Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jan 15, 2020 12:44 pm Hi all Just thought I'd drop out of the shadows and say hi. Partner and I have a block in Griffin we are getting a Winton 26 built on...eventually. Plans are with local council since early December so hoping we get approvals back by end of month. Then the real work can start. Depressing to see the illegal dumping, vandalism and theft that occurred in the area over the Christmas break but with builders and agents back in the area hopefully some semblance of order can return. Can't believe some grubs stole 14 metal fence panels from the estate boundary fence! Tile, electrical and colour appointments commence next Wednesday, Saturday and following Tuesday. Have spent hours in the design centre (wish there was one closer than varsity Lakes...) and in Beaumonts. Pretty much nailed most of what we want. Be the first time building in over 20 years but we decided we wanted a house with our own choices and problems, not someone elses Pictures and updates as they come in.

Been advised council final approval should be through by end of week fingers crossed. Then the whole rigmarole of getting signed documents to the bank, covenant blessing and a firm start date on the block. Can't wait to start seeing some actual activity...

Hi Harweeeee Going real well to date. Cabinetry this week. Site visit this afternoon. Brickwork all done. Should be almost at lock up. Site Supervisor is really good. Place is looking like a house Ask the council if there is a chance of getting build over easement exemption. Sometimes easements are unused and 24cm is not all that much. Good luck. And yes any builder… 2 15036 Hi so sorry for the late reply. I already contacted them and they wouldn't tell me instead they tried to get me to talk to one of their home coordinators and I'm not… 2 6147 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 19849 |
