Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Dec 09, 2013 7:42 pm Hi All, My partner and I are building a 6m terrace house in Lightsview, thought this would be a good place to monitor how our build was going and get advice from anyone doing something similar to us! So far we have had quite a long road, we settled our on land in late March 2012, and signed with Sekisui, we went through the entire process with them (including the arduous Lightsview approval process) only to find that our bank valuation had not come in. We were unable to meet an agreement with Sekisui, so in December 2012, we had to walk away and begin the process with a new builder. Very disappointing…. After visiting a countless number of builders and display homes, we ended up signing with Sterling in May 2013. We completed our selections in August 2013. Council and Lightsview approvals were completed at the end of October. Site works began on our block on 28 November, slab to anticipated to be laid either 13 December or 20 December (as long as it’s done before Xmas!). Is there anyone who has currently built, or is building in Lightsview that can give us some information about the Hills Home hub? We are a bit unsure at this stage as to where to put the hills hub and exactly how it will work practically once we’ve moved in. Any information or advice that anyone has about building in Lightsview, very much appreciated.

Most people put under stairs, or on the garage. My recent neighbour even decided to put his hill's hub in the living room linen together with his home automation. 7.5M Dual Frontage terrace @ lightsview SA /viewtopic.php?f=31&t=58754 moved in - April 2014 furnitured - August 2014 home theatre - September 2014 Game room - December 2013 moved in - 09 April 2014 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 17609 1 10485 hi guys. Please be nice.
