I'm looking for contractors to get quotes from. Try Gravity Demolition, and Dig Dig...

We submitted our planning permit to council on 9/4 & we had been advised by our council contact that we would have a response from the airport today. In fact the council failed to send our planning application to the airport until last night. We now won't receive a response until 8/6. They are blaming a system change, not the staff member's incompetence! One more month wasted hanging out in this crappy rental...

Re: KDR - Hawkesdale (DFH) 109Jun 01, 2016 4:08 pm Planning permit received. Woohoo! All paperwork now submitted to DFH. I think they need to apply for building permit next...

Bank has also sent DFH authority to begin the build. It's all up to them now. It's 12 months tomorrow since we settled on the block & 11 months since we knocked the old house down... We're well & truly ready to get things moving & leave this tiny rental!

We've been advised that our build has been sent to ordering and it will be at least 3 weeks there before they apply for the building permit and schedule contractors. They couldn't tell us when we could expect the build to start. It's now 5 months since we signed the original sales estimate. Our land is ready to go. Are we being too impatient? KDR Under the Flight Path - Dennis Family Homes (Hawkesdale) Re: KDR Under the Flight Path - Dennis Family Homes (Hawkesd 112Jun 25, 2016 10:01 pm I feel your pain Rondy. The admin side of things takes a lot longer than most builders. We're still waiting for our final plans and variation. They keep saying we'll get it this day then the next, and it really shouldnt take that long. I hope you get some good news soon. Looking forward to seeing your house come together. Building with Dennis Family Homes Re: KDR Under the Flight Path - Dennis Family Homes (Hawkesd 113Jun 26, 2016 4:37 pm No one seems to know what's going on. We had a variation approved by the sales manager after a push to get it through. 5 weeks later admin said we couldn't have it. We had to provide the proof of the original sales variation. They don't seem to communicate between departments well. Anyway hoping for a smooth build ahead for us both when we finally start! KDR - Hawkesdale (DFH) KDR Under the Flight Path - Dennis Family Homes (Hawkesdale) Re: KDR Under the Flight Path - Dennis Family Homes (Hawkesd 114Jun 26, 2016 6:28 pm We were told a few things and when the variations went to production, we got a note saying this is not an applicable variation. No explanation what so ever. Our ensuite took about 4 variations and they still didnt get it right even though we told them to just contact us so we can work through it with someone. Lack of communication is the most frustrating part. Im hoping they get the last variation right coz im over the waiting. On a good note ive heard their build quality is good so im hoping all this stress is worth it Building with Dennis Family Homes Re: KDR Under the Flight Path - Dennis Family Homes (Hawkesd 115Jul 11, 2016 11:26 pm Newbie alert! Just wanted to say, hugs Rondy. Just read your whole thread. Hope it all works out soon and you can get on with the next phase. How utterly frustrating!! x Re: KDR Under the Flight Path - Dennis Family Homes (Hawkesd 116Jul 12, 2016 10:25 am Lenz88 Newbie alert! Just wanted to say, hugs Rondy. Just read your whole thread. Hope it all works out soon and you can get on with the next phase. How utterly frustrating!! x Thanks for you kind words Lenz88. I just hope that when our build starts it goes smoothly. Our problems have really only been with the admin stages, some people on this forum are having terrible trouble with their builds. It makes you realise how important it is to double check everything & hire a private inspector. We are hoping for good news regarding our build on Friday. Are you building with Dennis?

We bought our home 12 years ago and have outgrown it. We love where we live so are thinking this might be the best way to go. The process is tedious though and daunting to say the least! Re: KDR Under the Flight Path - Dennis Family Homes (Hawkesd 118Jul 13, 2016 4:33 pm We've moved suburbs altogether closer to our children's school. Which DFH plan are you looking at? Our plan has now been discontinued. We got in just in time.
