Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 341Jun 22, 2015 6:14 pm Oh Vogue! Wow, that is terrible!! Who are you with and what plan is it? I believe ours is being released to construction this Friday so site works will start next week Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 342Jun 23, 2015 5:19 pm Thanks Jakki. We are building the Vogue with Dechellis unless I get too fed up and cancel it. My husband was at Meadows today and said earth works were also being done on Mahalia's block, great news for you all that are starting soon as you should all be in by Christmas. Dechellis are now going to get a big hurry up and if they don't want to move faster we have another builder who will. Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 343Jun 23, 2015 5:29 pm Oh really Vogue?! That's awesome! Might have to go for a drive and have a little peek It seems a bit backwards that you've been in the works for so long now and have not even done your selections? I didn't think the estimators quote should take that long either... We added about 10k on in selections but it all depends what is include and the pricing! Soooo frustrating that it's taking so long - I would be annoyed too! Is there anything that can be done to hurry them along? Our build - viewtopic.php?f=31&t=77368 Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 344Jun 23, 2015 5:53 pm We had the call today, site works start tomorrow!!! Finally!!! Also we've got an even better deal on our soil removal so it'll be less than a third of what the builder quoted! If anyone wants his details I can PM you Hope you all get started soon as well... The waiting game sucks! It's been almost 12 months til the day when we settled on the land, mind you 6mths was finalizing the plan! Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 345Jun 23, 2015 6:06 pm OH wow that's awesome Mahalia!! Did you know they were starting?! how rude if they didn't tell you lol! You are patient vogue, i'm not sure i could be that patient-none of that process should be taking that long. what do they estimate for their build time? congrats treechange! super exciting for everyone!!! could you please pm me your soil removalist? our builder is doing ours but i might see if we can change that if it saves money. we dont know how much they are removing though Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 346Jun 23, 2015 6:10 pm We had the call today, site works start tomorrow!!!

Our build - viewtopic.php?f=31&t=77368 Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 348Jun 23, 2015 6:12 pm haha wow! That's funny. I'm keen to see it too lol! Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 349Jun 23, 2015 6:18 pm Haha! We haven't got our final council approval (as far as I know!) or our final bank approval so I'm sure they won't go too crazy How did you guys find out about soil removal? Is it just something the builder does then bills you for it? I feel so clueless! Our build - viewtopic.php?f=31&t=77368 Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 350Jun 23, 2015 6:21 pm It's great that they have started-saves you some time! We have been charged $4400 for soil removal, by the builder Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 351Jun 25, 2015 9:50 am We have our full council approval now and our builder said it will be released to construction tomorrow but can take up to 2 weeks for them to cut the block Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 352Jun 25, 2015 3:38 pm Oooh Treechange- just went past and saw them digging your block! How exciting! You must be so be so relived and excited it's finally happening!! Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 353Jun 25, 2015 3:42 pm Oh fantastic thanks Jakki! They were supposed to do it yesterday so our soil removalist was there for 4 hours waiting this morning and they hadn't started, so that's resulted in a bloody $600 stand by fee we have to pay! We will be passing that onto the builder as they told us and the soil removal guy to be there at 8am! We just flew in from cairns this morning so we're going to head up there now can't believe it's finally happening! Hopefully we can all be in by Xmas and have our first Xmas street party Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 354Jun 25, 2015 5:41 pm Ooh exciting treechange! Lovely news to come back from Cairns to (except for the $600 fee!!) Christmas street party sounds great! Thanks Jakki for taking some pics of our block - still can't believe it's actually happening Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Our build - viewtopic.php?f=31&t=77368 Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 356Jun 25, 2015 11:07 pm Treechange that's really frustrating. Definitely pass the bill on! Anytime Mahalia It's very exciting! Loving the sound of Christmas street parties! Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 358Jun 27, 2015 2:24 pm So exciting treechange - glad it's all happening for you finally! Have you been assigned a site supervisor who tells you what is happening and when? Our build - viewtopic.php?f=31&t=77368 Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 359Jun 27, 2015 2:28 pm We think it's a guy called Matthew but waiting on confirmation. It's odd because the contractors who cut the block called us to tell is it was happening, then the guys doing the footings called yesterday saying they start Monday. Apparently the slap could be laid as early as the end of next week!!! It's all a bit confusing. We've seen a few houses go up really quickly... Hoping ours is the same but want it done properly too! Re: Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA? 360Jun 27, 2015 2:38 pm Haha, it's all a bit confusing isn't it!? Noone told us our cut was happening so that was a nice surprise 😁 Yeah I feel, the same - I think Devine are keen to get their houses done really quickly but I want it to be done properly at the same time!
