I love the Avoca design! I liked the changes you've done, especially the stacker sliding door. It would look amazing as you've got an outdoor kitchen. Can't wait to see more updates Congrats on getting a start date too Re: Building Avoca 25 - Coral Homes 24Sep 03, 2015 9:14 am Coreescarlett Hi tal09, your plan and colour choices look great.

So naturally I wake up this morning and it has rained all night! Haha Met with our SS Shane this morning at the block. He is so lovely and seems very organised which is brilliant. He said he has everything booked until our roof is on already! He talked us about the dates he has for everything and emailed those all through to us. The best part is that he is hoping to have us in before Christmas! If everything goes to plan he is hoping it will be all completed by the 10th. Now I just need this weather to clear up! He also told us he had picked up on a few ordering mistakes from head office and has those being corrected. Feeling very confident with him so far!

Although our ss gave us tomorrow's date for the slab but I'm thinking it couldn't possibly be if they haven't boxed it up yet. Maybe Friday? Follow my build of the Avoca 25 - viewtopic.php?f=31&t=79262 Ask the council if there is a chance of getting build over easement exemption. Sometimes easements are unused and 24cm is not all that much. Good luck. And yes any builder… 2 13771 In Qld it is a requirement that a builder must have a cost breakdown, for building a home to the same specification, with the same inclusions and the same finish. So ask… 1 4342 Ask for references and speak to them. If they are defensive or try to avoid the request, walk. 1 74701 |
