Browse Forums Building A New House 1 May 28, 2016 12:51 pm Hi everyone, After months of following all of your builds I finally decided it was time to create my own account and start a thread! My partner and I have a block on hold in the Whistling Grove estate in Wandi. Last night we signed our Pre Contract Quote with Home Group WA and are having our Building Contract fast tracked - should be signing next week to make the deadline for our block! I will post our house plan on Monday once it is sent through to us.
