as things progress.[/quote:31mx7n17] Hey Mate, How did your build go?

Yeah it went pretty well all things considering. Check out my Instagram page where i posted updates along the major milestones. https://www.instagram.com/ivy5custom/?hl=en Build took 23 weeks from breaking ground to handover - although we did get lucky and scrape in just before the major material shortages reeked havoc. Build quality has been very good and the only major issues we faced were administrative by nature. Ordering wrong materials, not reading the tender correctly, etc. We picked up on most things pretty quickly anyway but our site supervisor was also awesome who was on top of most of the issues before we even noticed them. Let me know if you have any specific questions - happy to help and share.
