Hi Bronte19,

We're currently at week 14 and still in frame stage. After having just a slab for 12 weeks we are so happy to finally have some progress!

I'm glad everything is traveling along smoothly for you though 🙂

Happy to see your Frame It should move quickly from her hopefully.

Yay for a frame. I hope the rest goes quickly

I have reviewed my brickwork and I'm not particularly happy. I have quite a number of chipped bricks with the red brick exposed. Maybe I'm being picky but I find it very noticeable and I did pay ~$1400 for the brick upgrade. I suspect it could be the quality of the bricks.

Did you discuss this with your SS? Ours looked much better once they pressure cleaned it.

Wow your house is moving along so fast 😁
Are you happy with all your selections so far?

I absolutely LOVE your bricks!
I am sure they will look much better once they have been cleaned.
Think I have read that when the colour chips off that style of brick they can patch them up?

Would anyone like to share their names and info?

I will start....

I am Tracey and my hubby is Geoff.
We are in our 50's and downsizers.
We sold our house in Grovedale Geelong and are now renting waiting for our land to title in Charlemont Rise.
We will be building the Bronte 191 with the Surfcoast Facade.

Building our first home in Melbourne South - East

Yeah happy with it so far. They are painting this week then tiling next week. So will have more idea then.

I hope so. I emailed my new consultant regarding them the other day and have not heard back. I preferred my old Construction Consultant, he was good to work with and kept me up to date. I only found out yesterday by a family member that I have plaster.

I love the bricks too, they look different in different lights. They are selkirk thunderstorm.

I'm Chloe, 31 and building my first home just outside of Geelong.
I'm building the Clovelly 191 with the standard harbour facade but upgraded my bricks to cat 7 (Selkirk thunderstorm).

Charlemont Rise is a nice estate. Geelong has got quite expensive. I was looking at small established houses in the outer suburbs but they were way outside my price range. Even suburbs like Corio and Norlane have got expensive.

Hi Ben
Glad you are happy so far 😀

Did your kitchen go in?

I hope your bricks get cleaned and patched up satisfactorily. You would expect them to look brand new!

Hi Chloe 😀
What suburb are you building in?

Charlemont Rise not far from our old house. It will be great when all the shops schools community centre are built.

Did not visit our home this weekend. Been quiet busy.
Painting started last Monday so hopefully it's almost finished.
Tiling scheduled to start from 16th. Ss was supposed to give me presentation day last week but no word from him yet.
Also texted him to book walk through this Thursday.

Getting bit impatient as our SS is not replying to my texts and phone call. Our CC is on leave for 2 weeks as well. Wanted to take day off work this Thursday for the walk through but no confirmation from SS. Thinking of going to the house regardless and check out the progress.

Hi Ben

That's frustrating!!!

Especially when at lockup and can't get In.

Yeah its getting towards the pointy end so it's a mix of excitement and frustration. 🤣

Visited the site yesterday morning and sneaked in through the back door. Painting and Tiling has been finished

Happy with our color choices so far. Not so sure about the wall tiles at this stage but may be once the surrounding are cleaned, fitoffs completed they will look much nicer.

Finally my SS gave me a call yesterday and informed he was off work due to personal issues. He told me that presentation date will be 13th Nov and handover 2 weeks afterwards. Excited!
