My land is not registered yet. My land is scheduled to be registered late 2017. By looking at the current development, it seems to be on-time. As long as Dahua can finish up the land at the back (near Ingleburn), then we are ontime, otherwise, it will be pushed back to Feb 2018. Dahua said all developer on leave in mid December till end-of-Jan 2018. So they are hoping to finish everything before then.

As at now, you still have time, but its best to plan ahead, there are plenty of process when you start finding builder and it takes a lot of time. as starter, I suggest to contact Dahua to understand the conditional / criteria of your land to be registered. Example: - Waiting for New Macdonald Road exit to be opened (Macdonald Road junction to Campbelltown Road). If your land required to wait for the new Macdonald Road exit to be opened, then its best for you to contact RMS / Council (Send them email and they will call / email you back) to find the schedule. Once you know the schedule, you can plan ahead on when to start select builder. If you have limited budget, try to find builder around Christmas or Financial Year period, they normally have new promotion during that time. Price increase is also vary between builders, its best for you to find out when the price increase will take place. some builder has price increase on March and October.

Your land 14 x 17. My suggestion, go to builder and ask them what is your maximum building size can you make. If yoj can make 270sqm building size, you may be able to use Wentworth 33 design and cut the family room like mine. FYI, you can use big design and cut room to fit your land without changing the building infrastructure. PS. Wentworth 33 by Clarendon also not fit my land due to council restriction, but I cut mine to fit.

My block : 420 sqm ( 14 x 30 ) Max building size : 270 sqm Hard surface allowance : 55% = 231 sqm Landscape minimum : 15% = 63 sqm This is why I took modified Wentworth 33, as it allows me to maximise the building size.

Can you explain the total process ? it will help us to think about the workload we have to take . it is much appreciated The high level process : 1. Select builder and design and put deposit. 2. Go to Tender stage (ie. architecture design) 3. Go to Color selection stage (ie. shopping around for color, tiles, kitchen, electrical, etc) 4. Finish. The detailed: 1. Builder and design : - If you know your design and builder, it takes only 1 day. If you are not sure, it may takes as long as you want. So, better start shopping around now. This is the longest time. - When you select builder, the consultant will help you to alter the design based on what you want. - It takes me 3-4 months to find the right design. (Find design, alter design myself, get a rough quote) 2. Tender Stage : - Once you put deposit, you need to wait at least 1-2 weeks before they can assign you to assist you and book your appointment. - Normally, it takes 1-2 months from the time you put deposit. - Once you go to the appointment, they will explain and go through the design again with you, this is your time to alter your design (if you missed out at the first place) 3. Color Studio : - Normally, it takes about 1-2 months after your Tender Stage. - while waiting, understand what you want for colour, quality, theme, etc. - Normally, it divided into 3 stages (depend on builder) : Colour Selection, Tiles and Electrical - Colour selection takes approx. 1 day - Tiles takes approx. 3-4 hours - Electrical takes approx. 3-4 hours. 4. It takes about 2-4 weeks for them to prepare / compile your variation and then wait for your land to be registered. PS: They will fast track your process if your land is soon to be registered.

Most builder normally use CDC for council approval and its already included in their price, but you will confirm it with them. - Getting approval from Council may takes weeks. CDC only takes up to 2 weeks. As far as I know there are not many builders do custom design and the warranty is scary. My suggestion is to pick a design from builder range and modify it to suit your land.

Studio will take the burden off from me paying the loan repayment. its a perpetual investment . as a first home buyer it's not easy to pay 1000 dollar per week as loan repayment .
