People have complained that water has been gushing out their retaining walls(built by ellendale). There is a Facebook page for Ellendale build where you can see these videos. Re: Custom build - BRISBANE - First home 132Feb 13, 2018 2:59 pm Hey ashwin. I think the whole situation is a little exaggerated.. It's a brand new estate, so there is bound to be issues in the beginning.. especially considering it is still a construction site. I personally haven't encountered anything like that yet. However the estate has been marketed as premium, so im sure they will work to fix any issues if it continues. What street are you building in? However if my block had issues, i definitely would be raising it with the estate. Re: Custom build - BRISBANE - First home 133Feb 13, 2018 3:18 pm Hello gr8ly , I am still waiting for the settlement of our land, we are building in stage 2B, CASACADE place. I was wondering how the complaints were handled. Some have definitely exaggerated it but I thought it was one off until I saw another resident raised the same issue. I am quite sure the Ellendale will fix it this problem, they are waiting to sell many lots in future and if this problem is not fixed it will affect their sales. Re: Custom build - BRISBANE - First home 134Feb 13, 2018 4:15 pm yeah exactly! Plus many of them have already moved in.. but the adjoining lots may be still empty or still under construction (with no drainage) which is not helping the water flow. I'll be interested to see what the estate does to rectify it anyway. Settlement can't be too far away.. Who are you building with? Re: Custom build - BRISBANE - First home 135Feb 13, 2018 5:38 pm We are building with plantation home as of now, we were Intially looking at BOLD living builders. But they are being tough to deal with. They have mentioned that settlement could be in April or May. So yeah not far. Re: Custom build - BRISBANE - First home 136Feb 13, 2018 10:07 pm Wow cool photo!

Re: Custom build - BRISBANE - First home 137Feb 13, 2018 10:11 pm hey allblaqk i'm still learning how to use it.. i keep worrying it will fall out of the sky lol. Need to take better ones once i learn how to use it. Meanwhile in other news, our insulation was replaced, and roof completed Most of our windows have also been installed downstairs. Yay progress! Re: Custom build - BRISBANE - First home 138Feb 13, 2018 10:13 pm Yay thats awesome. And what a relief they replaced the insulation. thats great news! Re: Custom build - BRISBANE - First home 140Feb 14, 2018 10:16 am We are going for an industrial/scandi/contemporary feel. We are going very monotone - so crisp whites and greys - probably won't be to everyone's taste, but we are using tasmanian oak features for the kitchen and bathrooms to warm up the space. We have chosen some of our pendant lights already - will need to find pictures and post. We are also featuring a custom made black LED strip light for the ensuite. Hopefully it looks as good as it does in my head. I'd get the gutters to match your roof and pipes to match the paint - otherwise they become a feature. Nice pick with the paint colours! 1 35089 6 57368 Soak wells and electrical run in happening this week! Summit has told me they will relocate the laundry plumbing after the walls are completed. I'm actually pretty happy… 13 36877 |
