Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Oct 28, 2018 2:25 pm Hello All, This is our second build. First build was with a different builder. This Time we are trying Simonds. All so far so good except having issues with our CRC. Hopefully will be sorted out next week when we get a new CRC. Its been a long time since I have been on this forum. About 4 years in fact. Started a Blog. This is our house Design completed. After all of our changes.

Hopefully the builder can get all the permits and planning requirements done in time. This is our internal Colours. Clockwise starting top left. We went the Vinyl Flooring which I cannot wait for, the last home we built we used Laminate and it was de-laminating near the doors which wasn't nice. Also decided to go a colour splash back in the kitchen and butler pantry of the bright orange. The last home we went Azure Blue and it looked very nice.

Then once titles are released the Soil Test can be done and then plans go into council for permits.

Re: Building with Simonds Homes - Avalon 2nd Build 3Oct 19, 2019 10:15 pm well our house is well and truly nearly completed. its been a journey and a half. had a few issues but they have all been sorted out. Best thing we ever did was get the private inspector. he has been excellent in finding real issues that we would not have found. Visiting the site every day helps too, gave us a chance to find issues along the way before they became major dramas. we are currently waiting on our PCI date, all the constructions has been completed. Hope to be in before xmas. Re: Building with Simonds Homes - Avalon 2nd Build 4Nov 26, 2019 10:50 pm Private inspector number or company please ?? If he is really good .. and how much he charge Thank you so much everyone. This all makes a lot of sense. I guess when you talk to a builder who butters up everything to look very polished, you get to start believing… 7 17628 3 48409 Ask for references and speak to them.
