Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Building at Willowdale 2685Jul 13, 2016 8:53 pm Ewing33 RaZr Anybody who is not on a house and land package given a bal rating of 19 for their lot? If so, how are you going about reducing the rating considering the fact the whole area is going to be developed into residential very soon and will all be managed land. Hi Razr, We had an initial BAL of 19 however it was reduced to 12.5 upon land registration. Builder is Rawson homes. Thanks for your reply mate. How much roughly did you end up paying for design upgrades to your house for bal 12.5? From a quick search online, there is little difference between bal 12.5 and 19, with minor differences in glass width from 5mm to 4mm. Rest of items like doors, door frames etc are pretty similar. Also, is anyone here building at greenhood crescent facing the proposed dogpark? And have any of you living there done your bush fire rating assessment. Thank you Re: Building at Willowdale 2686Jul 14, 2016 1:50 am RobSkon Hi All, I will have to install a retaining wall against the side fence of my property in Willowdale. I'm not sure if the best option is to raise the colorbond fence and build the retaining wall underneath. The colorbond fence is already installed on that side. Can anybody please recommend a good landscaper or fence installer in the area? Also, could anybody please recommend a good driveway installer who they have used in Willowdale? I am looking for a plain coloured concrete driveway with stencilling around the edge. Thanks Hi RobScon, I'll PM you now with some tradie details.

We are about to get some quotes for fencing (we have vacant block behind us and next to us) just wondering how we go about contacting our neighbours. Council has given us their postal address however do we just go ahead and get the quotes then send them the quotes. Do we contact them before we get the quotes to let them know what we are doing? Can they say they don't want to get a fence yet? I look forward to your responses.

Thank you Hi thewillows2016, Send through the quotes to the postal address, placing emphasis on the requirement for you to secure your yard for pets/kids safety, etc, & request a timeframe for response (eg: get back by the end of X business days), otherwise you'll go with whichever quote & their apportioned cost will be forwarded with 14 day payment terms (for eg). All the best with it Pixi Sent using Tapatalk Re: Building at Willowdale 2697Aug 09, 2016 11:34 am Hey folks, just completed PCI so will be handover soon! Unfortunately there are plenty of things to do post handover so I was hoping to get some recommendations from fellow Willowdale residence. I have done my own research but I think people's recommendation of their experience will be beneficial. The below is what I have to do post handover. - fencing & landscaping - blinds - wardrobes (WIR/BIR) - electrician to replace current standard light bulb with oyster and pendant lights Thanks! Livingstone @ Leppington Re: Building at Willowdale 2698Aug 11, 2016 8:16 am Hey everyone, I'm curious to know how the bank evaluations are currently going on for land in Willowdale. Above the contract price? On par or below..? My plot is due for settlement only next year and I'm keen to know the current trend. Thanks!
