Hello all,
I have used this forum a fair bit to see what other people have done, ideas and information about different builders and HomeGroup themselves.
Anyway, now I have signed up myself and making our own thread for our new house that we will be building.
We have signed up with HomeGroup WA to build their Lancaster complete home.
We have modified the standard floor in a few places:
- We have added an additional garage and a manual roller door to the rear
- Completely modified the kitchen layout to be the same or very similar to the platinum display home including a servery window to the alfresco
- modified the ensuite to be a similar style to the platinum display home too.
