Just a few powerpoints and ceiling fans. We have had so many SS changes, so hoping this one we got will stick around till the end now. Re: Our First Home - Building with Valeco in Brookhaven Esta 95Mar 15, 2018 10:21 pm breebarter So much has happened in one week! Council approved plans received today and have now moved onto dealing with customer service (I hope they will be okay in regards to answering all our questions!) I really quite liked the administration manager as most of the time she got back to me within half an hour! We have now got an estimated completion date of 13th September, but this seems a little long? Not sure Also noted a few things were not ‘allowed to do’ - has anyone had their electrician complete cash jobs? Like hanging our kitchen pendants and our alfresco fan? Didn’t think it would be a problem but starting to think otherwise. Hope everyone else’s builds are going well! Noticed it was a bit of a negative week for Valeco on HomeOne. Whooop! Your build will be underway in no time!! 7 months is right. "216 days" is the HIA contract (well, ours was). 8th April was our initial estimate (given on 4th Sept 2017) and is looking pretty accurate... we might even be longer than that for our build. We havent done any cash jobs. It doesnt surprise me that it "isn't allowed"... coz that means they miss out on builders margin. You could still try your luck though. Yeah... negative week indeed. All the posts are freaking me out a little, haha. We havent seen our build for a few weeks but heard from our SS yesterday. Alfresco decking almost done and carpet in and gap fix done very soon. Once the gap fix is complete we will probably meet on site again to check progress and will get more updates on when we might have PCI.

Me too, I’m Sure everything will be fine, I’m trying to have a positive outlook! Can’t wait to see your alfresco decking!

Good or bad, hopefully good just need to know if my choice was good or not? Thanks ❤️ 0 8989 |
