St kilda. It was the closest for us to go to Melbourne.

That's a bit annoying that your tile lady was hard to deal with, it's stressful enough! Love your timber vinyl floors Building the Simonds Palisade in Drouin - https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?share_ ... are_type=t Re: Simonds Hudson Bendigo 29Feb 16, 2017 7:19 pm Wow!

And timber floors are a beautiful color Building with Perry homes: viewtopic.php?t=84756 Re: Simonds Hudson Bendigo 30Feb 17, 2017 4:52 am We have been in our modified Hudson for a year now. There is only two of us but we love the house. I have most of the landscaping finished too now. All the best with your Hudson. We all make them own own in one way or another. Re: Simonds Hudson Bendigo 31Feb 18, 2017 1:04 pm asha27 Thanks! Will follow along with yours too! I'm hoping all the stress is behind me! Hi Asha27, Have you got any private building consultant to inspect your building process. I am thinking of getting one but curious if the amount I spend on them is worth or not.. i was quoted around 3k for almost complete inspection and report of building process Re: Simonds Hudson Bendigo 32Feb 18, 2017 1:07 pm p.dark asha27 Thanks! Will follow along with yours too! I'm hoping all the stress is behind me! Hi Asha27, Have you got any private building consultant to inspect your building process. I am thinking of getting one but curious if the amount I spend on them is worth or not.. i was quoted around 3k for almost complete inspection and report of building process I was given a lot of advice and have decided that we will only get someone to look through at final inspection. This is the role of the independent building surveyor that you choose at the contract signing anyway. Re: Simonds Hudson Bendigo 34Feb 21, 2017 6:51 pm Is the plumbing in the right location? That is the question. I had the bathroom shower waste in the front bedroom. It happens. It was fixed but it was avoidable too. Sorry to put you on alert but be alert throughout your build. Mistakes will happen and don't expect Simond's paid building surveyor to pick them up. Your SS won't pick them all up. Your private building inspectors will pick up most of the issues. If it seems wrong, it probably is. Building is a complex process. I am happy with the end result of my finished Hudson by Simonds but the process is never a breeze. All the best with your build.

Thanks goody, I understand you had issues but I'm trying to be positive about my build and will deal with any issues if they arise. Re: Simonds Hudson Bendigo 36Feb 21, 2017 7:47 pm Everybody has issues when they build. It is not a bad thing, it is just what happens. You pick up the issues, you get them addressed and you move on. It is still exciting. It is just you need to be aware, that is all. As I said, I have a lovely house that I am happy with. It didn't just happen, it is because I was aware and kept good communication up with SS. It is no good getting angry as things go wrong. It is just a matter of getting issues addressed.

I am under no illusion things won't go wrong. I don't know if you're suggesting I am naive in the building process, I am fully aware of what I need to be aware of. I am a very intelligent person with a vast background.
