Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Hallmark Homes 55Oct 12, 2016 6:05 pm Oh that's great icebreaka! We just received our stamped approved plans and have a start onsite date of 24th October! It's such a great feeling to see things finally moving ahead considering we started the process back in April but have had so many set backs and delays with waiting for land to register and then settlement being delayed due to terrible valuations from our lender! Fingers crossed we have a smoother ride moving forward lol. What was your timeline like in terms of your build? Re: Hallmark Homes 56Oct 16, 2016 1:17 am Our house is coming along nicely.. We're at the end of week 13 now, almost there! Here's a spreadsheet I made to track and compare the progress between my house and two of the hallmark builds on instagram. These are all low set homes. Good luck with your build! Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Imgur Link Re: Hallmark Homes 57Oct 16, 2016 7:28 am icebreaka Our house is coming along nicely..

You must be excited! Re: Hallmark Homes 58Nov 11, 2016 7:15 pm Just an update on our house... Got an email from Hallmark today to say our PCI is scheduled for December 7th. I called my supervisor who said handover is usually around a week after PCI. Is that how its been for the rest of you? So anyway, we're really excited now! However, I just can't get my head around why its so far away... Electrical fit out was today so all the lights & power points are in... All that's left is main floor tiles, plumbing & oven... December 7th would be the 21st week of our home build so this build has gone slower than others! Things I can think of that contributed to the slow build: - Unusual lot with slope at the front, needed scaffolding set up twice - Sides and back has a bagged and paint finish - Only had one painter paint the whole house, he was booked in for 9 days and actually took 13 days But anyway, the house is looking great and happy that we'll be in before Christmas Re: Hallmark Homes 59Nov 12, 2016 8:42 am icebreaka Just an update on our house...

Hallmark told me the average build time is 15weeks but I would be interested to know what the outliers are too! Overall it is exciting news though!
