Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 321Jun 10, 2015 4:54 pm What a coincidence katmeow01 we are also building the Vogue with Dechellis we signed up for it in July last year but have been held up waiting for the settlement of our block which occurred in March this year. Now we are waiting for approvals from all the various parties then we can sign the formal building contract and do selections, then I am led to believe it is several months before they can start the build. By the way we are in Roundaway Cres. Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 322Jun 11, 2015 1:22 pm Welcome katmeow01 - great to see more little kids in the area! Anyone heard about council approvals yet? Apparently ours is due to be finalised early next week. I think then it goes back in again for final approval then we can start! Ok just heard back while I was typing this. Stage 2 approval will be next week, then 7 working days in council. They are starting the verification process now so all should be finalised at the same time and they can start building-phew! I now think we will be waiting on the bank to issue documents etc on time! lol Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 323Jun 11, 2015 1:24 pm Have some more child care gossip. Was talking with Clem this morning and he stated that the 3 blocks on the western side if the entrance had been purchased for the purpose of building a child care facility... Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 324Jun 11, 2015 1:26 pm Just looked up the vogue-it's a great floorplan!! I really like it! We are going to put an outdoor kitchen and pizza oven in eventually too! We want to put a pergola down the side to make the entertainment area bigger, we have an alfresco for now, but want a really big area. Hubby also wants a tv out there on the wall. I'd like a woodfire out there to warm it up a bit haha Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 325Jun 11, 2015 1:27 pm Chuckles that's great news for those of you who need a childcare! Would be good having it close to home Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 326Jun 11, 2015 1:36 pm Hmmmm.... I might have to keep an eye on that, would be perfect place to work so is that he same place as the proposed IGA was going to go? I'm reeeaaallllly hoping they put a supermarket up there!! Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 327Jun 15, 2015 4:13 pm We got our letter of approval today from council. Concerned though as it contradicts what the engineer said-they are saying the retaining walls need to be done prior to construction, engineer said once the houses either side had been built :/ Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 328Jun 15, 2015 4:24 pm Jakki how do I send you a private MSG on here? Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 329Jun 15, 2015 4:28 pm i think just click the pm button on one of my posts Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 330Jun 15, 2015 4:28 pm Oh no Jakki! Best go check my letterbox :/ Our build - viewtopic.php?f=31&t=77368 Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 331Jun 15, 2015 4:32 pm Brett thinks it's probably standard for council to say it? I hope so! It wouldn't really work otherwise would it! I noticed one block up there put them in ages before construction then they ripped it out! Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 332Jun 15, 2015 4:42 pm Hopefully that's right! Our builder has never mentioned that there may be a need for us to retain before they proceed - we were always under the impression that once council and loan approvals are finalised then its all go! Our letter will hopefully come this week.... Our build - viewtopic.php?f=31&t=77368 Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 333Jun 15, 2015 5:55 pm I heard from one of the locals today (her daughter goes to my centre) and her husband hears today that there's a woolworths going in... I'll keep you posted not holding my breath Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 334Jun 16, 2015 8:39 am Haha, it's so funny how many 'juicy' rumours go around that town! I remember when Stage 1 was first being sold we went down to have a look and met a local older couple walking their dog. They told us that if we built in stage 2 there would be no other blocks behind us as the farmer who owned the behind land had vowed never to sell to Devine. Next minute Stage 3 is released and a whole heap of other stuff they told us was also just rumour 😄 In the case of child care and supermarket though, I do hope it happens one day! Would be so cool to just be able to walk a few minutes to get to work treechange!!

Has anyone had quotes or already had soil removed? Our builder quoted $16k but we've found someone who will do it for $8500. Just curious how anyone else has gone with the removal... We've got 540 tonne to get rid of & have has quite a bit of interest on gumtree Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 336Jun 21, 2015 2:50 pm We haven't treechange, thats ALOT of dirt to remove! we have been quote 4k from our builder My parents have been down there today and sent me some photos. Lot 55 has some action! Lucky ducks! Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 337Jun 21, 2015 2:59 pm Oh really! How did they get so lucky?! Pretty sure they are also building with Devine... We were going to go for a drive today too!

Yep Mum said the sign says devine Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 340Jun 22, 2015 5:18 pm Hi Everyone, Have read how it appears lot 55 is getting started is anyone else close to having their build started? We feel like we are getting nowhere as now we are waiting for the estimators quote now, which should be in by about the middle of July then we go and discuss the final pricing but can't see how we can get a final price without having done selections and July is a year since we signed with this builder at the current rate can't see our build starting before Oct which by the time of completion will be approx. 2 years since we signed for the land. Start to wonder if it is all worth it! Wish you all the best. Once you signed the contract, they will find millions excuses to charge you.
