Cant decide
I have these things included in my fixed site costs.




It says Suspended Slab - included, this is another term used to describe a raft slab. You are covered for slab upgrades. This is a standard fixed site quote.

Hi Sumit, can't decide is spot on. If your site costs are fixed, that will be the final price. Henley will have to wear any extra costs if they didn't allow for them but they would have covered themselves when working it all out. They've just added the extra 6 star provision incase the raft slab affects the energy report and you don't get a shock later on if it is needed. I got my provision back in full as the report said my house was 6.4 and didn't need anything extra done to it.

Just read your attachment and it all looks pretty standard. The two things that you will have as provisions in your tender which is mentioned in your excluded costs will be the re-establishment survey ($885) and the 6 star cost. Anything else and they would have told you about it by now because it would have been added to your tender to accommodate seeing as they have your soil report now




Hi sarzaa
Really appreciate for your guidance .
It really takes my stress away.
Hope everything goes well 😊

I think we are 4-6 weeks away from slab!
We chose darbecca as our site inspector .

Hey! The house is a day or two off being finished. Shower screens, mirrors and splash backs should be going in tomorrow. SS did his inspection a day ago, and looks like they are fixing a few things as there are yellow dots everywhere lol. The house was cleaned yesterday and the fences came down today. I was told I have NHP the following week
Hopefully I can get better pics tomorrow.

Thanks! I'm really happy with everything and Henley so far. They are super thorough now with their own internal inspections.

Yeah NHP has been booked for 26th May, so all going to plan it's been 3 months and 2 weeks to be exact lol.

Hey! So I had handover last Friday and I'm all moved in now. Appliances are being installed today
How's your build progressing?


Very dissapointed with the land release process i think theu will extend that to feb 2018 again. Original was june 2017. So comstruction start is no where near. I will have to pay builder monthly 900 delay for delays past november. Not sure if developer should compensate for it ?

Please post new pics of completed house very keen to see how everthing turned out

That is very annoying! Have they done anything on the land yet, like cut out for roads?

Yes I will post pics soon, just so much too do unpacking and finishing things off

Here's a pic of the kitchen. Still unpacking the rest



As for your land, how long ago did you purchase it? Have they received all the permits they need?

Reason being, in the SE we have an estate called Brompton and they can't get permits from the council. I had originally bought land there 2 years ago and it kept being delayed but we weren't told why. 2 years on and still nothing!
