They use a waffle pod slab which is essentially hollow polystyrene boxes with a thin layer of concrete on top. The main difference is the raft is dug into the ground whereas a waffle sits on top of the site. Re: Henley Reserve - Cullen 45 ..

We're building on one, hopefully after all the recent bad press, the engineering should be sound. Re: Henley Reserve - Cullen 45 .. Build Cancelled ! 54Feb 07, 2018 10:59 am I signed last year with Henley for Cullen 45, my land is going to titled in April or May 2018. I have not received single call or word from Henley apart from future matrix index will be applied on my land as its going to be delayed 3 months from sign of contract. I am in same limbo must have shower at ground floor without sacrificing butler pantry which is already 2m and no guest room at ground floor. I've been told someone will contact me in end of March to start process. my land is 16x28 with 2m easement in point cook and I cant find any other good builder who make 45sq or above on this much land. what ur plan now baronx ? what issues you had with Henley? (2 of my friends build with JG king and Granvue homes their issues are endless. JG king took 2.5 year to make my friends house even paid them monthly rent for months and he end up getting house with lots of issues and scratches here and there. so bit scared with small builder and Porter Davis and Metricon prices are already on high end ) Re: Henley Reserve - Cullen 45 .. Build Cancelled ! 55Feb 07, 2018 11:26 am We got to a similar point with Eden Brae in 2016, and pulled the plug due to lack of responsiveness, lack of care, repeated identical mistakes during tender and drafting. After receiving 4 incorrect Tenders in a row, across a period of almost 3 months, we decided to not let them waste any more of our time/money. Our current builder in comparison is like working with a friend, so there are better options out there. Maybe it helps that they can handle custom plans, and don't take on more then they should. I hope you too can get to a better place soon! Re: Henley Reserve - Cullen 45 ..

My tender is next week if things does not go well I will wash my hands as well with Henley. Also they are giving me P slab Raft re in forced .What your comment on this? Re: Henley Reserve - Cullen 45 .. Build Cancelled ! 58Feb 07, 2018 11:59 am did you do any custom customization apart from builder listed..henley seems to be very persistent with custom changes. Will be good to know.. due to no display house any where my worry areas are entry width with stairs, shower at ground level and butler pantry being small. planning to have 2 sliding doors for theater room which might give illusion house is small apart from that i love this design.. I did ask them to extend length 1.5 m which they declined for dining area but approved for alfresco Re: Henley Reserve - Cullen 45 ..
