Re: Our first build: "Bridgewater" by Gj's Shoalhaven 66May 02, 2016 1:02 pm How's everything down your way Kym? Have you signed the contract? Are you wanting the errors fixed first or signing them having hem put through as variations Re: Our first build: "Bridgewater" by Gj's Shoalhaven 67May 02, 2016 2:36 pm Hey charli! We are signing tomorrow at 3:30. Eeeek! I still need to get a driveway and turf quote, fences and retaining wall quotes to put in with our house build to the bank so we can get unconditional approval again so as we can start as soon as we settle on the land. Our approval expires this month so need to re-do the entire app again.

Only one digger left, some Utes about and all the dirt has been 'leveled' lol Hoping our site costs don't blow out! - otherwise known as Kym - Our first build: "Bridgewater" by Gj's Shoalhaven 69May 02, 2016 4:51 pm It's looking good Kym, is the right hand side on a slight hill? Or the way it looks in the photo? I bet tomorrow can't come soon enough Why would site costs blow out? I'm so new to this Hopefully the bank side of things doesn't take too long Any word on when settlement will be? Re: Our first build: "Bridgewater" by Gj's Shoalhaven 71May 02, 2016 8:11 pm Thanks Charli and Deejay! there is a fall to the street on the right hand side and fall from the street on the left hand side. we are on the left hand side. :/ Approx fall on the land is 1mtr from front boundary to rear boundary and a slight right to left fall. ANNND we got a call this evening from our SC who also happens to be a friend of ours and she has heard from the developer's agent and the builder can now get on and do the contours but wait theres more!!! apparently the developer has submitted to council! which is earlier than expected! so by the time the council gets out to inspect, the landscaping should be completed. Oh my word! and it felt like this may never happen lol - otherwise known as Kym - Re: Our first build: "Bridgewater" by Gj's Shoalhaven 72May 02, 2016 8:14 pm Golly gosh Kym, that is so exciting!!! Kind of like Christmas morning when you're young Re: Our first build: "Bridgewater" by Gj's Shoalhaven 73May 02, 2016 8:23 pm Yay contract time and land nearly finished.

Locked in and ready to roll! I also spoke to one of the guys doing the development yesterday. It's all done and drove into our block for the first time last night! It's been in council for approx 2 weeks so hopefully shouldn't be any more than another month before it goes to lands titles. Finally we are getting somewhere! - otherwise known as Kym - Re: Our first build: "Bridgewater" by Gj's Shoalhaven 77May 04, 2016 9:49 am Love the folder! I can't wait to get to your stage. Our land is ready to go with most our neighbours already on with their build. I think we will be the last! I love nothing more than going to park outside our lot or stand on our land. Re: Our first build: "Bridgewater" by Gj's Shoalhaven 78May 04, 2016 10:05 am How long did your contract apt take Kym? I can't wait until I et to your stage!!! Did you have your contract apt with the manager or your consultant, I think our office does it with the manager well that is what I was told when I signed the quote. How exciting Kym!!! Re: Our first build: "Bridgewater" by Gj's Shoalhaven 79May 04, 2016 10:27 am Thanks everyone!! It took about 1.5 hrs. We met with one of the business owners and he went through everything. I think we will have our colours on the 17th. We were checking out all the options last night in the folder. So bloody happy!!! - otherwise known as Kym - Re: Our first build: "Bridgewater" by Gj's Shoalhaven 80May 04, 2016 11:30 am I am nervous and excited for you!
