My partner and i are building with Smart Homes for living, a modified version of "the colossus" on a 508sqm block in Byford!

We have our pre start on the 14/2/18 after many many months of organising our land, floor plans and contracts!
My first question: is there anything you’ve realised after your build of after you have signed contracts that you feel would of been a great idea to include: ie power point in a certain area ect.
2nd: for anyone who went through key start how long was the turnaround from submitting your formal application for finance until receiving notification all has been approved?
And 3: what was the rough turnaround of finance approval to slab down?
Cant wait to share more of our build once it gets started!
