Our land block is less than 300m sq. They need to get townplanning approval and this will take another 4-5 weeks extra.... I am getting anxious now with the delays... Re: Simonds Homes - Manhattan Build 13Nov 14, 2017 2:52 pm Hi puddlette, Sorry for late reply. yes the building has finally started in late September and we are nearing Lock up stage already. they are pretty quick on it. but have to make sure the quality is good too. Tell me about yrs.. how is everything going with your Build. Regards, Re: Simonds Homes - Manhattan Build 14Nov 18, 2017 12:49 pm We have just got to lock up stage too! It feels so weird seeing it all come to life! Since we did the gallery appointment August last year we kind of forgot what our colour selections looked like on a bigger scale but everything is turning out really well! I’m surprised at how good the quality is on our build considering how quickly they’re getting it done, a few little things here and there but nothing major! When did they say you’ll most likely be in by? We were told due to the Christmas break it’s looking like late January, early feb.

We were sent an invoice on last Friday and have inspection coming Thursday.. that's when I am planning to ask the handover date. But we too think due to x-mas break it will stretch up to Jan -Feb. It is so common to forget what you had chosen for your house. we too have to go through the paper works to give a refresher. But its really feeling of next level when you see all of them coming into shape. Regarding the quality, I have found few anomalies here and there which are I think minor and can be repaired. We found a small defect on ensuite door during "Sherlock Holmes" venture to the site over the weekend. We do that every weekend when there's no workers. Have to point out the SS if they still have not fixed it. Also, How is SS? Does he gives you weekly update and all?? Ours one never calls / update us. Its was us who have to book an appointment for inspections. Hope you have good communication link with yr SS. cheers Thank you so much everyone. This all makes a lot of sense. I guess when you talk to a builder who butters up everything to look very polished, you get to start believing… 7 17518 3 47414 Ask for references and speak to them.
