Re: Cloverlea Estate - Chirnside Park VIC 363Mar 26, 2014 6:14 pm Hi All, my wife and I have purchased block 1020, building a single story with Henley. Hi SandCastles76 and cc19-81, we're your neighbour! Bit concerning some of the reports re back fill! Henley advised they have been able to do final soil tests but haven't advised the outcome. Still waiting on contour survey. Will have to follow up tomorrow!!!

Still waiting on contour survey. Will have to follow up tomorrow!!! G'day AshAliD, Nice to meet you neighbour! We're also building a single with PD. Cant tell you what a relief to it is to have both sides with single storeys. Its all getting a tad exciting.... Re: Cloverlea Estate - Chirnside Park VIC 367Mar 26, 2014 7:15 pm ftdt7882 SandCastles: we are building with PD too. Have they said anything to you about soil tests? Yes, spoke to our BC today, she says she requires proof of land first. So once settlement occurs she will order soil test. Im betting that we will need a H1 waffle. Guessing that theres little to no rock, we should reduce the cost down a fair bit. But thats a guess. Keen to know what our neighbours site costs come in at, to compare etc. What house are you building? we chose the Ashdale, but did some internal chop and swap.

Our BC said Cloverlea told them they couldn't go onsite due to site restrictions, which I don't believe as others have had soil tests! What your BC said sounds more plausible. I'd laugh if they were the same person!!! We are building the Oakdale Re: Cloverlea Estate - Chirnside Park VIC 369Mar 26, 2014 8:48 pm Anyone out there know what the process is to get the utilities connected for the builders? Im told its the owners responsibility... Looking way ahead I realise but thought it was worth a mention. Re: Cloverlea Estate - Chirnside Park VIC 370Mar 26, 2014 8:52 pm Hi all, good luck with the soil test, looks like we are going to be a little behind, due to the stone wall being built at the front of our block,our soil test won't be till next week, lot 1088 anyone here got block 1087?? Re: Cloverlea Estate - Chirnside Park VIC 371Mar 26, 2014 8:56 pm Hi sandcastle, that doesn't sound correct, we built a rental in Bacchus marsh and didn't have to get connections for the builders, in our contract for this house, it's our builders responsibility, have you checked your contract?

Yeah, its vague at best. Will argue the point if needed. Re: Cloverlea Estate - Chirnside Park VIC 373Mar 26, 2014 10:13 pm Hey all, We are Lot1023 and also building a single story. Builder is Rawdon Hill. Looks like a run of single stories along this part of Sherwood Rd. Anyone here from Lot1022 or 1024? I am now very worried about what the soil test is going to uncover $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Re: Cloverlea Estate - Chirnside Park VIC 374Mar 27, 2014 8:45 am HI All, we are lot 1101, building a single story with Zuccala Homes, any one 1100 or 1102?

Re: Cloverlea Estate - Chirnside Park VIC 377Mar 27, 2014 10:32 am Hi Rhiles, what was not great with your soil testing? Re: Cloverlea Estate - Chirnside Park VIC 378Mar 27, 2014 11:07 am AlfieLarry Hi Rhiles, what was not great with your soil testing? Came back as a class P, very highly reactive soil. Due to the huge amount of fill on our block. There is 3.5 metres all over it. We were told there was only fill at the back. Haven't had our site costs confirmed yet but I think they will most likely have to pier our whole house, pretty expensive! One positive is that they said it had been compacted to a Class 1 compaction.

Hey sanna, let me know how you go with your soil tests cause i know we have fixed site costs but i would imagine to an extent? Yeah I don't know why I came to a forum. Place is full of wierdos/pedos thought internet may help but I suppose I'll try my luck with someone in person. Cheers.
