Browse Forums Building A New House Re: McDonald Jones Homes - The new thread 14354Jun 25, 2018 11:43 am Hi All, We are at the early stages of building Hamilton 5. I'm at the deposit variation stage and they keep getting the position of our water tank wrong. We finally got it in writing correct but I would like to know after this stage is there a clear layout of our house and land which they measure exactly where the water tank will go? I'm scared after signing the deposit variation I wont be able to change this if they had a different idea of where it goes. Thanks Re: McDonald Jones Homes - The new thread 14355Jun 25, 2018 12:12 pm Is your land registered? Location of the water tank may not be up to you depending on the slope of the land.

Hi, Thank you for your reply. No our land isn't registered yet. We have been given the choice of the location and that of course depends on where our easements are. The location of the water tank has been approved so far. I was just wondering in our next step is there going to be more of a clear plan our house and land. We have just been given a very basic copy of our floor plan and front/backyard and we drew on the paper where we would like the location of the water tank. Our next step is Plan Appointment.

Plan presentation will be more exact as you will be provided with a full set of plans beforehand with the water tank location clearaly indicated. Depending on your preference you may be able to move it at that stage. Re: McDonald Jones Homes - The new thread 14359Jun 25, 2018 12:59 pm Supercharger kmartin3 Supercharger Is your land registered?

Re: McDonald Jones Homes - The new thread 14360Jun 27, 2018 10:12 am We are also doing a Hamilton 5 and had our tank located in the backyard at the plan presentation which was well before our land registration. I requested that it be located in the designated tank nook BUT they advised we'd have to wait for registration and engineering. When we registered the land they advised that there was not enough room in the tank nook as we needed a retaining wall and only have 950mm to the boundary from the house. When I referred to the plan presentation discussion and follow up email regarding the position of the tank they suggested we set the wall behind the tank nook (dining room) back 150mm to fit the tank. Problem solved. Make sure that all your discussions are confirmed in writing / email. Hi AKG, We had a base tender of $592 for 31 squares from MC Donald Jones.
