We bought our block in May 2016 with titles expected in October. Then November, then December. They were finally released February 2017. We couldn't access the land at that stage as it wasn't finished! Took another couple of weeks for practical completion. I sincerely hope your wait is not that long!! We are near the proposed primary school and if the weather gods play nice should have earthworks starting on Monday. Your plan looks great! Will look forward to reading about how it all comes together for you. Hi Mrsxtro01, Congratulations! Hope the build starts soon and you have no more delays. We had a client in a similar situation to yourself as I was following the job quite closely to get an idea if there would be delays with ours. They are on Frangipani Road in the Grandis section and didn't get titles until laye Feb, however I believe they now have a roof on there home. Who are you building with if you don't mind me asking? I've had a look at the latest satellite imagery I have available (June 7th) and it looks like they've started cutting in the road, so it looks like they are on target at the moment. Hopefully the rain doesn't cause too many delays for us though. We are living at home with my partners parents, so if there are delays, it just means more time to save some extra cash!

There are about 5 houses started along there. We are building with HGWA who have been good but soooooo slow with admin process. Hoping they will up the ante with the actual build! Re: First Timer (Built By Momu @ Calleya) 10Jul 14, 2017 1:46 pm Shouldn't really be any excuse for delays in the admin process given the climate of the building industry at the moment!

But glad to see it all moving Agreed but they hold all the cards and wouldn't be rushed despite frequent nudges from me!! Re: First Timer (Built By Momu @ Calleya) 12Jul 17, 2017 5:07 pm So we just got some fantastic news! Our land will be completed at the end of the week assuming there are no more delays. A month ahead of schedule!

We had anticipated we were going to spend some more money, but it came in over budget. Cut out a few items like upgraded doors and light switches and ended up around 4k over. Signed all of our settlement documents today as well, so that should all be finalised in the coming weeks. Have been told a slab is penciled in for late August, assuming there's no issues with council or other days. So excited now!

So exciting to see it in person. Settlement is next Friday and I should get my survey next week, so the plans will go into council for a building licence in about a fortnight.
