Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Aug 31, 2015 4:05 pm We managed to secure a lot @Calleya in March 2014. Our block is 480m2 with 15m frontage. After looking at many builders we decided to go ahead with Impressions as their Sales rep was excellent and she came up with custom plan to suite our needs in just 3 days! Our main criteria was to have Master bed in the rear side. Impressions did very well in design and cost was in budget too.

I like that all the bedrooms are separated away from the main living area. It's quite similar to the McDonald Jones rental we just moved out of.

Thanks yep we managed to get all bedrooms on one side and they are decent size too. Love your 2 story design, looks massive. Just checked Madison 35 on website the elevations are awesome!

Liked the way study designed. We are also building in Calleya with Content-Living, designed rear master plus entry to alfresco. Did they do any work before Title?

Builder won't do anything until you have building permit and you will get building permit after the title. Looking forward to see your plan.

The build is going pretty smooth so far we have had few hiccups but due to rain. Our sales rep was Uliana Sherbina, I highly recommend her. I have heard Danielle is good too. I can PM you her contact no if you want.

Before signing the contract I whinged a lot to impressions about timeline and bad reviews about BGC but they have new sales manager who promised me timely build. Fingers crossed.
