I have been reviewing colours and what not over the last few days. Hopefully we should have some firm ideas when we visit the show room - When ever that will be. I'm hoping they will have the new one opened by the time our turn comes around.

It has come back as a H1 (which is OK because they allow for this in the build without the extra cost). P states that the report is requesting 800-1000mm piers but thinks if we get a soil compaction certificate from Stockland then we won't need to do this. I sure hope that if we do this, and they say ok, we aren't risking foundation issues in the future..... So because we have a HUGE block, we need a lot of fencing - 123 lineal metres to be precise. The block to our left is slightly higher. Turns out it will need to be retained before we fence. We were quoted for 1 sleeper high @ $419 ($19/m). It has come back and turns out we need 2 sleepers high - that jumps to $90/m!!!! So we either ride it out and hope the neighbour retains their property for stability before we have to.... They have a build to boundary and plan to have their garage on the boundary so I can only cross my fingers and hope they are all sorted and ready to go when we are - and they retain when the slab is laid! The additional $2,200 for retaining isn't really something that I would prefer to sacrifice upgrades for. P mentions that retaining ownership is a grey area in QLD..... so the people on the left (i would think) would have more interest in securing their foundations so they should be responsible (in my eyes). Ohhhhhh it's all so hard sometimes!

I haven't had a reply to the emails I sent him on Monday either, so I think he's just a bit snowed under at the moment. When are you hoping to start building? Like, if the land is now yours, you've got to get plans approved now - first by the estate and then by council - is the hope to get all that sorted by Jan and start in Feb? Re: Building with Homes by CMA - Ascot 260 18Dec 23, 2016 10:06 am This is the plan! I have had a phone call and a couple of emails this week. But I think it's cause I'm hassling. It was 4 weeks ago we draw up initial plans (white out and red pen, lol) and we aren't changing anything from the standard apart from adding 2 doors, extending a wall and rearranging the furniture/shelving in 2 rooms. P did say the draftsman had 4 townhouse complex which took longer than expected. I'm just hoping to get them by COB today cause he goes on holidays til the 9th and that's dragging it out 6weeks from initial draft. I'd like to have the Christmas break to mull over things. It's an 18 week build so I don't want to start any later than first or second week of feb - making hand over mid june. I just need to not be too consumed with the house while I'm supposed to be focusing on work and school too.
