Hi everyone,
I thought I would share our building journey with all you lovely people and hopefully it is of interest
We are first home buyer in Victoria and have created a blog to document our journey accessible here:-
http://ourfirsthomebuild1.blogspot.com.au/2017/01/we-thought-we-would-create-blog-to.htmlI will also post some photos below for you all to have a look at
Would love to hear about anyone else who is building with Simonds and their experience so far.
We are very pleased and excited for our home to be built.
Currently we are nearly a lock up stage and plaster is about to be installed.

Hey simondsbuild1, I can't see your photos but checked out you blog and omg you WIR is amazing!
We are building the palisade by simonds, we are still in the admin stage but have had a great experience so far.
Look forward to seeing the rest of you build progress
Hey Casse.f90
Thank you! A lot of people say that.. ha ha. We decided we didn't need 4 spare bedrooms (if you include study) so we decided as the existing WIR was only enough to fit our shoes in, that we would just create a door through to the adjacent bedroom and kit it out as our WIR! No excuse not to be organised and tidy now.
I had trouble posting images - do you know how you make that work? I clicked on IMG and then pasted a link but it didn't show up.
Have you gone to gallery yet? We found it very rushed and speedy, so be well researched before you in and look up who Simonds use as suppliers so you can give a product code for something you want that may not appear in the gallery.
The Palisade is lovely - can't wait to see it come to life for you!
Our electrical plan took us nearly 2 hours to do in gallery!
Yep we've gone through selections and have contract signing tomorrow.
I did find it a little rushed but I had already mapped out where I wanted extra PP's and lights etc. and had a good idea of our colour scheme. I do have a few things to change tomorrow but not a lot. (Hopefully)
I use the app Tapatalk which has an option in the comment section to add photos from your phone. It took me a while to figure it out. Although I still don't know how to stop getting emails with every notification which is very annoying! Haha

Wow love your floor plan! It makes it so much more personal when you've changed it to suit you! Love the facade too!
Hey simondsbuild1 how is your build coming along? Any updates?
Hi all, sorry I am a year late in updating you all.
This is a photo just before we moved in in May 2017.
