Your home is the only place I have seen with that colour brick. I'm looking forward to seeing more photos, also the progress of your entire house! Re: New House Build KDR Blackwood SA Fairmont Homes 'The Gra 62Feb 23, 2018 1:05 pm Follow pgh on instagram I’m pretty sure you will find photos of Mystique on there. But I’ll post a few other photos now aswell Re: New House Build KDR Blackwood SA Fairmont Homes 'The Gra 64Feb 23, 2018 2:59 pm Hi Dan, thanks for you posts. We are in the process of planning a KDR. Do you mind me asking how much the demo fee was? We have a huge pine tree at the front of our place and i’m Not sure whether I should be getting that removed before or leave it for the demo crew. Re: New House Build KDR Blackwood SA Fairmont Homes 'The Gra 65Feb 23, 2018 3:00 pm Love the brickwork Re: New House Build KDR Blackwood SA Fairmont Homes 'The Gra 66Feb 23, 2018 3:07 pm Infra Red Hi Dan, thanks for you posts. We are in the process of planning a KDR. Do you mind me asking how much the demo fee was? We have a huge pine tree at the front of our place and i’m Not sure whether I should be getting that removed before or leave it for the demo crew. Our demo cost was about 10500 which included all the trees including a few 15ft tall Re: New House Build KDR Blackwood SA Fairmont Homes 'The Gra 69Feb 23, 2018 6:53 pm We used Old Red Brick Co price was about 11k. They removed all trees on the property which included 3 trees that were over 15 metres tall. If it’s near a boundary fence or over hanging a neighbouring property they may not do it. Best to ask I’d say find someone who will do it within the quote for demo as tree cutters are pretty expensive. Unless you intend to keep the wood for a fireplace then maybe consider a tree lopper Re: New House Build KDR Blackwood SA Fairmont Homes 'The Gra 70Apr 26, 2018 10:26 pm So here we are FINALLY at PCI it’s tomorrow at 9am so looking forward to seeing the house finished and taking a lot of photos for you all !! Handover at this stage is 4th of May but we still can’t move back home until the flooring is finished which won’t be started until the 14th But there is plenty of work to do up til then anyway. Stormwater for one I’ll be doing that myself not looking forward to all the digging. Super excited anyway Check back over the next few weeks a lot of updates will flow through !!!

Re: New House Build KDR Blackwood SA Fairmont Homes 'The Gra 76May 10, 2018 10:36 pm Hi Em pci went great, we found a handful of minor details that needed attention like paintwork defects and other chips and scratches but only one major thing that needed to be replaced and that was a panel in our walk in robe had a screw coming thru to the outside from the draw runner. Handover we had planned to be at 2pm at our house but got changed to the Fairmont office at 830am. The appointment took 20 mins was pretty simple just signed some documents and they gave us the keys We couldn’t go to the house until after 530pm though because the cleaners hadn’t been to the house yet. We had pizza in our house with some family and walked through the house We found that the one of the light switches didn’t work at all in the lounge room we tested the globes and they worked fine Also found that after pci the gas fitter came in and installed the gas lines and caused one of our draws to not close properly. The draw has since been fixed but the light hasn’t but that’s getting fixed on Monday Also on Monday our flooring is getting started so a very exciting few days coming up. We should be moving in over the next weekend! Re: New House Build KDR Blackwood SA Fairmont Homes 'The Gra 78May 12, 2018 7:18 pm Pictures will come once the flooring starts on Monday ! Re: New House Build KDR Blackwood SA Fairmont Homes 'The Gra 80Jun 15, 2018 2:18 pm Flooring done was done a few weeks ago. We have lived in our new house for about 3 weeks now. All our furniture is done and the blinds finally got finished and installed yesterday. Pretty happy with everything but there has been some dramas with some things Fairmont have done we have 6 months after handover to iron out things our list isn’t that long but a few things are fairly bad Overall though Fairmont homes have been good to deal with you have to chase them a bit to get things done but they have fixed everything that we have asked them to will see if the 6 month follow up is painful or not If there is anything exactly you would like me to take a photo of let me know. I know some people wanted to see some specific things but I can’t remember what they were let me know and I’ll get some pics for you Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Hi, I am looking into doing a KDR in Melbourne and am contemplating using Kialla Homes. I am looking for feedback on them from others who have built with them. 0 8198 We were lucky in that our old house was so small (86 square metres) compared to the new house, they were able to take enough readings around the old backyard house before… 8 24842 |
