Is anyone else close to starting the build? Sorry to hear about your CS Rep, we were pretty lucky with ours thankfully.
What was your start date initially?
Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Fowler Homes Catalina 23 - Oran Park 61Oct 28, 2017 6:31 pm Lara21 We are about to start! Our Site supervisor called this week and they are starting our build on Thursday. My husband is off work as we had a baby boy last week so we will head out to the block to see them start the benching next week. So excited that its finally starting!

Re: Fowler Homes Catalina 23 - Oran Park 62Oct 28, 2017 6:37 pm It is all such a long process hey, we got our Authority to Commence Construction letter from the bank on 4th October and then Fowler gave us the commencement date of 1st November. Where are you guys at with it all? Re: Fowler Homes Catalina 23 - Oran Park 63Oct 28, 2017 7:02 pm Lara21 It is all such a long process hey, we got our Authority to Commence Construction letter from the bank on 4th October and then Fowler gave us the commencement date of 1st November. Where are you guys at with it all? We havent even got a fence yet and our land has been registered for over 5 months. Our selections were completed last year....their processes are ridiculous and considering the money weve invested, the responses ive gotten back from my cs is just absolutely infuriating.

Wow I didn't realise you did selections last year!? I don't blame you for feeling that way!

Re: Fowler Homes Catalina 23 - Oran Park 70Nov 10, 2017 11:07 am I've been told that FH doesn't do polished concrete, and it has to be done after handover? That seems odd as the concrete colour & aggregate for the slab would need to be chosen... consultant got confused when i asked about polished concrete, she asked if i was referring to epoxy flooring.. lol..

Re: Fowler Homes Catalina 23 - Oran Park 73Nov 19, 2017 8:40 am How long did it take between getting your fence and getting the slab poured? Im hoping ours is poured before christmas! Re: Fowler Homes Catalina 23 - Oran Park 74Nov 19, 2017 9:10 am I actually organised our fence early when we purchased the block as other vacant ones in our area had so much dumped on them. But our start date was 1st nov, benching/excavating started then and took about a week as we have a sloped block. Piering was done on 10th. Then the following week (this week) they did internal drainage, formwork and steel and waffle pod installation with the pour happening yesterday. Have they said when they will start benching for you?

Thats awesome! So do you mean ypu organised fencing externally? Gah..i had been bugging our CS to get fencing up but she kept telling me it was out of her control! Had i known it was an option to get it done ourselves i wouldve gone that path because while our SS saod he wants to get benching done this coming week...our neighbour's builder have theur roof tiles sitting on our lot which is preventing us from getting anything nore done :/ Re: Fowler Homes Catalina 23 - Oran Park 76Nov 19, 2017 1:02 pm I had organised it through Fowler but it wasn’t simple, we were told it was tricky as I think they hire the fencing in 3 or 6 month blocks. How frustrating with the roof tiles, seems quite common for blocks alongside each other to do this type of thing. Our excavating took longer as there are no vacant blocks near us so had to wait for the soil to be removed in smaller batches as there was nowhere to put it. Re: Fowler Homes Catalina 23 - Oran Park 80Nov 29, 2017 5:47 am Lara21 Any updates on your progress? 🤞🏼 Just waiting on the slab which should be laid any day now! I would never build with Fowler homes. I built with them in 2021 and till date maintenance issues are pending. All their existing trades and businesses don't work with… 14 105490 Anyone built with Fowler Homes? Feedback? Especially any things concerning or negatives? Have heard some horror… 0 9288 |
