I find its easier to do it from the comp! I upload the photos first and then go into full editor and type out the post Oh well a thicker slab is good at least! I have no idea about the plumbing but I'd be assuming so they'd have to figure it out somehow! Yep because I remember them saying the block is already titled so there shouldn't be any delays.. maybe email the land agent first? That way you can forward that email to your builder! Re: Our First Home Build with Commodore Homes in Seville Gro 18Jun 15, 2017 11:35 am Finally got it working thanks to your tip! I'm sure it will be fine, your site plan should be able to give you a rough guide. The plumbers might have to go up both sides of the house just really depends on the space between the boundaries and the house. Never would have a thought a little 2 brick high retaining wall would add so many more questions to my list. Great idea, hopefully it's not too much of an issue Re: Our First Home Build with Commodore Homes in Seville Gro 19Jun 15, 2017 12:18 pm Oh we've got like 1m or something from the boundary to the house so that'll be fine Yea I didn't even think of the retaining wall when I choosing a block! I think the only retaining wall part we've got is at the back which is fine.. Glad my tips helped you! I admit I was struggling yesterday until I realised that little hack.. Re: Our First Home Build with Commodore Homes in Seville Gro 20Jun 15, 2017 1:52 pm Retaining walls can be a headache and proved a hassle for us too. Ours ended up costing us more money because they had to cut part of it away to fit the garage properly and then get it certified by an engineer that it was suitable to build on. It was a surprise cost because at first the builder didn't think they would need to do it. We could have saved some cash if we made the front rooms, garage and hallway a little more narrow but we didn't want to as it's already a narrow block. Also our crossover had randomly been completed by the developer before we bought the block so we had saved some money there anyway so swings and roundabouts I guess I'll be asking for all sitework receipts before we make our final payment though to make sure we haven't been charged for anything that wasn't carried out.
