The builder, house plan, colours etc have all changed now but I haven't updated it with the new stuff yet. I was waiting for our drawings to come back before I put up the plan, but may as well. The plan is from a bigger builder but they share plans with the local builder we're using. We have been told we will be building in July, which is good! I am so over it all and just ready for some action! Our change to the smaller local builder has been the best decision yet, however having done it we have a smaller garage, alfresco and one room less. Not rushing through this time is a good idea, as then you can make sure everything is spot on. Re: Our First Home - Local Builder 180Jul 02, 2017 10:43 pm Hi everyone, Sorry for the lack of updates, it simply because there aren't really any updates! We received our contract on Friday which I've sent to our broker. We will be selecting tapware, doors and confirming facade choices next week. Once we have signed contract and selected those we should be underway. Our builder books in three selection appointments. They are roughly: 1.external and plumbing 2. Flooring and appliances 3. Benchtops and paint Once the first is done they start the build. They said it will be a 175 day build, they don't rush but are also delivering houses 4 weeks ahead at the moment. Our estate is crazy busy, about 8 houses going up at once in the street (only one street in the estate). Building has started on either side of us. I like how the fences clearly define where our block is. We met one of our neighbours they were awesome. Gives me good feelings!
