(26 June for us!) it will be interesting to see how things go, I'm the same as you read through a lot of threads and all the trials and tribulations everyone was having, we decided for the size of the house and ( hopefully) the quality the price just couldn't be matched. I'll look forward to following your thread Our build thread: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=66620 Re: Our new build (Gemmill) - Almost at slab! 18May 15, 2014 9:47 am Hi Everyone, It's been a long time coming, but we are finally ready to go. House was demolished in January, swimming pool is in, and the site was compacted this week. Footings were meant to go in yesterday, but didn't happen, so hopefully today - then slab, and bricks, and on we go! We've had some issues with a wall between us and the neighbours which is causing some stress. (Long thread here if you are interested...http://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=70691&p=1174185&e=1174185) but that is with lawyers now, and doesn't seem to be holding up the build. So we will just have to see how it pans out. That has / is the most stressful thing of the whole build at the moment, but I'm hoping it will be sorted soon, without court! The pre start and other experiences with Gemmill have been pretty good so far. Prestart lady was wonderful, but there were some issues with our sales guy - who left, after promising us a lot of things that we shouldn't have been promised - after we signed with them, of course. Anyway, Gemmill were good at sorting most of it out - in our favour - other than an issue with the garage that cost us an additional $10 000. Overall, we are still pretty happy. No regrets. I hope it continues. Like Speedwaychick68, we are building a house that is not a display, so I still have no real idea what it is going to look like. I'm calling it "the barn", as I'm worried the roof is going to look like a big tin shed. Ah well, no turning back now, since we are pretty much homeless after demolishing our house. We are in a nice rental though. (Nicer than the original home was!) Looking forward to spending more time here again, now that we've started!!!!

So excited for you that you have finally reached construction. Re: Our KDR - Gemmill....... Almost a slab 20May 15, 2014 7:21 pm Congrats! I'm doing a KDR too, which demo company did you go with, and did you salvage anything from the old place? Thanks mate. Yeah good points!
