Browse Forums Building A New House The playground, Coolbellup - New building contract signed 92Jun 15, 2015 7:00 pm Hi Guys, for anyone interested, without going into the whole drama with Freelife going into administration and now being wound up... after much time and paperwork with insurance, council, administrators, building commission etc. This week I signed a new building contract with a new builder. Stay tuned for updates- Construction should start back up in the 2-4 weeks. Everything is crossed that I might get keys by xmas (big might).

Great to see that the playground is starting to look really good, with a lot of places finished or very close to being. Glad also that the majority of Freelife customers seem to be making progress, and some have since completed their homes (based on chat here and on the various FB groups associated with the unfortunate mess. Anyway, happy to report that a lot has happened since last posting here.

Re: My first build: The playground, Coolbellup - Free life h 98Oct 06, 2015 1:37 pm New builder is Don Russell Homes. The difference between them and FLH has been night and day-great communication, great progress, seamless transition between stages. The build was almost at completed roof cover before they'd received the plate height payment. Couldn't speak highly enough of them to be honest (*touching all of the wood*).
