Haha to seeing over the wall! Re: JG King modified Heywood - Contract signed! 289Nov 15, 2016 10:46 pm Haha your so right I love how exciting we get over things like grass being mowed or someone else having the site test holes done! We must live in crazy building house bubbles like weirdos I'm glad your getting somewhere with your approvals but I hope it happens faster for you. You've waited so patiently for your build. Your poor husband will be rocking in the corner by the time the builds actually finished lol Good luck Re: JG King modified Heywood - Contract signed! 290Nov 22, 2016 10:57 am We had another update from the developer today. They have spoken with our building surveyor and he has said that he is happy to approve the design if they can get it council to confirm their interpretation of the MCP in writing. This sounds very promising! The problem is the developer hasn't been able to get the council guy to answer his phone. We had the same trouble when we were dealing with him, and he has no message bank to leave a message to call you back. He is going to go over his head if he can't get hold of him soon. We think this is probably best anyway, we found him very difficult to deal with. Someone fresh to the situation would be best, everyone keeps saying council doesn't like changing their mind or being shown to be wrong. Re: JG King modified Heywood - Contract signed! 291Nov 22, 2016 1:10 pm Ooh sounds very promising! Boo to the council guy not answering!! Re: JG King modified Heywood - Contract signed! 292Nov 22, 2016 1:43 pm That sounds like you are heading in the right direction, hopefully they can get a hold of him or better yet go over his head!.

We got our slab down on the 7th and this week have about half the frame up. We have a thread here viewtopic.php?f=31&t=85735&view=unread#unread Only just started the thread but the process itself started back in April with floor plans and picking land in May. Lots of waiting like you for land to title. Re: JG King modified Heywood - Contract signed! 297Nov 26, 2016 11:34 am It's funny because I thought t was really drawn out and tedious admin and contact period and yet reading these posts most people started well before us. We had a fair few ups and downs with small errors, omissions and duplicates that we had to point out over and over again. Re: JG King modified Heywood - Contract signed! 298Nov 26, 2016 11:44 am Through our admin the geelong office and the drafties nearly always seemed to be snowed under. Every little correction could easily turn into a 6 weeks round trip. They were saying all the way through our admin phase that they were looking to increase admin staff to reduce the load. It finally feels like it has started to happen now. Lately their communication and response times have been really good. Re: JG King modified Heywood - Contract signed! 299Nov 28, 2016 10:34 am We found a new spot to view our development from on the weekend. Wish I'd known about this spot when we were watching the construction. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ And the old spot, so many houses going up now! Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ We also visited the new king displays at warralily, we didn't even know they were open, we were there for the metricon and boutique, Kings need to lift their social media game! We were very excited to find the Lexington with the same size walk in robes as ours! They are wide and shallow so we hadn't come across anything that compared. It also has 2700 ceilings with square set like ours and it felt massively tall! The Finsbury is the same, but this was different somehow, I think it might be the higher hampers. And the other display has our stone in the kitchen!!!! I've had so much stress about that stone! It was so awesome to see it kitchen sized! We are very happy with it, it's plain, which we needed with everything else going on, but not too plain . The girl couldn't confirm that it was st moritz until during the week so I had to run home and go back with my sample like a crazy person . Re: JG King modified Heywood - Contract signed! 300Nov 28, 2016 12:10 pm Awesome view Ooh, i might have to do a visit to the display homes there, i drive by them all the time. There was only one house started in there when my house began...... LOL Yay to being happy with the stone, so good to see it bigger in an actual kitchen I would never build with Fowler homes. I built with them in 2021 and till date maintenance issues are pending.
