They already have played their game so room left for us. There were only few minor changes nothing to add on but still they are not agreeing on that. Never mind let it be. Will keep you posted.

They already have played their game so room left for us. There were only few minor changes nothing to add on but still they are not agreeing on that. Never mind let it be. Will keep you posted. They told us the same. But because they left something out they have to put it in the new plans. It's already been through the permit part. I just think they say that but things can be pushed. But if your happy with that. And ok with some delays due to brickies. Then do it. At least you know before hand. And you never know maybe your end won't have delays. Maybe ask them about it. And hopefully they are honest with you. viewtopic.php?t=86597 Re: New here we are building the Doulton 56 with extension 376May 17, 2017 9:45 pm Doulton777 Sanuaka Problem is they say that they have already applied for building permit and expect the same by end of this week so can't change anything now.

We will try to push it hard. Hopefully they do it. We will also try to ask about the brick work. Lets see what they come up with.

Considering they have a shortage and it only cost them more when your house sits there. You might have a good chance. viewtopic.php?t=86597 Re: New here we are building the Doulton 56 with extension 378May 18, 2017 11:49 am Doulton777 Apparently we are one of the first to build a Doulton. And apparently Its merticons biggest project on new land. We also have over 200 variations. We have a few problems with getting the house to fit on the land. Because of over shadowing as our neighbours built on the fence line. Which intern cost us $11,000 more. We have just finish signing contracts finally. We have a site start in April. Which I'm hoping goes to plan. This is our forth time building. So we do know bit of what to expect. The house in total with no outdoors. As we have a lot of kids. And made a lounge room out of it. It brings the house in total to 66.5Sq meters. As we also added another 2 bedroom. So it has 7 in total. We opted for 2 two way bathrooms instead of 4 ensuite's. But still kept one ensuite. Is anyone with Commback? How did they go with adding your tile variation? Wow 66.5 squares?? thats MASSIVE!! its more of a palace than a home. I completely understand with the over shadowing issue as we have just come from a single story home where both doubles next to us had over shadowing issues and it was still passed! it was horrible for us as we were getting no sunlight at all and then having the double behind us it wasnt exactly ideal. This time around we are building a double story home and from what I know all the houses around me are single stories! So the tables have turned haha New here we are building the Doulton 56 with extension 379May 18, 2017 12:45 pm stayxtrue Doulton777 Apparently we are one of the first to build a Doulton.

It will be like a dream to have so much room. It's about 20 sq bigger then the one we are in now. And with 9 kids at home it sure is needed. As for overshadowing. I understand that. But in this case it's our neighbours fault. As he built right on the fence line purposely then we had too move the house over to not overshadow his house. I wish that was never allowed. I don't believe he should have been able too. As I don't like that his garage will be in our yard. I mean it is on our land. Why do we have to have his garage on our landas well as it cost us. My consultant reckons no one usually builds on the fence line now days. So maybe if he got the overshadowing it would have taught him a lesson lol. Plus would have made it cheaper for us. I just don't get how he could do that. Why pay for a land to be yours in the council lets them have their garage on your land? That was done 30 years ago. But not today. viewtopic.php?t=86597 Re: New here we are building the Doulton 56 with extension 380May 18, 2017 10:38 pm Doulton777 stayxtrue Doulton777 Apparently we are one of the first to build a Doulton.
