Received my site start date! 21st August! woohoo! Home owner in t-minus 9 months. (Or hopefully much faster than that!) Re: Metricon Sentosa 52 Modified 109Aug 14, 2019 7:04 pm congrats on the start news.. keep a look out for the blue dunny! Re: Metricon Sentosa 52 Modified 110Aug 16, 2019 12:24 pm Thanks guys!! Right now, I'm shopping around for independent inspectors. What are the required stages ? I've been told at the minimum I should have 3 checks? Pre-slab, waterproofing and pre- handover? I've received quotes of between $1200 - $1550, is that reasonable? Any feedback would be much appreciated! Re: Metricon Sentosa 52 Modified 111Aug 16, 2019 8:41 pm I did slab, frame and pre-handover. Different people recommend different ones, but those were what was recommended to me. I paid about $1300 for those three inspections. For slab, frame, enclosed, fixing and pci I was quoted about $2-2.4k between the 3 inspectors I spoke with Re: Metricon Sentosa 52 Modified 112Aug 18, 2019 1:29 pm KingTaco I did slab, frame and pre-handover.

For slab, frame, enclosed, fixing and pci I was quoted about $2-2.4k between the 3 inspectors I spoke with I see! Thanks for the heads up! Was as the home show in Melbourne just now. Quite surprised, some of the decking options and glass fencing was a lot more reasonable than I thought it was gonna be. Re: Metricon Sentosa 52 Modified 113Sep 08, 2019 9:40 pm Slab is done and they just started with the framing! And I bought my first car ever! lol, I couldn't deal having to visit the site all the time by public transport. Seeing as how I'm broke from buying the house, bought a really old second hand nissan. It's in amazing condition and best part is it sits 7 people! Hope you guys enjoy the pix! More site visits now that I've got a ride. lol.Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ The frontLike ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Side yard is smaller than I thought it would beLike ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Backyard is a tight squeezeLike ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ My lil corner plot of heaven Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Metricon Sentosa 52 Modified 114Sep 08, 2019 9:53 pm Yesssssssss finally.

Lol Re: Metricon Sentosa 52 Modified 119Sep 09, 2019 10:57 am dulie It's all happening! Love the cube!! Haha love the cube too.
