Loving your front elevation, will look fab with a picket fence. My final plan is with estimating at the mo. Can you remember how long it took Celebration between you signing your PPA and when you received your contracts? I'm nearly there, apparently if I sign up by the end of June they're going to waive the 5% Margs loading ('saving' $11k) Another potential win for me after 30c ceilings and Caesarstone in all wet areas became standard last month! Re: Building the Lennox with Celebration Homes in the South 139Jun 27, 2015 4:05 am Well Trixee and Malsannie you were right, nothing to worry about as it is getting 2 coats of grey float over it apparently? Trixee, I definitely notice the finer details FantasticFour Looking great JMCL! Loving your front elevation, will look fab with a picket fence. My final plan is with estimating at the mo. Can you remember how long it took Celebration between you signing your PPA and when you received your contracts? I'm nearly there, apparently if I sign up by the end of June they're going to waive the 5% Margs loading ('saving' $11k) Another potential win for me after 30c ceilings and Caesarstone in all wet areas became standard last month! FantasticFour, you have had some great wins! We had to pay 3% loading because we are outside Bunbury and I noticed the ceasarstone benchtops are in all wet areas now as standard the house has gone up almost 20k since we signed last year. To put ceasarstone in my larder, laundry and bathrooms was going to cost an extra 9k back then and that doesn't include what we paid for the kitchen caesarstone? Don't laugh but which form is the PPA? Is that the final contracts??? I've signed so much paperwork now I don't know the names of any of the specific contracts? I did Prestart in Nov, signed everything in the middle of December as I was flat out and couldn't do it earlier. Most people sign those papers within a few days after Prestart I think? Late Dec I asked could I redo my electrical plan as I spoke to an electrician and got quoted on paying for extra powerpoints and it was going to cost about 3/4 times the price compared to getting them done during the build. I got my electrical plan back to them and about 2 weeks later I think I was on the siteworks list? They started siteworks early feb but it took 3 weeks to do the siteworks as my land was clay and and then slab about 4 weeks after siteworks had started. I noticed a lot of recent builds in Perth had slab down anywhere from 6 weeks to 4 months later after signing the final contracts? There are a couple of people in Perth who had slab down the same time as me and already have cabinets etc and they are only 17/18 weeks from slab down? Their houses are a lot smaller though. Celebrations like to do things fast generally though? Melsie68 Omg I have missed all this . It looks great and hopefully lock up soon . Melsie, I can't wait for lock up! I can't wait to see my kitchen and all my choices come together My kitchen won't be fully finished though as we are organising the overhead cupboards ourselves in the kitchen, larder and laundry. I'm also going to redo the splashback. It might take 6 months to do all of that but it's all liveable for now. The cost of overhead cupboards with Celebrations was ridiculous and I've found a fab cabinet maker who lives near us who can put them in up to ceiling height for less the half the price of Celebrations short cupboards. Looko g forward to seeing your patio Melsie Re: Building the Lennox with Celebration Homes in the South 140Jun 27, 2015 3:35 pm PPA was the very first form I signed with the builder.
