I am thinking of vinyl or laminate throughout the house? Re: Mojo Homes 251Jul 12, 2016 3:41 pm Hi all, thought I'd join this thread as we are building the Nova 31 - really love the open plan layout and it fits on our narrow block We are now on the construction list and cant wait to get this house started. I can see some mixed reviews, all I can say is were lucky to have great service, we liked the display home in Gregory Hills, signed the tender and all our appointment have been really smooth - we did requested all appointments at their next available time slot. So far only upgrade, floor to wall tiles and tile upgrades. Hoping the build process is smooth. Our lender has given us terrible customer service and after many complaints its good to see things finally progressing. Charles Re: Mojo Homes 252Jul 15, 2016 2:26 pm hello there, we have been advised we need to do hydraulic design for complying development certificate. I assume it has something to do with storm water retention. Has anyone else had to do this? and when has the builder advised you of this. For us it was post contract, and just prior the CDC lodgement, which is seeming to push the time out. architect, blogger at homedesignedge.com, Spacesave.co and author of Guide to Planning and Building a Home on a Budget Re: Mojo Homes 253Jul 15, 2016 4:02 pm Just read through this whole thread. It's a really valuable experience for a first time builder. I'm currently getting tenders from 3 builders, for similar 2 storey homes. In the end it'll come down to price and inclusions...I guess. I've attached a copy of the Nova 32 floor plan, with the modifications we've asked for. If anyone would like to comment on the modifications or building with Mojo(beyond what is already in this thread) I'd appreciate everything Knock Down Rebuild in Lake Macquarie July 2016 - Getting tenders from Metricon, Masteron and Mojo. Re: Mojo Homes 254Jul 15, 2016 4:12 pm Hello Michael589010, We did similar changes on the ground floor adding a shower and grand alfresco. We also asked about adding to the garage, but then went away from it as it didn't work for our site. Are you swapping your bed 2 with your retreat to get better views? because otherwise would make your place feel more enclosed when you go up the stairs. at tender stage you'll get a price, but you won't get a plan that shows all the changes until the plans stage architect, blogger at homedesignedge.com, Spacesave.co and author of Guide to Planning and Building a Home on a Budget Re: Mojo Homes 255Jul 15, 2016 4:27 pm ahoythere Hello Michael589010, We did similar changes on the ground floor adding a shower and grand alfresco.

Where did you fit the shower downstairs? What are your overall impressions of Mojo? Which city are you in? I'm really keen to have some storage/workshop in the garage...we'll see. Regarding swapping the bedroom / retreat. It's mostly to give the kids a playroom with sound separation from the master and not in the line of sight for the stairs, being the messiest room in the house. Not sure if it's a good idea? It may create a sound problem being directly above the downstairs family room...who knows Knock Down Rebuild in Lake Macquarie July 2016 - Getting tenders from Metricon, Masteron and Mojo.

We initially picked Nova 32 but decided to go with 33 as it had wider entrance and came with a 1200mm wide front door and bigger rooms as well. Interesting mod to first floor. I was thinking when you walk up the stairs, you'd be walking to a wall? With that mod? Below are our plans.

Hi, Yeah, we are planning to convert HT to Bed 5 if required.

Hi, Yeah, we are planning to convert HT to Bed 5 if required. Cheers, Vithal Thanks Vithal. We are tossing up between Enigma 41 and a Clarendon design and considering the option of converting study downstairs to bedroom and ensuite. It does affect the open plan feeling of the house so wondering whether HT can serve as bedroom if needed for elderly guests. Re: Mojo Homes 260Jul 15, 2016 8:16 pm Hello Michael589010, We are basing off Nova 38, and ditching the indent to the toilet, that allowed space for the shower. Ours is in Sydney. This is our first experience of project home building. Have no issue with the service so far, its just that things take a while between departments. what you describe being separated from master and from stairs are more like attributes of a bedroom. The only thought about in place of bed 2 is its in front of the toilet door. Functionally and acoustically understand it though. The one thing I find different about Nova from others is that its got the Master naturally separated by the mini corridor. HomeTweetHome I asked for the Nova 38 and made the study a little larger to pass as a guest bedroom, but its not going to have an ensuite. I saw on the website there are mods to have master bed and ensuite on ground, but it does make the entry feel a bit enclosed. hello shams did you get onto the construction list ahead or after the tender expiry date? architect, blogger at homedesignedge.com, Spacesave.co and author of Guide to Planning and Building a Home on a Budget Is anyone building with Mojo and have a recent site cost tender 0 16318 Hi all, We are considering Enigma 46 from Mojo Homes in Gables, NSW.
