You need to get all the paperwork ready and then there is some contract number of days for them to be on site... Re: First Home Build - Sekisui Sydney - Luzia 53Aug 28, 2015 12:17 pm Excellent!!! Do you already have DA/CC or CDC approval? Our build: http://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=70584 Re: First Home Build - Sekisui Sydney - Luzia 54Aug 28, 2015 12:31 pm Thanks guys!! There's timeline in the contract and there's weeks of time mentioned by the salesguy. Meaning - more waiting... But that's alright, I'm hoping it to be sooner than what the contract says but I'll try to be realistic at the same time. Anyway, looking forward of posting my own progress photos!!

What is the special deal/offer you got? (I haven't kept up with what they're offering at the moment).

Our build: http://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=70584 Oh yeah that, apparently we have to go through council. Not sure if that will work better / faster.

What is the special deal/offer you got? (I haven't kept up with what they're offering at the moment). We did a LOT of changes and upgrades prior to the finalised contract (didnt realised it was that many until I listed them all on this thread). Although today we made few more changes to the drawings but mainly just relocating / adding powerpoints to suit future furniture arrangement. We are also thinking of adding NBN connections and Video Intercom. Will it be beneficial to do NBN thru them or later after handover? I have no clue about this thing. The current offer is called 'Get more for less' for $2,990.00 It includes; - Actron reverse cycle aircon - 20mm caesarstone benchtops / vanities - Softclose drawers to kitchen - Undermount sink - 60cm Smeg appliances inc. microwave and dishwasher - Stylus banksia toilets - Caroma shower mixers and taps - 1200mm high wall tiles to bathrooms $500 coles voucher Build thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=79163 Re: First Home Build - Sekisui Sydney - Luzia 60Aug 28, 2015 6:18 pm Congrats EPaul.
