Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Aug 02, 2014 10:08 pm Hi, I have just purchased a block of land in North Kellyville at White Gum Place and registration is due in Jan 2015. After going through lots of display homes, we liked The Grandworth with Allcastle Homes. We still have time to finalise our plans so wanted to check if anyone else is building with All Castle Homes. If yes, how has the experience been so far?? The online reviews dont seem too positive. However, we really like the Grandworth design so wanted to see if anyone else is going for the same.

No we are Building an Eden Brae Ivanhoe Single Storey, are you on White Gum Place or the street behind? We got a letter from our Solicitor a few weeks back saying they have asked for another 3 Months before registration!! So it could be Middle of May or maybe before ![]() Re: Building in North Kellyville - Allcastle Homes 9Feb 08, 2015 4:07 pm ![]() Yes, I have bought from zarzar Lot 115. Have you also bought from Zarzar? Hi Kc27! We purchased from zarzar as well and we are on Lot 114. I guess we are going to be neighbours! ![]() Would love to hear how everyone is progressing! ![]() Re: Building in North Kellyville - Allcastle Homes 10Feb 08, 2015 5:13 pm Hi mac+rex, Thanks for the update. We still haven't finalised the builder yet but would be finalsing one soon . We are looking to build a 2 storey. Hoping that the registration does happen in March. Hope to catch up as we proceed further in our building process. Re: Building in North Kellyville - Allcastle Homes 11Feb 08, 2015 6:07 pm Also, just wanted to check if your builder was able to get access to the land to do the surveys and soil testing to determine site costs or has this been based on the draft contour plans. Re: Building in North Kellyville - Allcastle Homes 12Feb 09, 2015 10:03 pm Hey Kc27, No our builder hasn't been able to get access to the land yet to do the tests. They've put provision for standard site costs and requirement for H class slab. We've told the builder that the land is quite flat so it shouldn't be too bad with site costs. Re: Building in North Kellyville - Allcastle Homes 13Feb 18, 2015 2:28 pm Hi We are lot 105 White Gum Place and did our own Bush Fire Report, well worth it, our builder was going to charge us $1300 in our tender, we got a private company to do it for $350 then just forward it on to the builder, we are Bal-low, if you are 100 meters away from the bush you should come in Bal-Low, we have also been told registration end of March so Fingers Crossed!!! Also there is a facebook page for Building in North Kellyville which gives some info ![]() Re: Building in North Kellyville - Allcastle Homes 14Feb 18, 2015 2:34 pm We are H. Class Slab also, Eden Brea do a fixed priced tender,with no additional site costs once you sign your tender Re: Building in North Kellyville - Allcastle Homes 15Feb 18, 2015 2:41 pm Mac- Rex Be prepared for some extra site costs, we are Lot 105 so more or less opposite on White Gum Place, land is also quite level but we were told no cut and fill over 500mm, so we now have a split level single storey (Big $$$) extra to pay, although we will have 3m High ceilings to most of the house Re: Building in North Kellyville - Allcastle Homes 16Feb 18, 2015 2:51 pm Hi Philsmith72, Thanks for the update. Good to know we are in bal-low rating, as we had costs factored in for bal-12 rating.Also, could you please share the bush fire report company, so I can hire the same company for the bush fire report. Re: Building in North Kellyville - Allcastle Homes 17Feb 18, 2015 2:55 pm Also, i did drive past the site last weekend and there is an access to enter from White Gum place. I noticed the lot numbers have also been put up so perhaps the builders can now access to determine the site costs.
