Just wanted to ask you a question, i have received our preliminary plans drawing today and our fridge recess is saying 850mm?? And i was hoping it was 1000mm. Can you please let me know what size is your recess? We were told prior to our meeting that 1000mm is a standard size. So im a bit worried about this coz that means we have to cut our cupboards short to fit a side by side fridge cheers dave!

Im a bit worried and stressing now to be honest. Everytime that i look at our plans theres somethin missing or wrong to it.

I didn't change anything at prestart so not sure what you can change. Have you signed your final plans yet? Re: homestart the accolade dawesville 26Nov 21, 2014 7:26 pm Roof timbers have been on-site for a week now but the chippies have not yet started, maybe next week. Thanks to Archetto for visiting my site and posting me some piccies - very kind and much appreciated. Re: homestart the accolade dawesville 27Nov 21, 2014 7:41 pm Hi dave, no we havent signed anything yet. We only just got our drafted preliminary plans yesterday and i freaked out when i saw the width of our fridge is 850mm its for a single fridge our fridge size will be 912mm so we might have to change this. we are also missing a darn door in our garage for access to rear. So frustrating coz i have included a door when we requested the garage to be extended. we have since emailed our CA and waiting for their reply as usual We also got our standard electrical plan and we are happy with this. Just goin to put extra tv points, gpos and switches.

Homestart did say that I should have a roof before new year so can't fault them. Ridge tiles need to be bedded and roof scaff has to be removed to finish off. Looking forward to render , ceilings and plastering.

Your place is coming along nicely, I like the colour of the brick I'm just waiting on final approval and will be building behind you on Turtle way, it's a great area. Can't wait to get the ball rolling. Cheers Re: homestart the accolade dawesville - roof timbers started 36Dec 23, 2014 10:11 am Hi scott_michelle, thanks for the comment. Just had a look at you house plan, I like the garage store and that your master bed is not at the front. Did you cover the max building area for the block? Looking forward to watching your build.

Rendering has been completed and ceilings should be fixed soon. You must be itching for prestart. Your house should come in "as new" condition. It should be clean, and without stains 1 4877 Hi Need to read your contract about when final payment is received. Clearly outlines what happens.
