jaydeeh82 just curious what design and facade you will have? I think Brad suggested grand portico for everyone building a double storey. There’s 3 on our street alone lol

We're building the Monte Carlo 40, grange facade. It's the same facade as Manhattan at Willowdale. We were looking to get grand portico or savannah but hubby wanted this one. If I knew how much all the upgrades and extra surprise expenses were, I would have not spent so much on a facade.
We can tell which houses are Wisdom just by looking at the facade hehe. We used to drive passed and watch the progress of the Wisdom ones so I could have possibly stalked your house Can't wait until it's our turn.
By the way, love your choice of colours. We got the same bench as yours and possibly the same cupboards. Is it Laminex Whitewashed Oak?

We used to stalk all the wisdom builds too lol We have Seasoned oak on the upper cabinets. Very similar. I looove my kitchen and everyone always comments on it. I’m sure you’ll love yours too
Pinnyanddee are getting their driveway done this morning, I’m looking at doing turf out the back this weekend, and I think igzz said they were looking at around 4 weeks or so for handover???
@jaydeeh82 hopefully it goes late - I don't finish work until 5ish in the city.
how long did it take for your developer approval?
Once your slab is down, if you're anything like us - you'll be incredibly impatient for the next milestone!
Took a while actually, well more so on our builder's end. First submission was 12/02 but they requested minor amendments. The adjusted plans were only sent back to developer on 09/03 and approved 25/03.
Just received a shock email though part of the requested amendments are costing us an extra 3k. Everything keeps adding up after contract signing. I will be broke soon!
I'm sure we'll be impatient too but after waiting nearly 1 year in admin - I've learnt to just tolerate it. Luckily I'm busy enough at home with a newborn.

Hi Rocchet, We're also building a Majestic 35 in Catherine Park. We've loved seeing all your pics, they've been so helpful

We’re on Karmel st and were just assigned our SS Phil. We were also going to build with the grand portico but after driving around the estate and seeing so many changed to the contemporary.

I’ll have to keep an eye on the build lol Yes I think brad sold the grand portico to everyone! We have 3 in our street alone!! Was the contemporary much more cost wise? I haven’t heard of Phil, I hope it goes smoothly for you, I’m sure it will. We love our majestic I’m sure you will too. If you ever want to have a look inside our place to get a feel for it let me know, happy to have you around
Hey alce4463 we are building a Wisdom on Law crescent. Our site supervisor is Phil and he has been great so far! Our build timeline has exceeded our expectations because all I see people do on the forums is complain. No major issues to date either. We have had our first inspection (got H&K Ryan) at the lining stage and Phil was straight onto getting issues resolved literally that day. I go past our house pretty much every day to check the progress and have spoken with Phil about things I’ve noticed so in that respect, I guess he doesn’t have too much of an issue with us being on site haha. Hope you have a smooth build looking forward to seeing yours come together!
Our place is coming along nicely and is almost done, we're due to receive our keys end of May, it was meant to be mid May but I guess some of the trades are a little delayed. We're literally counting down the days now!

Yay!! So exciting! (And exhausting because now the real work begins lol)
igzzz what stage are you guys up to? We have been told end of May handover also (spoke to our SS) but that just seems too soon! Our kitchen and bathrooms both start on Monday. Hopefully a smooth process for you guys so far! 😊
Hey guys building a new place through a volume builder and just wondering if i should complain to the site supervisor as we just had plasterboard installed. Looks like…
Elvis has left the building...
The site supervisor quit after 2 month on the project.
I guess he was just instructed to bark at people, but didn't like when he was…
