Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Building the Bella with Homes by CMA in North Harbour, S 141Apr 01, 2017 3:52 pm Hi lovely, I am also building with Homes By CMA in the same area - just me (no partner ect) so it has been very challenging. Also my first home. I am at about the same stage as you! I don't hear from P anymore but I do hear from another member of Homes By CMA regularly which is really reassuring. I have had no problems really thus far, just with the bank. So I am just waiting for the letter of commencement from the bank. I am building a version of 'The Endeavor' I think it might be version 1.2 or something along those lines. It will be great to follow your journey! Fingers crossed that we both receive our letter of commencements soon. Re: Building the Bella with Homes by CMA in North Harbour, S 142Apr 03, 2017 12:48 pm maddielouxx Hi lovely, I am also building with Homes By CMA in the same area - just me (no partner ect) Hi Maddie, I'm so pleased you popped your head in to say hello! Great to meet someone else building in a similar situation I look forward to hearing more about your build. Re: Building the Bella with Homes by CMA in North Harbour, S 143Apr 03, 2017 12:50 pm So I didn't have time to update on Friday, but YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY I got my Authority To Commence letter from the lender on Friday! They sent it straight to the builder so now I'm just waiting on them giving me a commencement date... fingers crossed maybe site works will start next week? I think they're supposed to start within 10 days of getting the ATC, not sure where I read that but somewhere... anyway, it's all systems go finally! Re: Building the Bella with Homes by CMA in North Harbour, S 144Apr 10, 2017 1:59 pm So it's been 10 days since they got the ATC and I still haven't heard a peep from them about when I will get onto the builder's start list, or get my Site Supervisor etc. I was told I have been assigned a SS and he was supposed to call me on Tues/Wed last week. I still haven't heard from him. I'm getting frustrated again. What's so hard about communication? Re: Building the Bella with Homes by CMA in North Harbour, S 145Apr 10, 2017 2:02 pm It appears they are all the same. Poor communication from project home builders seems to be an industry wide problem. Re: Building the Bella with Homes by CMA in North Harbour, S 146Apr 10, 2017 2:08 pm My bank have told me they have sent the letter of commencement too, so I guess we are both in the same boat. Has it really taken 10 days? Golly. I feel like both of us are going to have 'Easter' used as an excuse. Here's to positive thinking that we both hear from them soon! Re: Building the Bella with Homes by CMA in North Harbour, S 147Apr 12, 2017 10:36 am So my letter of commencement has been received by CMA and I was told yesterday that they are in the process of assigning me a SS. No doubt I will get the same as you scubabe as he probably does all of them in Narangba.

Hi Maddie, maybe it's time to start your own thread so you can post up your floorplan and colour selections etc? I'm dying to see! Re: Building the Bella with Homes by CMA in North Harbour, S 149Apr 13, 2017 7:24 am So I still haven't heard from the SS yet but that's okay I have figured out why... he's on holidays But I have been given some dates finally! Site cut starts next week and slab pour is tentatively booked for 27 April yay! So excited I can't wait to have a slab and get more of a feel for how my house will sit on my lot. I have a nice long weekend for Easter this week, and then a second 4-day weekend next weekend, and when we get home from the second trip it will be time for a slab party YAY. Can't wait for my slab, and then my frames, it will be good to see my house "in person" finally Re: Building the Bella with Homes by CMA in North Harbour, S 150Apr 13, 2017 7:31 am I unsubscribed from your thread and missed all the action lol.

I was actually given your details by homes by CMA by mistake, so I thought mine was going down now, but it was actually yours. I am still a week off because they gave me the details of your SS not mine. Re: Building the Bella with Homes by CMA in North Harbour, S 155May 01, 2017 6:46 pm Lol I'm looking on my mobile and the pics all look upside down? Hahaha are they like that for anyone else or just me? I swear theyre the right way around on my laptop!

Upside down majestic35.weebly.com Re: Building the Bella with Homes by CMA in North Harbour, S 157May 02, 2017 7:28 am That's really strange because the images themselves when I open them in a photo app, are the right way round. And when I view this thread on my laptop, they're the right way around. It's only on mobile they're upside down. Bizarre! Re: Building the Bella with Homes by CMA in North Harbour, S 158May 09, 2017 11:19 am So the slab was poured on a Saturday. Frames delivered the following Thursday. The entire house was framed, including roof trusses, and wrapped, on Friday! I went to stickybeak on Saturday afternoon and voila, there was a whole entire house! We had a walk through the frame, I got to finally show my partner what I'd envisioned for months now, and I got all overcome and emotional and had a little sob. I've worked so hard for this for years and years now, and finally, I can see my dreams becoming reality. I'm really sad about the lack of communication from the builders, the only time I hear from them is when the accounts lady sends me another invoice, she's on the phone 30 seconds later asking me to confirm I've received their bill... but when I have questions or queries nobody replies to them. I'm yet to meet my SS, though after 3 voicemails and 4 text messages he FINALLY returned my call, promised to email me through some stuff and then promptly didn't do that and has gone back to radio silence again. But the house... the house is coming along great guns I've posted a new thread about a boundary question I have, would be grateful for any advice in there? Re: Building the Bella with Homes by CMA in North Harbour, S 159May 09, 2017 11:26 am Wow that sounds like it all went up super quick but... where are the pictures? 😜 Our build thread with Smart Homes for Living in Wellard https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=86092 Re: Building the Bella with Homes by CMA in North Harbour, S 160May 09, 2017 11:33 am Hehehe I have tonnes, will add some tonight, it's a bit busy at work at the moment May I ask why you chose not to use GJ Gardiner?
