Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 12861Oct 05, 2018 9:40 am Did anyone do engineered timber floors on the ground floor through Di Lorenzo? Did they have good options. What was the extra cost over the allowance for flooring? We have a PA, just want to make sure I have allowed enough.

Feel like i should buy myself a present or something! Congratulations! We were just short of that at 16 months but our delays were partially land delays. I can 100% tell you it feels better once you have something happening on the land. Hopefully you will get a quick site scrape and some good progress up to the Christmas break now. Seems plausible they can get slab, frames and bricks in progress before the shutdown Bricks was one of my favourite bits when there were suddenly real rooms to walk through and you can see how the light comes in and the views out the windows.

Just dropping a hello to everyone. I have been reading everyone’s post for a couple months now and sent a few DM to individuals. It’s so great to see your progress, selections, thoughts and handy tips. We are currently waiting for our tender presentation and as usual, time and cost is always the challenge. Been trying to do some homework before each stage of our KDR, even to the point of locking down our choices for variations. We are in North Ryde building a Manhattan 44 bath version. My Christmas wish would be to get all the approvals done by then. Wishful thinking? 🤔 Thanks in advance for your time! It's so nice to hear from another local building in North Ryde. 😊 Would you mind if I PM you? I am also in North Ryde. Just about to resubmit my DA. Im building a Majestic 40 with a Santa Fe facade. I upgraded the bricks to Austral Blackstone but still mixed with cladding. Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 12871Oct 06, 2018 5:58 pm amf139 Manhattan52 In Production estimates officially today...

I upgraded the bricks to Austral Blackstone but still mixed with cladding. Great Funk52. Any reason for the resubmission of DA? Also are you building a pool with Wisdom or did you go with another company? What about landscaping. Trying to figure out if we do the one stop shop with them or go separately and save some $$. Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 12878Oct 07, 2018 8:19 am Funk52 Has anyone selected the solar panels and Tesla battery storage instead of taking the $15k voucher? Looks like a good deal but I would hope that you receive a consultation to review your energy needs before having to decide on this. I'm keen to understand if you went for this option? How many panels are actually included for the size of the house you're building and did you end up paying for extra panels?

Did anyone go to The Sydney Home Show this weekend? I'm still debating with myself whether we should go or not! Morning! ASJ1981, we went to the home show yesterday. In fact we went in May 2018 and nothing stuck, meaning too earlier to have real meaning. However this weekend, some displays and advice made more sense now we are on the path to building. I sat through those talks re: design style and advice on bathroom/kitchen do and donts. Helpful. Eg lighting for ambience, task or general. Then there is RESTRAINT. 😂 Sometimes it’s affirmation on the choice you make. Home show is free, if you have time to go then why not. Nothing to lose. Can someone please offer some advice?
