After reading other stories we have thought we'd keep track of our time lines and experiences to help future readers with their build with Highbury.
November 2014 - found the Hollywood III
December 2014 - tinkered around with the design to fit on our block. We have a huge frontage of 28m so we needed to widen and only 26m deep had to shift forward and move rooms a little.
March 2015 - signed initial PPA
April 2015 - first Kior designer meeting for external selections
May 2015 - signed our contract documents
June 2015 - after 3 weeks wait for the bank finally got loan unconditionally approved. Seriously though no issues with our loan just bank took their time with the remortgage of the initial bank loan.
2 July 2015 - second Kior interior design meeting took us 1 hour rather than the 4 hours allocated. Helps to have your ideas ready otherwise you'll waste your time there. Great thing about the remaining hours we didn't use with Kior is we can use them later for things like paint furniture etc.
