Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Aug 08, 2016 1:40 pm Hi everyone,
I've been quietly lurking and pouring through all the Coral threads and thought I would start my own. We are building a Capri 25 in Riverstone crossing. Our land is currently in at council to be registered and we have been told that it is around a fortnight away and then settlement process begins. Our contract is currently being drawn up and should be ready to sign in 2 weeks. We are hoping that as soon as the land is registered we can submit our plans to council. Apart from that we have pretty much no idea of what to expect/colour schemes/building process. Hoping I can get some good pointers from this thread Re: Coral Capri 25- First Home Owners with no idea ? 2Aug 08, 2016 1:46 pm Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ This is the original plan from Coral. We have removed the bulkhead from the family room, added stacker doors to family room, removed window from dining room and added stacker doors, filled the dwarf wall in between Children's activity room and family room and added a door between the kitchen and children's room. We are planning on having a freestanding bath in the bathroom. Added gas point to the outdoor area made some changes to the kitchen. Can't wait to get our real plans! Re: Coral Capri 25- First Home Owners with no idea ? 4Aug 08, 2016 3:59 pm Congratulations! First home builders too so we will be building around the same time. I think our houses will be around the same size. How large is your land? It has a lovely backdrop. Re: Coral Capri 25- First Home Owners with no idea ? 5Aug 08, 2016 4:03 pm Our land is 450. We have to apply to council for relaxation as the house is bigger but still leaves us with a suitable backyard for a toddler. We wanted bigger because of our dogs but the estate we are in has a off leash dog park just down the road so they can get exercised there. Hopefully ?

I'll be sure to follow your thread Re: Coral Capri 25- First Home Owners with no idea ? 10Aug 08, 2016 9:47 pm Hi, i really like the Capri design, when i saw then new designs i got excited and found lots of things i liked in the capri. My hubby said no changing our design! haha. We are building a Noosa 26 and we are waiting for our land to settle and our contracts to be ready. Have you been to the capri display? Would you be one of the first people to build it?

Would you be one of the first people to build it? We have been to the display about 4 times. We fell in love with it when we walked through. We were tossing up between the Grange and the Capri but love the fact the Capri has the activity room for our son. My husband also wanted to master at the front of the house and kids rooms at the back. His theory is that if anyone breaks in they have to get past us before reaching our son. Re: Coral Capri 25- First Home Owners with no idea ? 12Aug 09, 2016 7:49 am Hello! Not building with coral but following qld builds all the same for information so we know what to expect and what's normal. We are building with gj hoping to start very soon, have council approval just waiting on final bank approvals. P.s i like your husbands theory thats the same here and the dogs in the yard keep the back safe Re: Coral Capri 25- First Home Owners with no idea ? 13Aug 09, 2016 12:01 pm buildingonup Hello!

P.s i like your husbands theory thats the same here and the dogs in the yard keep the back safe Lol same theory here with the dogs. We have a 50/50 chance. Our golden retriever would probably offer licks and cuddles but we hope our border collie would be of assistance Re: Coral Capri 25- First Home Owners with no idea ? 14Aug 09, 2016 12:13 pm Great floor plan!
