Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Ausbuild Stretton Heights - First Home Build QLD 81Aug 11, 2017 8:39 am They have started wrapping the house yesterday, wasn't expecting this at all. Thought they would finish off the remainder of the ground floor roof tiles, plumbing, electrical and windows install before they start wrapping.

Now we are a bit scared and worried after finding posts from couple months back about some of use commenting on here about the settlement with BCC and saying they can't find any street names other than Wallum St, Karawartha!? Is this still the process with the estate is it seeming like it's more of a townhouse set up than a regular housing system? Thanks ☺️ Re: Ausbuild Stretton Heights - First Home Build QLD 84Aug 16, 2017 11:05 am Allyh01 Hi all, So my partner and I decided to fill out the EOI today for lot 78 in the complex and just paid our deposit for the EOI.
