Many thanks Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 12565Sep 18, 2018 12:36 pm Hi All, a quick question, what is the general build time from when the gyprock (inner lining of the house is done) Kindly advise.

Our gyprock went up on 30th June. We’re currently about 3 weeks away from PCI based on conversation with our SS today. The Wisdom inspections that need to take place before we get PCI date are scheduled for next week. In theory if we keep running to this schedule we will have handover late October - so just about 4 months from gyprock to handover.

Building Wisdom Aspiration 31 at Willowdale https://ourwillowdalehome.wordpress.com/ Thanks Jenifermarie, for us SS says most probably inner lining/Gyprock in Oct 1st week. So I should not hope for any miracle this year . Our contract was 30 weeks. and construction started 4th May.

Building Wisdom Aspiration 31 at Willowdale https://ourwillowdalehome.wordpress.com/ We have a similar timeline. Gyprock completed early June and we have PCI this Friday. Thanks lombieagle , we started build on May 04 this year , construction has been consistent and moving. SS has been giving updates every friday but says will be able to give rough estimate post Gyprock. he expects Gyprock first week of Oct. I was just wishing that by some magic it will be this year BuildingWashington 32 with W https://buildyourfirsthome.wordpress.com/ Contract: 26/11/2017 DA: 28/03/2018 Admin : 26/04/2018 Const: 11/05/2018 Slab: 16/05/2018 Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 12572Sep 18, 2018 7:09 pm One I am trying to figure out a timeline from hydraulic plans to construction for KDR.

I have read about construction plans, draft end panel etc on here, but have not heard about these things from W so confused about actual order of process and timeframe to be expected. Here’s a list for you in order ( from memory) Hydraulics Landscape amendments ( with down pipes etc if needed) a few days Submission plans (1-3 weeks) CDC submission CDC approval returned ( mine took over 3 weeks but needed a few amendments) Draft end panel ( mine took 5 weeks but have seen it much quicker) Demolition ( a few weeks depends on site really) Site supervisor check after demolition( one week roughly after demolition) Site levels re taken after demolition ( 1 week roughly after demolition) Construction plans (2-3 weeks) End Panel ( I believe 24-48 hrs after return of construction plans) Production estimates ( contract states 20 working days however seems to be quicker than that) Construction Time frames can vary as each individual build is unique and has unique challenges especially for KDRB. I received my hydraulics first week of June and will receive construction plans this week. Hope that helps Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 12573Sep 18, 2018 8:16 pm What i did was send my bank statement to them to show I had funds available to cover the gap. Those 2 things were only thing required. Didn't sign anything else. Home_17 doosra Home_17 Hi All: Wisdoms require letter to commence construction?

You will also need to submit a CDC for demolition. Usually your demo company can do this for you but it does take 2 weeks. Also if you have had gas connected at the house your demolishing you will need to apply to abolish the gas connection. This can take up to 30 days.

Many thanks I think the intention of the approval letter from the client is in order to give Wisdom Homes permission to build on your Block of land. We wrote a brief letter basically saying such.

We never had plantation shutters or block out roller blinds. where are you getting them from? Aaron2008, i am going through a quotation process at the moment, and plan to get a few quotes. Have reached out to Empire Windows Furnishings and Apollo blinds. I am looking for someone who can do everything (shutters, blinds and security doors). Apollo does only shutters and blinds, where as Empire does everything: Blinds, curtains, shutters, screen doors. Getting a couple more quotes on coming weekend...so havn't finalised yet.

Building Wisdom Aspiration 31 at Willowdale https://ourwillowdalehome.wordpress.com/ Hey, loving your kitchen! Just had a look at your blog and glad to see you are close to handover at long last. Just thought I’d mention regarding the door handle, if you have the bar on outside and lever inside the door will lock on outside without the key. This is the set up we had installed and find it’s too easy to lock ourselves out! It is very secure though but we are still having it replaced with back to back handles as per our tender. SS said the roller latch required for this will open easily (blow open on a windy day) but we’ll get a snib installed. Anyway just thought I’d mention it as the set up they’ve given you means you can open it from outside. Building Monte Carlo 40- Wisdom homes Can someone please offer some advice? Im DESPERATE.
