You are at about the same stage as us except ours is taking longer ;( We waited four weeks for a job number, since then it's another been two weeks and no soil tested as yet. Re colours I was told that what you pick now for council is just an indication. You can change your mind at selections. Good luck coming to a decision together!

Re colours I was told that what you pick now for council is just an indication. You can change your mind at selections. Good luck coming to a decision together! Yes I was a little concerned i had to choose so early but that is correct. It is just so council get a feel for the look of your place. You can change it at final builders interview. Re: Our build with Fairmont Homes in Mallala, South Australi 15Apr 13, 2013 3:12 pm Yeah we knew that it was just that our colours were so totally different that if we went with one person's for the sake of putting something and then changed to what the other wanted it would have been a total flip. I am liking cream bricks with woodland grey roof and window frames so a grey and cream look whereas he was leaning towards red bricks which just reminded me of an old trust house in Elizabeth with a colourbond wilderness roof and what not which was odd considering he normally hates green. Anyway would be totally different if we changed to the other person's so we thought we would try to figure it out. We have just been down to Austral Bricks and PGH and had not one argument haha. I liked Austral almond which he thought was too bright but he did like Austral nougat which I liked but it was a bit greyer than I wanted. Went down to PGH and we both liked their nougat. He liked that it wasn't so bright and he liked the orangey tinge around the edges which you can see if your up close and it completely fits with the look I was leaning towards. Wasn't as hard as I thought haha just had to find a happy medium Building the Leabrook with Fairmont Homes in Mallala, SA.

We are building in the Barossa and I have lived around this area and further North since I was little-I love living in a rural area. I worked full time while doing a full time degree at uni and raising my daughter-nearly killed me!!! All worked out in the end! Our house design is similar to yours too-but we chose Austral nougat with woodland grey roof!

Due to our move at the beginning of semester I am struggling to keep up at the moment after falling behind. It is insane.

They said it would take three weeks but been longer than that now, oh well... Nothing as yet but it has only been a week and a half for us. I would be so surprised if we had it already. I will update you as soon as I get it because I will either be smiling or banging my head against a wall lol. Like most people I would rather use the rest of the budget on pretty cupboards and stuff than footings haha Building the Leabrook with Fairmont Homes in Mallala, SA.

I finished my degree quite a few years ago now so I have recovered, but it is a hard slog! Keep pushing through and you will get there...building in the middle of though...geez thats tough!!!! Re: Our build with Fairmont Homes in Mallala, South Australi 20Apr 26, 2013 1:52 pm Hi Tasha, how did you go selecting your exterior colours? What course are you doing, and what uni? I'm not building with Fairmont, but will be following your progress. Joe, it depends on your certifier but we are noticing the ones we deal with are really cracking down. So i would recommend you follow your approved landscaping plans to… 4 11067 Hi Simeon, Thank you for laying it down for us. Makes sense. Appreciate it very much. Have a nice day.
