Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Oct 07, 2015 9:27 pm Hey guys,
Joshua and Rachel here. We wanted to share our first home experience with you. We decided to build with dechellis because we were really impressed with the quality of their display homes. First things first we bought a block of land (435sqm) at Seaford Heights settlement was on the 21st of August 2015. Building starts tomorrow which we are excited about. We would love to hear from anyone who is building in the vista estate area. We will keep you all posted on our building updates.

Nah we don't have set dates, ours has been released to construction so hopefully not much longer before we start seeing some progress we've been getting all our other bits and prices for the house in the meantime Re: Our first build - Dechellis - Seaford Heights Vista 19Oct 20, 2015 6:45 pm Last friday our slab went down!! When we went to the block we did not expect it to be done as we had some rain that day. Here are some photos of the slab! We are so excited! Does anyone know what the average time they leave the slab to dry before the frame goes up?
