Browse Forums Building A New House 1 May 17, 2018 9:04 pm Hi. Just wanted to ask your experience on building with New Living homes particularly during Permit Approval for home construction. Our builder notified us 2 weeks ago that they will start processing it and will notify us once it is ready to be submitted to the private certifier, and again once the plans have been approved. Can you share your experiences with the lead time? TIA Re: Building with New Living Homes 2May 18, 2018 4:42 pm Addell Hi.

Our builder notified us 2 weeks ago that they will start processing it and will notify us once it is ready to be submitted to the private certifier, and again once the plans have been approved. Can you share your experiences with the lead time? TIA My experience with NLH is they're quite efficient in the pre construction stage. In regards to how long it takes all I can say is be thankful you can use the private certifier and don't have to go through Council like us. Our da was lodged 7 weeks ago and Council are saying it could take 14 weeks. LOL Surely a mission to Mars would be quicker. Re: Building with New Living Homes 4May 18, 2018 6:47 pm Addell yeah thats what they’re saying too. Oh so you are building with NLH too? why yours cant go through a private certifier? Our block's an odd shape corner block plus the Water Board built the sewer line through part of it. Apparantly the build has to meet certain criteria to be eligible for Private Certifier.

I am happy they r fixing all the issue I got, thanks god I went through independent inspection. or else I don't know whats missing and work done based on Australian standard. good luck.

Wiil do thanks sudu. What issues did you have? Re: Building with New Living Homes 10Jun 27, 2018 2:39 pm Addell Ah i see. When you start your construction, I’d love to hear how you go it is so hard to find forums in the internet about this. Glad you shared yours to me After much frustration with Landcom and Council my build got released to construction yesterday. Should be seeing some activity onsite soon. NLH have been very good to me so far. Re: Building with New Living Homes 11Jun 27, 2018 5:10 pm coref1 Addell Ah i see.

When is NLh starting your actual construction? Re: Building with New Living Homes 12Jun 27, 2018 5:19 pm DA from Council approved, Building certificate obtained, purchase orders completed(20 working day period). Site supo assigned, all green for go. Hope to see activity onsite very soon, maybe by the end of the week although the weather may prevent that. LOL Might by myself a weather proof armchair and position myself accross the road from my block so I can watch them build my house.

Im at Spring Farm Not too far away, congratulations. We'll have to keep each other updated. Not much happened with my build yet, they encased the sewer last Monday but hoping the excavation works to start very soon. We're building the Kirra how about you? Re: Building with New Living Homes 17Jul 06, 2018 8:41 am Definitely! We’ve been waiting for ages to get to this stage! we were told that the house will be finished by December , but i highly doubt it now! We’re building the Azalea 4 with elara facade. What facade did you choose? Re: Building with New Living Homes 18Jul 06, 2018 8:48 am ZoranaAlex Definitely! We’ve been waiting for ages to get to this stage! we were told that the house will be finished by December , but i highly doubt it now! We’re building the Azalea 4 with elara facade. What facade did you choose? Elara as well. I was told if the slabs down in July your usually in by Xmas but we'll see. I think the best idea is to take a relaxed view of the whole thing and try to enjoy watching your house be built if possible.

Yes that's what they told us too, I don't know if they will be able to put our slab by the end of July! That's all we can do I guess I would be wary. Is you site demilished but nothing else done?
