Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Oct 26, 2017 2:16 pm Hey!
Me an my partner just started our first build at the beginning of the year with Aveling Homes. We started the paperwork process in February and had a few delays with finance and titles being issued. But we finally started construction with the slab going down mid September! Today we reached plate height and I'm obsessed with our black brick feature wall! The only thing I wish we would have specifically stated was that we wanted white mortar for the feature brick and not cream... but oh well it doesn't look too bad I guess! Roof carpenter is scheduled to start tomorrow! Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Aveling Homes Build 3Oct 27, 2017 4:09 pm Nice to see someone else building with Aveling! How have you found it so far? We are at the beginning, just signed our pre-construction contracts and was emailed the pre-start selections today. Re: Aveling Homes Build 4Oct 27, 2017 5:06 pm Likewise! It's actually been a really positive experience so far. We signed our pre construction contract in February - it took 7 months till we had a slab. But those delays were with other things like finance, titles issued etc... Aveling were super informative and regular updates were really helpful! Now that we're in construction we've not had any problems at all either so overall its been really smooth. Definitely happy I went with Aveling! Re: Aveling Homes Build 5Oct 27, 2017 5:20 pm Great to hear! We got titles through yesterday and hope to settle on the land in the next couple of weeks. Then it’s jusf nutting out the finer details and getting the build component of finance approved. Aveling have said they’ll do their best to get us through prestart before Christmas so we can get slab down after the break! Looking forward to following your progress Re: Aveling Homes Build 6Oct 27, 2017 5:35 pm How exciting! Wow thats so fast - Aveling definitely go out of their way to please the client so it wouldn't surprise me if they are able to get a slab down after the break! Where are you building? Re: Aveling Homes Build 7Oct 27, 2017 5:48 pm We are at Rosehill Waters which is in South Guildford. Where are you? When do they hope you’ll be in? Re: Aveling Homes Build 8Oct 27, 2017 6:01 pm Oh nice! We're in Hilbert Park Estate in Hilbert (near Armadale way) We hope to be in mid February - early March You'll have to post pictures of your progress - would love to see the plans come to life! Re: Aveling Homes Build 9Oct 27, 2017 9:55 pm I definitely will! Hoping to start my own build thread once they email me the final plans 😃 Re: Aveling Homes Build 10Oct 28, 2017 6:10 pm We are building with Aveling as well and our roof cover goes on next week. Touch wood they have been great so far. We have an independent inspector who hasn't had much to fault so far which is always a positive sign. Re: Aveling Homes Build 12Oct 28, 2017 8:41 pm Found your thread! Your plans look awesome. Love your black feature wall. Do Aveling do single course as standard? We wish HGWA did. Hilbert HGWA Build viewtopic.php?t=89433 Re: Aveling Homes Build 14Oct 28, 2017 10:11 pm No Aveling is double course as standard but their feature walls come as single course. Well that’s what we were told - but yours looks to be single course all the way 🤔 We’ve rendered the whole house because we don’t like the double course! Re: Aveling Homes Build 16Oct 29, 2017 10:08 pm Going to watch your build as we have just signed up with Aveling too. Its looking good and love that feature brick! We were tossing up between Aveling and HGWA but heard too many iffy things about them from the bad builders pages. Aveling have been fantastic so far!

This all makes a lot of sense.
