Browse Forums Owner Builder Forum 1 Oct 14, 2009 1:09 pm Have just put a deposit down on out kit! It is the initial deposit to get the drawings & paperwork for another approval by council before the next payment, to start manufacturing. We went with colourbond Deep ocean externals with the guttering in Ironstone. I'm getting excited now! "A dream you dream alone is only a dream.

Wheels Are In Motion 7Oct 22, 2009 7:54 am Well we got our Architectural Plans in the mail on Monday. So exciting!!

Wheels Are In Motion 8Nov 15, 2009 6:20 pm Grrr, council needed independant certifiers to certify the plans, so that was $1600 and about an extra 20 working days. Won't be getting the kit delivered this year now, but hopefully January, but I'm sure council has more up they're sleeves yet! "A dream you dream alone is only a dream.

Wheels Are In Motion 9Nov 16, 2009 7:54 am Councils always seem to come up with more charges, just when you thought you'd paid them all don't they?? How did you go with the colours, were they approved? We're hoping to start just after Christmas too, so I'll be following your progress with interest Re: Deposit DOWN!! Wheels Are In Motion 10Nov 16, 2009 3:22 pm As far as we know the colours are acceptable but being a darker colour, it may effect our energy efficiency which is also assessed.

Council guy came out & viewed the area . Expecting to see something in the mail next week. Also from about 50+ emails to plumbers, we have 2 rough quotes, which are completley different! Yay! One 3-4k the other 7k. Obviously some variables there so must email them to itemise what that would or wouldn't include. I am starting to feel like we may have some real progress early next year.

Wheels Are In Motion 12Dec 13, 2009 6:03 pm Council have supplied our Plumbing & Septic Permit. Woo Hoo! Now just the professional certification. Waiting...waiting...

Wheels Are In Motion 13Jan 20, 2010 8:06 am Picking up the paperwork from the certifiers today. Also includes our Energy Effiency reprt thingy so should be an interesting read. Hopefully we can put down some more money & get the manufacturing going!! So exciting!! "A dream you dream alone is only a dream.

We must be on a similar time line, we got our inspectors certificate today My husband is a concretor and we have an excavator so he's already half dug the footings, nothing like getting started straight away lol. Re: Deposit DOWN!! Wheels Are In Motion 15Jan 22, 2010 10:37 am Woohoo! Deposit to start manufacturing is down today. Should see a kit in approx 7-8wks. Now I am REALLY excited.

Wheels Are In Motion 16Jan 22, 2010 5:59 pm CONGRATULATIONS stay safe happy building I'm curious, did they provide any reason why they did not like the idea? 1 13053 In NSW the maximum deposit for building work is 5% until the builder provides HBCF insurance 1 4821 How long is a "long period"? For a few weeks, it should be ok. It also depends on the area you live in...I would let your neighbours know that you will be away too and… 1 28572 |
