Ours doesn’t answer her phone but she’s quick in reply to emails so I can’t complain. We have CC. Do you have the same or different? Hope it gets better soon. I know how frustrating it can be especially with no communication. Re: Manhattan 23 - Coral Homes (Pending Building Approval) 202Nov 24, 2017 9:52 am Tamara1975 Hang in there. It will all fall into place. We have been in our house for 2 months now and I look back and can hardly remember all the stress. Once everything was done it took off like a rocket and the build made my head spin with how fast it was. Fingers crossed it happens for you soon Haha, thank you! I know, I just can't even imagine being in the house at the moment I can't wait to not remember all the stress and issues and waiting.... Re: Manhattan 23 - Coral Homes (Pending Building Approval) 203Nov 24, 2017 9:56 am We got a bit of an update, so we are currently only waiting on the relaxation approval, then I believe we need to wait for building approval, so we have been submitted to council for 11 days now just for the relaxation Our CSO also said there is not much more information to provide until they hear from Council because all is going well with our BA and you would normally only hear anything if there are any issues. I don't have high hopes for building approval in November which means we definitely won't get a start date this year I was hoping we would be 1-2 weeks in before Christmas.

I know how frustrating it can be especially with no communication. Ours was fast in the beginning, but I think they are over my emails every week for updates / clarification / changes, whooops! No we have someone different Re: Manhattan 23 - Coral Homes (Pending Building Approval) 205Nov 24, 2017 12:06 pm At least you have a bit more info now Steph... what relaxation approval do you need? Council is so frustrating slow - if only our builds had some kind of link to the Commonwealth games, then I bet approvals would happen in a snap! - B A vue of the pines on the Gold Coast forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=87210 Re: Manhattan 23 - Coral Homes (Pending Building Approval) 206Nov 24, 2017 2:08 pm StephLee mj-mac4 Oh no that’s no good at all.

No we have someone different /quote] I’ve changed quite a few things. And it got to the point where I was whoops sorry. And my hubby said why be sorry it is our house and we want to get it right. It’s there job to make it all happen. And deliver customer service. Yet that is something they just really don’t care too much about. Re: Manhattan 23 - Coral Homes (Pending Building Approval) 207Nov 30, 2017 11:51 am We have just heard our building approval is expected by COB tomorrow! Wooooo!
I am a little worried because we have a pending variation that we approved via email on 17th of November to extend our island bench depth by 10cm and change our overhead cupboards to polar white so everything is the same.. but we are yet to receive the variation paperwork. I hope they don't delay our build because it is pending, it literally took Coral 4 weeks to provide us with a quote for pricing and I don't think we should be responsible for delays by them because they don't have enough staff to handle the work load. So I am prepared to fight with them on this. Fingers crossed it comes through tomorrow and our broker can get our commencement letter from the bank back by the following week, then I am expecting they will give us a start date of 8th January 2018 because it will be exactly 2 weeks until their Christmas closure.

I think I we will come take a look this weekend if we get a chance on Sunday Are you guys walking on your slab to look at everything? Super interested to see how your back yard looks as we will have a similiar sized back yard plus some side yard.

It's been really great so far, I'm honestly really surprised so far with the progress with this weeks weather but it hasn't rained today so I think we may drive past a fully completed frame this evening ! Yea we are walking on the slab it's all cured now to about 70% hardness so safe to walk/work on. We are very happy with what we have in terms of garden size... The house looks huge with the roof framing going up we just want to move in already hahaha. Very true about taking photos of the frames, I told myself I needed to before we started building! Re: Manhattan 23 - Coral Homes (Pending Building Approval) 211Nov 30, 2017 2:21 pm Our variation is due back tomorrow as well so there should be no further delays (except if the bank takes longer than a week to arrange the commencement letter) Re: Manhattan 23 - Coral Homes (Pending Building Approval) 212Nov 30, 2017 2:32 pm StephLee Our variation is due back tomorrow as well so there should be no further delays (except if the bank takes longer than a week to arrange the commencement letter) Not sure who you are with from a bank point of view but my bank had our letter to commence within 3 hours!
