Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jul 02, 2013 4:28 pm Hi All! I am new to the forum. Been reading through some threads and topics, great to see so much discussion and info out there. Will try to contribute to it. I'm in the process of building my first home which is very exciting Just received the building licence so hopefully not long to go now until some concrete gets flowing. I don't know how long it takes to go from building licence to slab down though. Anyone able to tell me how long I can expect? **BUILDING TIMELINE ON PAGE 2** Redink Homes in Banksia Grove Handover 13/02/14 https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=65768&p=1068366#p1068366 Re: First home, first build. 2Jul 02, 2013 4:33 pm Hey there, we are first time builders and first time owners as well! You're already further then we are though, still at council stages so far. As for building permit to slab down I think it really depends on how much work your builder has on but hopefully won't be too much of a wait for you! Would love to see some plans and pics! Good luck with your build! Exciting times.

Redink Homes NOR 17Sep 11, 2013 3:37 pm Yeah the more work that is finished the more you want them to start on Another week to wait before they do the roof. Can't imagine many outside trades getting much done on builds at the moment anyway with this weather? Pretty wild at times out there.

Redink Homes NOR 18Sep 11, 2013 3:41 pm Wow I think your whole house will be built in the time we are waiting for a slab LOL. The weather here is crazy. The minute things dry out it rains...sigh. Re: First home, first build. Redink Homes NOR 19Sep 11, 2013 5:35 pm Haha mine has gone up quicker than what I thought though. I saw your house plan and it is huge kittyranch. Probably still gathering men to help pour all that concrete.
