Grande - lucky you did follow up! i think thats the key, if i hadn't heard anything for a few days i was on the phone or email wanting to knwo why. and tehre were some instanes where my phone call actually prompted them to move along. for me its SETTLEMENT EVE! 7:45am meet our SS. Ive already seen 2 things that we didn't pick up just from walking around the outside more and taking more in. so 2 things on maintenance list already! just paint issues, nothing major. Will do walk through with SS and ensure everything from PCI is fixed. Then we have to drive to norwest 10:30am and hand over final bank cheque and we get the keys! What a year this has been. We started looking at established in GP March last year, Mother days last year we saw a display home in jordan Springs and thats when Hubby saw the H&L package in Glenmore Ridge. 22nd May we had paid our deposit. Land was already registered so no wait there. And here we are 28th April and its all done! To say this past year was stressful is an understatement. But now its done and i reflect i have loved it. the building experience is awesome, the admin sucked because i din't know what to expect. If i did it again (and i would) i think i would feel more in control as i know what to expect. Eden Brae Drysdale 27 | The Blog Re: Anyone building in Mulgoa Rise? 492Apr 27, 2014 9:28 pm Welcome Yogi! We too are selling (apartment, not house) and cooling off has just finished. Still waiting to finalise settlement date. Hope yours all goes smoothly! We have sent plans back to the builder to make some modifications and I keep picking up on more things (inconsistencies in their plans, primarily) but I really want to see a tender before we finalise any plans so I might wait a little to fix those things. Renski, settlement soon! It must be a relief to be pretty much done! Goodlife, Airy Fairy, Dreamhome + Sunrise, congrats on your: Council, piering, slab + frames, respectively. I hope there is much excitement for all of you. Re: Anyone building in Mulgoa Rise? 494Apr 28, 2014 6:24 pm Hi everyone, Was up checking everything out over the weekend. It's fantastic seeing so much action going on. No movement in our block since peg out but then we didn't help the cause either considering the week before Easter we decided to change the stairs. I got everything signed and back to them with I minutes of it being emailed but it did hold things up for a bit. Well worth it though - very very happy with the decision. Hoping we move out of pre-construction this week. I would really like to see a slab by the end of May Re: Anyone building in Mulgoa Rise? 495Apr 29, 2014 9:37 am Just got told that it's going to take another 3 weeks to get out of pre-construction. Then our 20 days will start. Not happy at all. At this rate we won't be in till March next year and that's assuming no rainy days etc Re: Anyone building in Mulgoa Rise? 496Apr 29, 2014 11:25 am Kjhosko - sorry to hear about that! The progress once everything starts is just incredible, you're truly in the lowest most frustrating stage - it will only get better We had our frame go up last week and frame for the roof yesterday. Amazing to see our home come together, our builder didn't have a display home so it's great to see life size! Re: Anyone building in Mulgoa Rise? 497Apr 29, 2014 3:59 pm Not good KJ! Do you think that's because of your changes to the stairs or have they just got alot of backlog? Our approvals have finally gone through so we should start moving forward in the next few days I hope! So much for being in by Xmas! MH have been good with communicating and trying to get us moving. Re: Anyone building in Mulgoa Rise? 498Apr 29, 2014 5:31 pm I think there is a backlog or something with the draftsmen drawing the construction plans - apparently it will take a fortnight. They have been really good thus far and I can accept that there were some delays due to changes but they were finalised very quickly and paperwork was signed and emailed back within minutes. I was really not expecting another 3 weeks considering we were pegged out over 3 weeks ago. Re: Anyone building in Mulgoa Rise? 499Apr 29, 2014 5:45 pm Far out KJ so frustrating! Be lucky to skim in for a June start at this rate! Been that long now since our colour selections that I'm now second guessing a lot of our decisions. Too much time to think. Re: Anyone building in Mulgoa Rise? 500Apr 29, 2014 5:53 pm Oh KJ that sucks Surely the slab will be the same either way. They could at least start with levelling etc Least it would be something. When they made a mistake with ours, they just had it redrawn. Maybe I should get a copy to confirm it has been done! Wish you all the best. Once you signed the contract, they will find millions excuses to charge you.
