Well, I haven't been on the forum for ages.. (slaps wrist).
We have just placed our "dream house" on the market and have decided to build again, just not to the grand scale as our last build (or with a certain builder).
We have purchased a block in The Reserve which is dual frontage onto the golf course and a block 400 sqm smaller than what we have now. I want basically the same amount of rooms 4x2, activity, theatre, office but not the 308 sqm of living that I have now. It is so big and hard to maintain the house and the yard when hubby is FIFO and I have been studying fulltime and will be for another 4 years so we have made the decision to downsize.
Looking at builders that are doing lot of decent inclusions to minimise how much we have to do ourselves and coordinate before moving in - last 2 builds have been such headaches when it came to that. We have been talking with Ventura and Home Group as they both had a design that we thought we could juggle a little easily but it's not proving to be as they don't feel "right". Now expanding to look at Aveling and New Gen as well.
Have been looking through lots of threads trying to get some ideas of who are still not up to scratch and the amount of delays. Our titles are not due until Dec/Jan (ha ha I know more like Jun 14 you say) so we have time to sound them out.
