Awesome. Was the quote you got much different to the listed price? How much are you going to have to do yourself?

Currently living with my mother-in-law and my partner is quite keen for the new house. Did any fellow Fernbrooke Ridge people go and look at the plans for the new park? Re: Price from different project builders in brisbane 70Apr 14, 2014 5:15 pm I didn't know about the event so i didn't go. I got a call from lendlease this morning, soil testing for stage 11a/b can start next Tuesday (22/4/14). Not long to go now Re: Price from different project builders in brisbane 71Apr 14, 2014 9:02 pm bamboo12 I didn't know about the event so i didn't go.

(Somebody really should start a Fernbrooke Ridge community thread lol) Re: Price from different project builders in brisbane 73Apr 21, 2014 1:13 pm Yes got the email to allow soil testing, Still have not chosen a house to build, I better get cracking!! What are the plans for new park? Have not heard anything from Land Lease, except that soil testing can commence this week. Re: Price from different project builders in brisbane 75Jul 31, 2014 12:28 pm nicky72 Soil test done, come back as M, so happy, no extra costs for slab!! Still waiting for land titles, taking for ever!! Great news about the soil test. Ours came back as H2, but we had budgeted for E so it worked out well. You must be in stage 11B? Our land settled at the end of June. Just waiting for final working drawings then council approval. Fingers crossed we can get things started in August.

We drove pass stage 11A today, i saw 3 blocks started building already, 1 with steel frames up already.. how did they get things rolling so quick? Our soil test came back as a H1, but the site cost is about $15k higher than we budgeted for, we're still waiting for the working drawings Re: Price from different project builders in brisbane 77Jul 31, 2014 9:02 pm bamboo12 We drove pass stage 11A today, i saw 3 blocks started building already, 1 with steel frames up already.. how did they get things rolling so quick? Our soil test came back as a H1, but the site cost is about $15k higher than we budgeted for, we're still waiting for the working drawings Haven't actually been out there for a while. Can't believe that anybody has made progress. I thought we were pushing our builder pretty hard lol. They did take a while to get the site survey done though. We should get our working drawings within two weeks, and then hopefully council approval will be quick. Happy to finally feel like we are getting somewhere. Re: Price from different project builders in brisbane 78Aug 05, 2014 7:24 pm Still waiting for titles, seems to be taking forever! Keep me posted on how long council took to approve your plans Yes I am in Stage 11b. Still no public access! All I wanna do is go have a good look at this land I brought of the plan!! lol Re: Price from different project builders in brisbane 79Aug 14, 2014 3:55 pm MDolley bamboo12 We drove pass stage 11A today, i saw 3 blocks started building already, 1 with steel frames up already.. how did they get things rolling so quick?

Happy to finally feel like we are getting somewhere. there's about 10 sites in construction mode already, and i'm still waiting for the drawings. what are you guys doing about the landscaping /retaining walls /driveway? are those included in your build costs? i think i might have to diy for everything except the driveway Re: Price from different project builders in brisbane 80Aug 19, 2014 2:04 pm bamboo12 there's about 10 sites in construction mode already, and i'm still waiting for the drawings. what are you guys doing about the landscaping /retaining walls /driveway? are those included in your build costs? i think i might have to diy for everything except the driveway Still waiting on drawings too. Should be this week. Hopefully council approval doesn't take ages. Driveway is included with my builder, as well as landscaping to the front yard. Will have to work something out for the back yard myself, but this will probably just be a matter of getting turf. Thank you so much everyone. This all makes a lot of sense. I guess when you talk to a builder who butters up everything to look very polished, you get to start believing… 7 18181 First time poster long story short we are planning knocking down rebuilding a house in Wavell Heights We are thinking to go with Omni built homes as they are but flexible… 0 16772 yep you need a joint, foam is easiest, will look fine once rendered with a joint. 2 5269 |
