Building with Dale Alcock in Ashby, WA https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=66684 Re: Take Two - Calleya WA - Waiting for titles 13Feb 24, 2014 11:50 pm Congrats on securing your block! We just secured a block in the 2nd public release this weekend just gone. This is our first build so it's quite scary. We have been looking at displays for about 18 months and fell in love with a Dale Alcock design which required a fairly big block. We managed to secure a 601m2 block which fits the design but it seems now the design may be out of our price range with all the finishing's etc. We are now looking for some more idea so if anyone has any floor plans that might work for us we would welcome any suggestions. Our requirements are very simple: * 4 x 2 * activity room * large living space * office (desirable but not a deal breaker) Re: Take Two - Calleya WA - Waiting for titles 14Feb 27, 2014 12:39 pm Congratulations to both of you on securing a block in Calleya, my hubby and I are desperately trying to get in there. Any tips on getting in quick? We couldn't have possibly registered any faster than what we did, I guess we should just keep trying and keep our fingers crossed We fell in love with a Summit Homes design, The Aloha, its displayed in Aspiri in Piara Waters. I love the floor plan but as displayed it is quite expensive, the sales woman suggested starting with the base model and add the extras we want rather than have all of the fruit and blow our budget. We also looked at another home in the estate by New Generation Homes which is also part of the Summit Group it was called the Pebble Beach. It was a smaller home on a smaller block, 4x2 with activity room and home theatre. Living area was probably a little smaller than what I'd prefer but still a lovely design, as displayed it was more than $100K cheaper than the Aloha. Given you have a larger block you could always increase the size of the living area? Good luck finding a design! Re: Take Two - Calleya WA - Waiting for titles 15Feb 27, 2014 7:55 pm I have no idea how we managed to secure a block. Our internet speed is really slow but somehow we managed to click first. If they do the same for the next release I would say just be prepared. Be at the computer when the email comes in and click the link asap. We were told the first public release was all over in 10 seconds!! There is supposed to be a release every month so just keep trying. We also loved the Summit Aloha but it was our of our price range too. The Pebble Beach has been our back up and the $$$ saved means we could probably push out the living a bit. The only downside is the Master being straight off the living area. We have found a Ross North design which we think might work. http://www.rossnorthhomes.com.au/our-ho ... -ashburton Good luck with the land hunt!

I suspect it will have a lot to do with when you registered on the list originally - assuming that when they do the email out it will send from first registered to last - and with potentially thousands of names on that list there could be a 20 second delay between the first and last person. Best suggestion is to make sure your on a fast computer on fast internet connection and just be ready. I think i had clicked on the link and registered within about 12 seconds or so of receiving the email, yet i was still the 41st person on the list!

Re: Take Two - Calleya WA - Waiting for titles 19Mar 09, 2014 11:59 am Hi, I have just joined this forum having recently purchased a block at Calleya in the first release. Our block is 375m (15 x 25m). We have been looking at house designs that will fit on these smaller blocks and have decided to go double-storey so now looking at 101 Residential and Ben Trager Homes. Interested to hear if anyone else is considering double-storey.

Interested to hear if anyone else is considering double-storey. Congrats on getting a block! I considered both 101 and Ben Trager (as well as the cheap APG two story homes) with the intention of going two story, but in the end decided against it. When i crunched the figures i found i was getting much the same floor space over the two stories as with a single story, but with a lower quality finish. Most of the designs in my price range were basically a smaller single story house with a single room upstairs. Plus.. stairs can be a bit of a pain in the butt in general. Joe, it depends on your certifier but we are noticing the ones we deal with are really cracking down.

Cheers 2 9030 Hi Mofflepop, I would recommend finding a building designer to prepare plans, they should design to your specified budget. The benefit is you can tender the project out… 9 20432 |
