Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Building in Gregory Hills - College Release Hall and Har 82Jul 12, 2017 8:31 pm The staircase looks lovely. How much was the upgrade for timber over carpet? Re: Building in Gregory Hills - College Release Hall and Har 83Jul 12, 2017 8:33 pm From memory for our house design it was $7000 but we did also add the stainless steel bars too. Re: Building in Gregory Hills - College Release Hall and Har 84Jul 12, 2017 8:38 pm Eeek, I think it's definitely worth it by the looks of yours! From memory I think the display home for the Elyse which we are building has carpeted stairs so would be interesting to see if anyone was building an Elyse with timber stairs. It looks as if your build is really coming along now AllyBrian. How long until completion? Re: Building in Gregory Hills - College Release Hall and Har 85Jul 12, 2017 9:12 pm Due for completion Mid to End August I think. Yes it is alot of $$ but we thought it was worth it, and everyone with carpet stairs that I know say how bad the carpet wears and you end up replacing it all the time. Have you signed your contract? Re: Building in Gregory Hills - College Release Hall and Har 86Jul 31, 2017 8:49 am Has anyone else signed on recently? How has your experience been? We are hoping to sign with someone hopefully this week... pretty big decision though. P.s. Love the stairs AllyBrian! Totally worth the $$. Can't wait to see the finished product. Re: Building in Gregory Hills - College Release Hall and Har 87Jul 31, 2017 8:59 am AllyBrian, only just seen this. We have only paid our tender fee. We are still awaiting our land to be registered s are currently in a bit of a holding pattern. Hows progress with your build? Re: Building in Gregory Hills - College Release Hall and Har 88Jul 31, 2017 9:05 am Our DA has just been updated to Approved via Council website. Pretty quick really, about 6 weeks. Hall and Hart kept us up to date throughout the process, communication has continued to be great. Replies are always very fast. Build not too far away now! Re: Building in Gregory Hills - College Release Hall and Har 90Jul 31, 2017 9:42 pm Feels like these last few weeks are taking forever, really love seeing our house come together and can't wait to get in. I have really enjoyed building with Hall and Hart and are very happy with our choice. Tender stage is so exciting, like you've made your choice and can start to plan your home and all the details. I think we received a generic tender via email to show us how it would look etc but didn't get the tender until the meeting where Chris could explain it all to us. Filbert street our land registered about 4 months after we signed our tender. Gave us a chance to figure out the style and look we wanted, colours, tile selection etc so we had a really good idea what we wanted when we went to our selection meetings. Re: Building in Gregory Hills - College Release Hall and Har 91Jul 31, 2017 9:52 pm As AllyBrian mentioned, Chris presented the tender at the meeting and is then able to walk you through all the details, answer any questions, and record any amendments that may come up as you go. You can then take the tender away to procrastinate and review in further detail. Exciting times for you! Re: Building in Gregory Hills - College Release Hall and Har 93Jul 31, 2017 10:00 pm I believe it was about 14 days, but I'm not sure if it the same now as it was then. The sales consultant you've been dealing with would be able to answer that more accurately. We are building the Elyse 38 aswell. Re: Building in Gregory Hills - College Release Hall and Har 94Aug 07, 2017 8:16 pm Thanks everyone for information about Hall&Hart...does anyone knows how long have they been in the market? First home buyer here but can not find much information about them other than your useful posts. Considering Zara 31 with Guest bed at front.. Re: Building in Gregory Hills - College Release Hall and Har 95Aug 08, 2017 12:46 pm Hi all. We signed our tender in the last week or so ...also building the Elyse. Exciting times ahead. But the choice is slightly overwhelming! CKbuild, they give you 2 weeks to think about things before you sign up. I have also been dealing with Chris at the tender stage who has been very good to deal with. Re: Building in Gregory Hills - College Release Hall and Har 96Aug 08, 2017 1:00 pm Hi erikaom, I believe from my research that the Hall & Hart name may be relatively new, but the directors and staff are all highly experienced from well regarded builders. When we signed up they seemed to base some of their approach on some named high quality builders, who had an excellent reputation in the market . From speaking with them, they have a focus on only using really good Site Supervisors, and making sure each SS only manages a small number of homes at any one time. I thought that was a great point, as they are the ones who control and take responsibility for the build of your house at the end of the day. Re: Building in Gregory Hills - College Release Hall and Har 97Aug 08, 2017 1:38 pm Congrats Rennie on your contact signing! Really exciting times ahead for you guys! Colour, brick, tile appointments etc it was so overwhelming for us 1st timers but be confident in your choices. I don't know heaps about Hall and hart's background but they are a yr or two old Sydney based company. We were a little concerned with how many building companies go broke but our solicitor said it can happen to the bigger companies like beachworth just as easy as the little companies so as long as they have the right insurance covers we will be fine. We are extremely happy in our choice, I loved their home designs and got a really good vibe from the builders from the get go. So far Hall and Hart have gone above and beyond for us, I feel we wouldn't get the service we have received from the bigger companies. On that note I have bathroom pictures to update on Re: Building in Gregory Hills - College Release Hall and Har 99Aug 08, 2017 9:31 pm Rennie Hi all. We signed our tender in the last week or so ...also building the Elyse. Exciting times ahead. But the choice is slightly overwhelming! CKbuild, they give you 2 weeks to think about things before you sign up. I have also been dealing with Chris at the tender stage who has been very good to deal with. Congrats Rennie on signing Tender. We had our first tender meet yesterday with Chris and there were quite few things missing so he will send revised tender with plan. I feel there site cost is on higher side. Re: Building in Gregory Hills - College Release Hall and Har 100Aug 08, 2017 9:56 pm Hi ckbuild, Maybe you do have another tender already, but thought I'd point out that for us, it would have been difficult to gauge site costs for our own block, except we already had another tender to compare to from Eden Brae. Our Eden Brae tender was ridiculous in comparison. Some items where almost 3 times higher. So we were quite happy with the site costs provided by Chris. I imagine some of the items are provisional aswell? For ours, we actually received multiple credits back at a later point, but every case is different.
