Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Feb 15, 2016 9:35 pm I have been coming onto this site for years looking at everyones ideas and following their stories. Love seeing everyones journeys to getting their dream home. In February 2015 we purchased an already titled block in Caversham - 464m2. Leading up to this we had been through every display home known to man until one day we entered a Ventura display home in Baldivis and immediately looked at each other and we knew that it was the one for us. We met with the sales guy twice as I was a hard sell especially since at the time we had not actually sold the house we were in . We put the house up for sale and it sold within three days at the first open home. We were free! Easter weekend 2015 we met with the sales guy at the Ventura office and I was ready to commit so we signed away and paid our deposit. Ventura were excellent to deal with through out the whole sale and admin stage. The timeline for our build so far is as follows; 07/04/15 - Deposit 26/06/15 - Prestart 08/10/15 - Slab down 26/10/15 - Brickwork completed 30/11/15 - Roof complete 01/02/16 - Lock Up Plans: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Tile & Cabinets: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Ventura Homes build - Caversham 5Feb 17, 2016 3:32 pm The kitchen with counter and range backed by doors to alfresco is an interesting choice, something I wouldn't have thought would look right, but is actually really logical and looks great in your plan!

We are in the process of looking through displays and choosing our builder - Ventura is our favourite so far. We love the Sunset Cove plan but the one in Baldivis is also up there as a favourite. Have you made many changes from the display? Are you doing the standard or Vspec version?

As soon as I read this line, I knew exactly which house you were talking about! We liked this one too - very different with the door through the kitchen, reminds me of what houses were like when I was growing up. Love the placement of the media room too - and the range hood in the kitchen is such a point of difference Our Custom Dale Alcock build in the Village at Wellard https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=78620 Re: Ventura Homes build - Caversham 10May 03, 2016 3:25 pm Hello Skaney Following your building! We are building with Ventura as well! Looking forward to see your progress! Thank you so much everyone. This all makes a lot of sense.
