Re: Anyone building in Bloomdale, Diggers Rest Vic 3Jan 18, 2015 1:46 pm Troyziee Hey, we will be starting our build very soon (Stage 5, titles have just been released, was delayed just prior to the christmas break-up) How about yourself, which stage are you in? Hey there, We are in stage 3. Our home should be finished by March the latest. We are building with Boutique Homes. Awesome stage 5 titles have been released. Before you know it your slab will be down and the fun begins. Who are you building with? Re: Anyone building in Bloomdale, Diggers Rest Vic 4Jan 18, 2015 7:54 pm In by March sounds awesome! We won't have site start till March thanks to the delay combined with christmas break-up. We are building with Carlisle Homes, so far its been a smooth ride, hopefully the construction is just a smooth! I have a feeling you got the block we were initially looking at, judging by the Boutique homes currently in the estate. Re: Anyone building in Bloomdale, Diggers Rest Vic 5Jan 19, 2015 6:39 am Love Carlisle they were in our top 3 to choose from. We were pretty quick getting the block as buy the time we decided on Bloomdale estate, stage 1 and 2 had already gone. The houses around us have come up so fast. Loved watching them get finished. We started in August and we have been a bit slower as we have had building inspector for each stage which was so worth it. No major issues at all and Boutique have been fantastic in amending any issues. Re: Anyone building in Bloomdale, Diggers Rest Vic 7Feb 04, 2015 5:54 pm Hey Shellzmac, do you recall how long Bloomdale and council took to approve your house design? Everything is in order for us to get to site, just need the developer/council approvals! hoping they are quite quick so we can get onsite ASAP Re: Anyone building in Bloomdale, Diggers Rest Vic 9Feb 08, 2015 10:06 pm Hi all! My partner and I purchased Stage 6. They are saying land is going to be released in May. We did a drive by today, and they are putting up the sound barriers on the Calder Fwy ramp. Estate is coming along nicely! We are building with Henley - Monaco Lux Q2. We loved the layout of this home. We are at the stage of picking all the colours, etc prior to our colour appointment / tender signing. Very exciting!! Shellzmac, did you go for an independent building inspector? We were thinking of doing the same thing. Would you highly recommend the mob that you used?

Do you currently live near by? Re: Anyone building in Bloomdale, Diggers Rest Vic 13Feb 09, 2015 6:06 pm Troyziee currently in Sydenham, so close enough to swing by on the way home from work or whatever Oh that's really handy for you! We're currently in Essendon North in an apartment. Both of our families are in Taylors Lakes, so when we're visiting them (once a week or fortnight) we pop by Diggers Rest. Last I heard, Stage 5 was supposed to be released in Feb. Have you had any indication on the date yet? Half our street is Stage 5 and half is Stage 6 (Clacy Street).

However we are all settled now and official owners of the block Stage 6 seems to be going a lot faster then stage 5 did, however that could just be because stage 5 we were checking it every couple of days waiting for things to happen! Re: Anyone building in Bloomdale, Diggers Rest Vic 15Feb 12, 2015 9:51 pm Hi all, We purchased land in stage one and are moving in next week. Nice to have a forum with my neighbours! Good luck on your builds! Re: Anyone building in Bloomdale, Diggers Rest Vic 16Feb 14, 2015 8:22 am Hey Mandalepanda, Thats awesome your moving in next week, wish i was at that stage! who did you build with? Good luck with the move my partner and I are hoping to take a couple of weeks off work when it comes time for the move, just to be able to enjoy it, and get all the little things done. Re: Anyone building in Bloomdale, Diggers Rest Vic 17Feb 15, 2015 7:04 am Congratulations Adrianaa how exciting. Strongly recommend a building inspector. We are going through Darbecca, Darren or David very well known throughout the building industry. Every stage they found things with boutique homes. Nothing major but things that were very important to ensure ur house is built to code. Darbecca.com.au Re: Anyone building in Bloomdale, Diggers Rest Vic 19Feb 15, 2015 7:11 am I think all stages have been delayed and unfortunately will continue just the way it has been we were supposed to be titled in March 2014 but was titled in July 2014. Dont rely on dates given. Re: Anyone building in Bloomdale, Diggers Rest Vic 20Feb 15, 2015 9:32 am Shellzmac Strongly recommend a building inspector. We are going through Darbecca So you would recommend using Darbecca? had not heard of them before, though i have only done very limited research for an inspector, but if you recommend them and they have already done a house in Bloomdale, i'd be happy to go with them At what point in time do you engage them? (how much notice do they need prior to starting construction) This is one of the reasons I decided to go overseas for my double glazed windows. As the builder indicated, he's worked on many upmarket builds, these were the most well… 13 19239 I have posted this before: We hired Darbecca to do every stage inspection, and I strongly recommend them to anyone that asks me. They were amazing. Thorough reports… 2 4503 Wish you all the best. Once you signed the contract, they will find millions excuses to charge you. And have seen their sites unfinished for a long time. 4 24825 |
