Hi again, can anyone let me know if they had their slab laid in June / July? We've been massively delayed by the contractor at Bluestone so it looks like our mid May start will now be late June or early July. Any help would be great!

Do you know who youre going to build with yet? Yeah I'm not sure what the estates are like at the moment looking around you would have thought you could pretty much buy and build but I suppose looks can be deceiving! Mt Barker is so full of land though - spoilt for choice! We only cancelled because we just felt like the delays were going to continue (which they did) we had actually been speaking to the actual development company regarding it and compensation etc but just didn't want to have to keep waiting around when we could settle and build straight away at that point Yes we are building with gall3ry living - the first home we built was a solid brick home so we wanted something a bit different this time around We are just waiting for our final approval in council basically and our final energy report and we will be good to go to site Current Build with Gall3ry Living https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=87680 First Build Thread : Our Mt Barker Build @ The Grove Re: Mount Barker Thread 314Apr 13, 2017 3:40 am Hey very quick and odd question to anyone whose built in Mount Barker already, is close to completion or would have insight into the answer - Did you have to have or plan to have a septic tank? Whose responsibility is this if yes, yours or the builder or the developer (if buying in an estate)? I just noticed a note about septic vs sewer on the Mount Barker council pdf files when reading up on the application process, and nobody (builder or developer, and we've bought a house and land package which was developed between those two) has mentioned a thing about it to us! Re: Mount Barker Thread 315Apr 13, 2017 8:48 am We had a septic to common effluent on our previous built and had our builder do it however can get in contracted after - we also are getting our builder to get it installed again Suprises me no builders have mentioned it to you though we have always had in included in our quotes bit dodegy all the sales guys up there would no you'd need one by now surely!

I'll chase that up with them, but we did actually have to be put with a sales guy who mainly works out north...due to an annoying stuff up of who was contacted first. Re: Mount Barker Thread 318Apr 13, 2017 10:14 am It appears (courtesy of confirmation from our developer), that our development is 100% mains sewer rather than septic. Which seems odd given I've heard people building just a few roads over in a different development do not have sewer. However yay! Cost saved, but definitely appreciate your feedback!! Re: Mount Barker Thread 319Apr 13, 2017 2:09 pm Thats great - funny as yes I'm pretty sure the rest of mt barker has commons would be strange for them to miss something like that!

Regardless, if I find we need one - better believe I'll be taking it up with the developer after this! Hi, Apologies - I know there is plenty out there on this but struggling to put together the puzzle. We're planning our garage/external laundry to master bedroom and… 0 12772 |
