Fabulous to hear that you have no major issues that need to be sorted, you'll be moved in no time. Thanks for the photo's. What are you thinking for lights in the stairs, entry and kitchen island? Hope you were able to source a good electrician. Thank you kjane! Yep we're pretty happy with the build quality. They've started on the remaining items and hopefully they will be all fixed soon and we'll be in! We've found an electrician who seems on the ball for a great price (PM me if you're interested in his details). We're planning to have all the upstairs downlights, fans, external lighting, entry feature light and pendant lights installed in-between handover and actually moving in. Apparently we avoid a lot of dust if we do it this way, and we get to move into a finished home For our entry feature, we are getting a Senorita 3 Pendant Light, and for Kitchen pendants we are getting three matching Senorita 1 Pendant Lights. For over the stairs, as it's so close to the entry feature light anyway, we are just having a single downlight installed. Hopefully they all tie in with the wood floors and handrails Senorita 3 Senorita 1 Re: Building with Hall & Hart Homes 258Jun 01, 2018 9:21 am kjane Some updates on our build: We got our stormwater and sewerage pricing back and thankfully had no major shocks. The sewer came in just under and the stormwater just over the estimates so pretty much evened out. For stormwater we ended up with 100mm stormwater lines, 1 x 450mm concrete pits with trash screen, weep holes, hinged grate and geotech bed, 2 x square concrete pit and grates, Absorption jumbo trenching and level spreader at rear and 2 x 6,163 litre above ground rainwater tanks. Nice to have no surprises . My landscaping plan that I did myself was Ok as well so that was a nice little saving, happy to share what I put in it if anyone is planning on doing themselves too. We are now to waiting on a couple of demolition quotes and should be ready to sign contracts in a couple of weeks and start soon after that. Awesome to hear you got through to this point without too many surprises! Seems H&H and your estimating were pretty close to the mark. You're so close to starting so quickly! Very exciting, can't wait to see your progress Re: Building with Hall & Hart Homes 259Jun 01, 2018 10:11 am kjane Some updates on our build: We got our stormwater and sewerage pricing back and thankfully had no major shocks.

That's awesome to hear there were no surprising extras on your estimates! Love your detailed landscape plan - it looks very professional! Good to know H&H are happy for you to keep a few mature trees on the land. I thought they required a clean demo on the build site, so it's good you could keep the Camellia. We are planning to keep our mature trees in the backyard too and hopefully move some of our mature trees from the front to the back. Excited for you to be starting soon!

I like that you've used the wood feature on the staircase and void balustrade along with the feature lights to link the front and rear of the house together, very classy. Agree you wouldn't want to add another pendant to the staircase otherwise there would be too much going on. Going to be such a beautiful home.
