Anymore updates? Were about to go to tender with adenbrook ourselves so far the process has been great but so so soooo nervous about the road ahead Re: RE: Adenbrook Homes Ballina - Austin Option B 56Mar 08, 2018 3:04 pm Hey folks, It’s been a while since I’ve updated this thread, so here’s a brief rundown on what’s been happening. Following our November submission to council, a few changes – expensive changes – were ordered by whomever looked over the plans. The builder was surprised on our behalf and managed to talk them around some of the more unreasonable requests. Our home is now drop edged beamed on both sides, in addition to the ordered retaining walls (these have become a little smaller). We’re also required to build stairs from the laundry to the ground due to the drop created by the drop edge beam. Thankfully, my brother is a carpenter. Council have only recently approved our plans, giving them the green tick on Feb 26. We’re just waiting on the bank commencement letter. The builder has given us a projected start date of April 1. Despite the hassle caused by the council, I can’t fault the builder. They’ve been super communicative and helpful the whole way through so far. Fingers crossed for smooth process ahead.
