Once everything was approved etc it was all systems go. Is your build approved by council? Have you been to colours etc? Where exactly are you in the process? have you signed a contract? Re: Marcoola 32 - mundoolun estate Qld 3Apr 24, 2018 10:55 am Our council approval came back at the start of March once it was lodged it only took a week to come back, and we did colours on the 22nd March. Our contract took from October to about the 10th jan. Then we were waiting for a variation that only came back about two weeks ago. Now it was waiting on Coral. We were told everything was good one week then the next they needed something else. When they said our estimated start date was May our rep said no way we will have you started well before then. It’s looking like it will be May after all. I just wanted to know if it usually takes this long. When we signed in October the sales guy said it only takes 6 months to build and it’s already been 6 months and we haven’t even got a start date. Re: Marcoola 32 - mundoolun estate Qld 4Apr 24, 2018 1:01 pm We paid our initial deposit in May 2017 but had to wait for our land to register in November. Soil tests were done in November and contracts signed 27 January. Our council approval came back in late February. Colours and electrical done 7 March and start date was 6 April 2018 (one week earlier than expected). It can take up to 6 months to build from when they start building, but we have been told it should be 16-18 weeks (4 months). Hang in there, May is next week.

Yes I know, just wondering if this was normal. Very excited now, sat at the block for about an hour this afternoon. Very excited and I think it will look great when it’s all done. Hi all.
