Browse Forums Building A New House Re: 1st home build Clearview SA with Hickinbotham 4Jul 25, 2017 9:12 pm My dh bought our current home here about 8 years ago - we are doing a knock down rebuild here. The clay here is terrible - we got H2D soil that is also P due to trees, so our footings are about 850 deep (ouch), but apparently there are some nicer pockets of soil around here. Apparently if there are thistles in your block, that is a sign of clay Re: 1st home build Clearview SA with Hickinbotham 7Nov 02, 2017 9:51 pm yay - how exciting for master plans and great news on the footings Re: 1st home build Clearview SA with Hickinbotham 9Nov 02, 2017 10:00 pm hopefully signing off on variations this month, so probably not demolishing until next year now Re: 1st home build Clearview SA with Hickinbotham 11Nov 18, 2017 2:39 pm We had our selections appointment yesterday. For those Hickinbotham clients that haven't been to the new design studio, you should check it out, it is a major improvement on what they had before. We were happy with what we chose in the end but it's always a bit difficult to know exactly what it's going to look like once completed. Anyway, very nice experience, the complimentary food drinks was a nice touch and video games and movies for our daughter kept her content too.
