And their inclusions and current promo mean we will hopefully save a bit of money later on ![]() Re: Starting Over - Our Build in Blakeview Grove (SA) 30Oct 31, 2016 7:12 pm ![]() Ohh dechelis is in our top two!! Who was your sales guy? Mark - he's based mostly at Blakes Crossing and Evanston - we just have a really good feeling about them! Re: Starting Over - Our Build in Blakeview Grove (SA) 31Oct 31, 2016 7:14 pm ![]() Hope it all works out and things move quickly from here. Do they have a plan you love already or doing custom? Thanks meshelf ![]() ![]() Re: Starting Over - Our Build in Blakeview Grove (SA) 32Oct 31, 2016 8:11 pm If they release the plans, I'd defiantly build that house. It's suits your block and I can see a lot of thought went into it. We couldn't find a cookie cutter house to suit our block so we designed our own and went with a smaller builder. I think their pricing is quite fair. Maybe a little more but I know they pay their tradies a bit better so it has a knock on affect. At least you're going in knowing exactly what you want. ![]() Re: Starting Over - Our Build in Blakeview Grove (SA) 34Nov 03, 2016 8:01 am We got the best news yesterday!! ![]() ![]() ![]() Spoke to the liquidators again and then received an email last night releasing us from our contract and allowing us to use our plans!! ![]() We also signed with Dechellis on Tuesday so it's full steam ahead for us now, I want to get as much done before Christmas break as is humanly possible lol ![]() ![]() Re: Starting Over - Our Build in Blakeview Grove (SA) 36Nov 03, 2016 8:36 am Congrats! So happy for you! Wish we could say we have signed but still not even close! Looking forward to hearing all about the build (we had Neville from dechelis and is was great) Re: Starting Over - Our Build in Blakeview Grove (SA) 37Nov 03, 2016 8:49 am Oh, I'm so happy for you! You really dodged a bullet, and the plans release is fantastic. Good on Dechellis for coming to the aid of the party... They would have been a contender for us, but they don't do steel frame. Go out and buy a lottery ticket while the luck holds! ![]() Re: Starting Over - Our Build in Blakeview Grove (SA) 38Nov 03, 2016 10:24 am ![]() We got the best news yesterday!! ![]() ![]() ![]() Spoke to the liquidators again and then received an email last night releasing us from our contract and allowing us to use our plans!! ![]() We also signed with Dechellis on Tuesday so it's full steam ahead for us now, I want to get as much done before Christmas break as is humanly possible lol ![]() ![]() That's fantastic news, let's hope it's smooth sailing from here on.. Re: Starting Over - Our Build in Blakeview Grove (SA) 39May 30, 2017 8:22 pm Ok, so it's been awhile since I updated this ![]() ![]() We've still only got an empty block of land, we really did have to 'start again' and because we are technically building a custom design now the process has taken a little longer than we expected. Good news is we signed final contracts yesterday and the only thing left to do is selections then we can get building!! We won't be in by Christmas like we were hoping, it'll be more like February/March but that's ok - I've made myself stop worrying about the time and I'm just trying to enjoy the process and hope for a good quality build ![]() Thank you @ashington Homes for your reply! They just got back to me and offered credit for me to just take it as is. It was a less than quotes I got from ceiling… 6 3314 I second taking your plans elsewhere. They're yours (unless you ended up in one of those cheaper arrangements where you don't own the rights and the build will be tendered… 2 801 |
