Hi All,
I have been reading all threads and following all the blogs! I thought it is about time I share some my building journey to help others building with their building.
As the title suggests we are building a custom home with a new builder. We are building in the South West Sydney suburbs. With a frontage of over 11m it was a challenge finding a house that can fit the block! This is our first and most likely forever home.
We purchased a property in 8 years back with fibro house and moved out of it 1 year back to get the new house build. We started house design process in July and now the design is complete and we have signed build contract .Signed contracts with A in June 15. We received our CDC approval on 10/08/2015 and yet to choose our selections. Knocked down in schedule for tomorrow 13/08/2015 and builder is planning to handed over in December 15. We had few delays with getting demolition application and then disconnecting all utilities. Hope everything goes well tomorrow.
