I might check out the 720 size to see if I like it Build thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=66238&p=1053710#p1053710 Re: Our Build: Dennis Family Homes "Oxford" 7Jul 30, 2013 11:13 am Have you included a door between the garage and the entrance hall? Otherwise you'll need to go outside again once you've pulled into the garage (I may have missed something). I like your carpet colour, that will look great.

Am I in a position of asking what the site costs will be now? Or do they not know until the contract is ready to be signed? they advised in the prelim contract there is provision for $10,000 specifically for site testing and was advised it's "never more than that" hoping we save a little!

It might be a good option to look at while you are in the planning phase.

Our next house we will have something like this, but because this is our first home we have to keep the finance down to a minimum so i doubt we would be able to include it this time round, but it is definitely something i would like to do in future Build thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=66238&p=1053710#p1053710 Re: Our Build: Dennis Family Homes "Oxford" 12Jul 30, 2013 7:51 pm This is the type of colour scheme I will be leaning towards: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ This pendant will be in the master bedroom: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ This one in the living: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ This one in the hallway: http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x271/gootza/IMAG0247.jpg Build thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=66238&p=1053710#p1053710 Re: Our Build: Dennis Family Homes "Oxford" 13Aug 05, 2013 8:43 pm Some more selections!!

We're also building with Dennis Family in Bendigo, we are building the Hastings 242. Where did you do your tile selection? I love your choices!! Your block looks lovely, nice and flat, how many M2 is it? They won't know how much your site costs are until the contract comes back, we were also advised the site costs are usually under the 10k mark as well. Have you received a copy of your soil test? Good Luck with the build, keep us up to date!!

They were a fantastic help and really put things in perspective for us as we really had no idea haha. Our block is lovely it is 749m2 so lots of room for our doggies to run around! They're hopefully ready within the next week or so! So hopefully start the build within the next month?? Wishful thinking haha. How far along the process are you?

Hoping it all comes together as I really have no idea about colours and interior design!! Our contracts are due back in September, it's getting exciting now. I can't wait for something to start happening, I'm sure I'll be out there every day! Do you live far from your build site?

They're great with giving advice on colours, it is a fun experience! We live about 5 minutes away from our block so I think we will be there a lot also! Plus my partner is friends with one of the builders here in shepparton so I'm sure they will be inviting haha. I'm finding it very exciting already and we haven't even started yet Build thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=66238&p=1053710#p1053710 Re: Our Build: Dennis Family Homes "Oxford" 18Aug 27, 2013 8:19 pm Hi everyone!

DFH have been great from start till now and the quality work has been top notch. Our building supervisor has been great too. Some site costs may remain as provisional sums till handover. We had $2k for soil removal & $2.5k for rock removal outstanding that will not be used. Once you get the contract you'll know exactly (well nearly) where you stand. Nice looking block too, wish mine was that flat! Enjoy the process, everything happens so quick at the start but after we paid the fixing bill it has been very slow. Mind you, they are still well ahead on the schedule.
