Your soil looks totally different to ours and you're really not too far up the road. Looks sandy?? Ours is clay. I think landscaping will cause us some grief.

Re: Our build- Henley, Monaco lux 2 in bayside Melbourne KDR 167Jun 09, 2016 8:20 pm Modern12349 Hey, I'm building with plantation homes in qld. How long did it take for your Henley build sign to be put up on your block after council approval? Hey modern! I actually don't know.... Maybe my timeline photos will help....,we had a pool shell poured so our pre build was a tad different to others as we had to have the site surveyed and more soils tests done after that as the soil had been disturbed i think it was like 6 weeks though Good luck with your build!

You said it! I didn't think they could do it in a day but I'm impressed! viewtopic.php?f=31&t=81627&p=1505759#p1505759 Re: Our build- Henley, Monaco lux 2 in bayside Melbourne KDR 171Jun 09, 2016 9:31 pm They did ours in a day too! Great to see things rolling for you. I know how excited you must be. Won't be long before you have your frame and roof up. I think that's when we started to call it 'the house', rather than 'the block'!! viewtopic.php?t=81336 Building with MainVue...Modified Ivory 436...our journey Re: Our build- Henley, Monaco lux 2 in bayside Melbourne KDR 172Jun 09, 2016 9:38 pm Awesome!

He is going to go crazy when he sees an actual house on our block it's so funny trying to explain to them what's going on viewtopic.php?f=31&t=81627&p=1505759#p1505759 Re: Our build- Henley, Monaco lux 2 in bayside Melbourne KDR 176Jun 10, 2016 11:09 am Totally...

The concrete trucks were there this morning so we are walking past after kinder this afternoon to see it all finished.
