Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jun 09, 2017 3:48 pm Hello all, Now that our build is finally starting, just thought I'll share our journey with H1 as this place has been a great resource for ideas and inspirations. Hopefully our thread will help others with their selections down the track. This will be our second build with WH and this time around, we're building the Manhattan 39 (now 42). We have customised the layout a little on the ground floor. HT extended into leisure, wall between leisure and rumpus removed and made outer wall of leisure in-line with rumpus wall. Below are our plans.

Re: Wisdom Homes - Manhattan 39 12Jun 12, 2017 2:00 pm Went to the land to play with my cheap drone and took these aerial photos, not the best and not very exciting right now. haha Hopefully should be better once there's more action on the site.

Re: Wisdom Homes - Manhattan 39 15Jun 13, 2017 9:05 pm Mt.view what a great plan. Your color selection looks stunning. love the staircase and large single sink.

Waiting is the worst. Did you SM contact you for slab date? Just checked your blog. those staircase lights are way too cool! No contact from SM yet, I believe no they wont until the slab is down. Yeh wished we had an opened staircase or the builder was willing to do it. I'll probably find my own way of lighting the stairs after handover.

Energy Australia now do solar and Tesla Powerwall 2 installs now (previously Powerwall 1). The best part of this is the payment plan; Get solar power for $0 upfront on a 5 year interest free payment plan* That would be pretty good spreading out the payment over 5 years.

Correct your SS generally doesn't get passed your file until after the slab is correct. From what i was told W use one main contractor to put the slabs. So it just depends on how many pours are in front of yours as to how long you have to wait. Thankfully once the slab is cured plumbing and frames really take off quickly and them you're away..... I'm sure it can't come quick enough.... I'm guessing you are just going to miss out on an xmas handover, or is there still some hope? I know W try and wrap up a lot of builds that are close prior to xmas. (Ie put extra resources into these builds that are close) Can someone please offer some advice? Im DESPERATE.
