Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 576Nov 09, 2015 3:26 pm Hey JakkiT congrats on moving in. I've been following this thread for a while as there doesn't seem to be anyone on here building where we are so the Meadows thing is probably the closest to a Myponga thread! How long did it take them from slab to moving in? I'm just trying to get a rough idea of when to expect ours to be done. Our frames have just gone up. We are building with Statesman. Would love to see some photos of what you have done! viewtopic.php?f=31&t=75840&view=unread#unread Building with Statesman Homes in Myponga, SA View our thread here: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=75840&view=unread#unread Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 577Nov 09, 2015 5:22 pm Hi lishaun, Thanks-all very exciting! Ours was 16 weeks from slab pour until handover. Frames went up 4 weels after slab pour, so you might be looking at about 12 weeks although a trade we had told me on average it's 12 weeks from slab-we had delays because of the massive amount of rain in July and August. oh there was a few things we didn't get them to do which may have made it a little faster: carpets and hard flooring (we used city discount carpets to lay the carpet and we laid the vinyl planks ourselves), kitchen splashback (still isnt done lol) as they didn't have tiles that suited the look I want and we didn't get the bathroom accessories but they would have only been an hours work anyway. Sure! I'll post some pics as soon as I can! I have followed your thread too! Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 578Nov 09, 2015 9:21 pm Wow 16 weeks!! That's pretty amazing - even with the crazy weather we had! Are you pretty happy with the job Statesman gas done? Yeh we are getting flooring, driveway, aircon and fencing done after handover. Just works out so much cheaper doesn't it! Must have been so exciting to move in!! Awesome! Look forward to seeing them! viewtopic.php?f=31&t=75840&view=unread#unread Building with Statesman Homes in Myponga, SA View our thread here: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=75840&view=unread#unread Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 579Nov 10, 2015 8:19 am Yes, it was very fast! So glad though as we moved in with my parents a week before the slab went down. Yes, mostly. Some messy painting and sanding of the plaster in spots and just a few other small issues that will get fixed. Mostly I'm REALLY annoyed about all the spots where the guy touched up the walls with SEMI GLOSS paint! I will be making them fix that too. We have those long skinny windows in the lounge and main bedroom and a couple are a bit out of whack I think as when you unlock them they spring up! The locks are already wearing down and the metal is shaving off, main bathroom shower door catches and the external laundry door is not long enough so I have asked for the doors and windows to be fixed now. I don't want a snake creeping in under that door! Who is your Site Supervisor? I thin that makes all the difference. What flooring are you going with? Our carpets are darker than I thought they would be but I'll get used to them. LOVE our vinyl planks! They are almost scratch proof! We tested them with forks lol-takes alot of force to scratch them. They are Karndean ones. Our driveway is being done today. I have a very good and very honest landscaper so happy to pass his number on. He came highly recommended and they were right. We bought our pavers from playford pavers direct-made in Adelaide - the ones we were getting originally we found out they were made in Vietnam and they use some not so nice chemicals. Definitely cheaper! We have the fence being delivered tomorrow and hubby will put that up himself. We went through stratco-good price and good customer service. Yes it was! Today my aim is to get the inside completely finished as I have a stall at the Lollipop Markets this Sunday so I need to make lots of stock and be completely prepared for that. We are also going to the Pageant on Saturday Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 580Nov 10, 2015 11:55 am Wow JakkiT, 16 weeks! We were told it will be up to 24weeks from slab pour, but that their average is far less. Of course, we're expecting there to be no work happening through December... would be nice to work in an industry where everything closes down over Christmas!
Can I get the details of your driveway man? We have some quotes and are going to go the dark coloured concrete... we had that picked out pretty much from the start, and since seeing some other places up there with the dark concrete we know that's definitely what we want. We haven't even thought about fences yet... I think I'm in a bit of denial over them. I keep telling myself that I'll have to talk to the neighbours about that so I'll cross that bridge when I get there. I'm on holidays, so going to do an extra visit up to the block today. Not sure if anything would have changed since Friday but at least it's a nice drive Wish you all the best. Once you signed the contract, they will find millions excuses to charge you.
