Browse Forums Building A New House 1 May 26, 2014 4:30 pm My husband and I are building a new Home in Yanchep WA, we are from NSW, and our builder is Aveling homes, our settlement on our land was in December 2013. Our prestart in February with our builder was great and very informative., Things are moving very quickly at the moment, Our slab went down in first week of April, Bricks and windows delivered late April. and our brickwork commenced in 2nd week of May. so excited to see our new home being built, through pictures and videos our daughter send us, very daunting building a house in another state, thank goodness our daughter is keeping an eye on the build. So far no problems to report. Re: building new home in Yanchep 2May 28, 2014 3:26 am Hi Sue - I found your thread yay! Do you have any pictures? You should get your daughter to post the pictures on here for us all to see Which design did you go with? Good luck with your build it sounds like you've not too long to wait now to move to WA. When are you planning to move? Re: building new home in Yanchep 3May 28, 2014 9:35 am We are building with Aveling too... We had prestart the end of March and we are still waiting for our slab - very frustrating but we got our building permit a couple of days ago so it shouldn't be too long before our slab finally goes down. It isn't easy building from a distance. Glad you've got someone keeping an eye on it for you. What house are you building?

Oooh thanks Sue123, I was wondering what would happen next My build: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=68002 Re: building new home in Yanchep 12Jun 04, 2014 5:20 pm All our brickwork is just about finished, should be completed by end of this week (Hopefully) then delivery of roofing will happen soon, Cant believe we are at this stage already, We had a walk thru over the weekend, to me the house looks small, but everyone tells me "wait until everything has been clean out and the roof goes on, then the plasterwork and ceiling is done" then the house will look big enough. Re: building new home in Yanchep 13Jun 04, 2014 9:14 pm I'll be going up to the block tomorrow and will take lots of pics. I'll post them here when I get home.

MrsLatimer I assume you're sue123's daughter Re: building new home in Yanchep 16Jun 13, 2014 5:58 pm I've just been looking at this again - I really like the brick work above the fridge recess - wonder if we should ask for that too as we'll have plenty of storage in our pantry I think! Sue, did you make many changes to the base plan? You should include it here then people can visualise your house Re: building new home in Yanchep 18Jul 16, 2014 7:13 am Hi mfga78 - we'll also soon start building Yanchep Hi Sue, how is your build going?
