Hi everyone!
After spending a lot of time on here looking at everyone's amazing home build's I've decided to start one for ours.
We are first home owners and first time builders (27 & 28). We are building in Bluestone Mt Barker on a 375 sqm block.
We looked into a number of builders mid last year and narrowed it down to Rivergum and D&C Homes. We compared quotes and standard inclusions and felt that D&C homes was the best option for us. They were upfront about all costs and being a smaller scale builder to the main stream ones, they were able to offer us more and can be more attentive to our needs.
We are waiting patiently for our section of Bluestone to be finished. We have been told that the kerbs are due in mid Feb and the roading should follow not long after. Hoping to be able to access the land by the end of Feb.
We have designed our own plan and finished most of our selections this week. We just have electrical and kitchen selections next week and then we meet with the interior consultant to make all the final selections like paint, doors and handles etc.
Our aim is to commence building by mid May 2016. Our builder is pretty keen to get access to the land to complete the site surveys and engineering reports so hopefully we can meet that time frame. Over all goal is to have our first Christmas in our new home with our family this year!
