They said it is available now. So you won't have any issues. That is excellent news, thank you so much for letting us know. We must have lucked it getting onto one of the front streets! We were so obsessed with our windows and tiles that we didn't look at any of the Le Grew surrounds. Is the big hole on your site a new development? Re: Building The Hudson by Simonds - The Range, Melbourne 58May 05, 2014 1:41 pm I don't think so. They just left it there. There is some piping coming out of it. I'm assuming it has something to do with running running cabling to the back of the lot. I'm not sure to be honest. All I know is that there is a hole in what would be the front yard. AL had NFI about it. It doesn't look like issue. It actually looks like it is meant to be there. I just want to know why it is there. Re: Building The Hudson by Simonds - The Range, Melbourne 59May 05, 2014 1:44 pm homeontherange We went with New Home Inspections http://newhomeinspections.com.au/ because they came really well recommended to us from somebody in the industry. Typically one inspection costs around $440. For that you get the inspection, an easily understandable but detailed report with photos and recommended fixes for any defects. We basically just forwarded that report onto Simonds and they fixed/responded to each point. When we got that response we sent it back to our inspector and he said he was satisfied with the fixes. He will review them when he does the Pre-Plaster inspection as well. We'll probably do three inspections: Frame, Pre-Plaster and Handover. It's already money well spent for us Thank you for that. I have contacted New Home Inspections and will be arranging a pre-plaster inspection and probably a pre-handover. I should have arranged one earlier on. I'm expecting a call from my SS to discuss when the plaster is going on so I can arrange the inspection.
