Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Mojo Homes 26May 28, 2015 8:40 pm Hi All Haven't been on in quite a while, but we've decided to build with Mojo - we're building the Melody 39. Feels like we've had slow progress but compared to the experience of some on this forum I think things have progressed reasonably quickly for us. We first looked at Mojo in early Feb and were provided with a preliminary estimate a couple of weeks later. We decided to proceed and paid our deposit, and about five weeks later the first tender arrived. We have since proceeded through second and third tenders as we modified the plans slightly (a couple of times), have had our first colours appointment, and were presented our Consolidated Tender a couple of weeks ago. The process has been reasonably smooth thus far, however at this stage the queries we have are no longer about the house itself, but are more related to getting it out of the ground (e.g plumbing and sewage issues that were only raised in the CT that "may" require additional works for which there are no provisions in the tender and no estimates for potential costs). Our Sales guy is very helpful, but has to take all questions on notice, correspond with head office and get back to us. We would really just like to talk to someone with some technical knowledge to give us an idea of what we may be in for. Anyway, we have agreed to proceed with certain provisos and are expecting to see plans in about four weeks (fingers crossed) We'll keep you all updated as we go along... By the way - has anyone actually started building yet? Re: Mojo Homes 27Jun 02, 2015 2:35 pm Hello Everyone We are in the beginnings of building a modified oracle, would like to speak to anyone who has built this home or are building one to get some ideas that we may have overlooked. Looking forward to hearing from you Re: Mojo Homes 28Jun 03, 2015 9:05 am We are building in Harrington Grove in Sydney sw. Our land doesn't get registerd about January/February 2016, so we have a bit of time to get everything done to our liking. We are just at the early stages of the process. We are looking at the Sheike Facade, 3 car garage and a few other additions. Anything I should especially mention or take note of, during the tendering process. Re: Mojo Homes 31Jun 03, 2015 10:19 am I would like to see how you put the fifth bedroom downstairs. we added a cabana room with a wir entering a toilet, by extending the alfresco area. Will use it as a games room/man cave extended entertaining area. we had to extend the front main lounge and bedroom 1 as well for Harrington Grove guidlines so made study bigger, also looking at puting a walk through robe behind the bed the main bedroom so increasing closest space. we are starting the tendering process from the estimates now, but will go through that with a fine tooth comb, then go through it again. yes we did get that 40mm stone kitchen promotion and kitchen upgrades. Re: Mojo Homes 32Jun 03, 2015 12:43 pm I really like the design changes you made. Might give mine another look, especially how you located the childerns retreat. How did you find the selection and pricing of electricals etc, at the mojo colour studio. we have not been as yet and we allocated funds for it, but I am a little worried we did not budget enough, or I will have to do most after handover. how did you decide on some changes based on no display home to look at that has been a bit of a worry for me. thank you for your replies. Re: Mojo Homes 33Jun 03, 2015 2:17 pm I agree with you any alterations will be done downstairs I can sort out the upstairs later. I worry more about structural items in the build the rest can be done later. Can you just pop up or did you need to make a booking. Isn't it leaving things late with pour in August and it is already June, how long did they give you for the build, the estimate time for completion they gave us from when land is registerd to move it I thought was optimistic. Reading what others have experienced. I worry more of the fact there was no display home the have a look at either. Reminds me I also liked your void area in the entrance. Re: Mojo Homes 34Jun 06, 2015 8:20 am Hi All Next appointment for us will be 1st July for approval of plans, then colour selections. We asked about a timeframe for the first time in our last meeting (we're not in a massive hurry as we are doing a knock-down rebuild), and were told we were now about three months from beginning construction, and about six months from completion. It will be interesting to see if the timeframe changes moving forward. Re: Mojo Homes 39Jun 23, 2015 6:52 pm That sounds amazing! Love your choices for your kitchen! With your bathroom tiles is there anywhere we can look at their range before our colour appointment? Which supplier do they use? That's one of my concerns at the moment, not being able to look at their tile choice properly before the actual appointment, since the colour walk through is so quick... 1 16620 Hi all, We are considering Enigma 46 from Mojo Homes in Gables, NSW. Has anyone built with Mojo and any pointers and feedback. Also, if anyone has built similar design… 0 13607 Not yet, still in pre-construction stage. They didn't want to do a split, instead they are cutting the block and asked us to put up a retaining wall to hold the cut. 2 23694 |
