Site start 11 July 2017 Re: Building our dream home- Fairhaven Queenscliff in Riverw 57Feb 25, 2018 5:43 pm OK so better update again. While it might seem like not much has happened there has been a fair bit of work going on. The brickies are still going, they got held up by the chrsitmas new year break and waiting on scaffolding to be delivered. Now they just have window sills to brick and the alfresco to finish which should be done within the next week. After that the eves will go on and then the house will be cleaned and the site cleaned up and scaffolding to be removed. I have learnt that there is a fine art to bricking a double story and keeping the walls level and square across the height and span of the house. It is actually a lot hard than it looks when you drive past and what them work. Darbecca said the brick work is some of the cleanest and neatest work they have seen this year which is awesome. Inside the cabinets and bench tops are in and we couldn't be happier with our choices. The skirting are in and the plaster and carpenter are back to finish of the rooms ready for painting. And before you ask, yes the plaster was done around christmas time but when the temp ladder came down there where areas that needed fixing as well as all the small dings that occur when moving stuff in and out of the house (like cabinets). The waterproofing is completed (well i think it is cause something there but it may still need another coat, not sure cause im not water proofer) We are now waiting on the painting and flooring to go in, the electrician and the final fit out and we will be done. We are so close now the wait it killing me. It will be worth it to get our house when its done.

I'm really picky because i have OCD so can get very particular about some thing especially line being straight. I am very happy with the quality of work we have gotten. If there have been any small errors they fix them right away. I would definitely recommenced them as a builder. If i were to build again i would choose fairhaven again. I found they very easy to work with and as long as you have realistic expectation you will be. I do recommend you get a private inspector like Darbecca to do a few quality inspections as you go. Not because there were problems but because it gives you piece of mind and make the trades work extra hard to make sure its up to scratch. Good luck Land deposit 14 Nov 2015 House deposit 4/9/16 Land title 15/5/17 Quote signed off 28/1/17 Colour selection 21/2/17 Tender appointment 28/3/17 Developer Building approval ???

This is our third build and our second build left us a little scarred so we have been a bit apprehensive in going with another mass production builder. Be sure to post a few pics when you have the time. I'd love to see what you have created! Good luck and hope handover comes quickly.
