We have pretty big setbacks front and back Follow my Coral Daydream 28 build: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=72384 Re: First build - Coral Homes Noosa 23 narrow block design 15Aug 26, 2014 10:30 am Small blocks of land - so this is the minimum allowed. Would of loved a larger block, but prices being as high as they are, had to settle for this. Not the smallest block though, there are a few 350sqm around and boy are they small! I don't own the footpath area - that's council land, so I'm right on the minimum, 1.5m from garage wall and 5.5m for driveway. It's a 450sqm block so not too large. Looks even smaller in person. Sadly no start date yet. Approval for the loan from bank but the builder needs an authority to commence from the bank and the bank is playing hardball for some reason, requesting updated contracts and what not. Builder is sighing as well, apparently this isn't normal practice. Hopefully it can be issued today, so long as the lender is working today (they were away yesterday). My Noosa 23 Build - viewtopic.php?f=31&t=72782 Re: First build - Coral Homes Noosa 23 narrow block design 16Aug 26, 2014 11:42 am I'm jealous of your setbacks We're going to have dramas when we go to council I reckon. Bugger about the bank. Have you spoken to anybody there about it? I know that's hard - when we were trying to talk to somebody about our pre approval/name change it was near impossible to find somebody who knew what was going on. I wonder what steps we will have to follow - we'll be paying cash (well, redraw on our current loan) up to 'enclosed' stage I think, but I guess they'll still have to follow the regular steps. Hopefully all this rain will be out of the way by the time you get a start date Follow my Coral Daydream 28 build: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=72384 Re: First build - Coral Homes Noosa 23 narrow block design 17Aug 26, 2014 1:09 pm Mellywil Hopefully all this rain will be out of the way by the time you get a start date Looks like it will be. Had to send an annoying letter to the bank to get them to respond. Now i am told i have to wait another two weeks for mortgage services to do whatever it is they do after they received the updated contract. I am beyond not happy right now. Last house in the estate to go up, my builder is getting anxious. Been waiting since late April this year to get started, the entire process which should be a happy occasion has turned into a stress-fest and huge let down. Time to go cool down.

- Added a nook to the feature wall next to the garage for hanging photos and what not. - Converted the linen cupboard next to the WC into a benchtop with sliding doors. Will be used as storage. - Converted the study nook near the master bedroom door into a linen cupboard. - Increased the outdoor living area by 300mm, taking the 300mm out of the master bedroom. This was done to bring the master - bedroom door partially behind the linen cupboard so you arn't looking from the front door directly into the master bedroom. - Took the Noosa25 Mk2 ensuite and put it in place of the original ensuite. This included increasing the length of the house by 600mm and taking it out under the eaves. - Added a door to the garage. - Changed the wood pantry shelves into melamine. I also wished to push the flexi room out under the eaves but this was knocked back for structural reasons.

That's only two weeks away 3 months isn't long to build a house though, I wouldn't hold your breath on being in before Christmas. Follow my Coral Daydream 28 build: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=72384 Ask the council if there is a chance of getting build over easement exemption. Sometimes easements are unused and 24cm is not all that much. Good luck. And yes any builder… 2 13781 In Qld it is a requirement that a builder must have a cost breakdown, for building a home to the same specification, with the same inclusions and the same finish. So ask… 1 4354 yes it does, you've just not understood it. theres a difference. 4 5331 |
