Browse Forums Building A New House Re: KDR - Allcastle Homes Grandworth 45 MK2 91Jul 09, 2018 8:03 pm ymiao4398 we upgraded to better tiles, didn't like the standard range, we wanted bigger tiles, all up we spent about 10k. Like wise . Fingers crossed we can stay below $10k Re: KDR - Allcastle Homes Grandworth 45 MK2 92Jul 14, 2018 5:19 pm it's been a week, and most of the frame has been put up, i think next week they will finish the frame, only left to do is the roof truss. looks like the truss are wood, we building using steel frames. one thing i noticed with the steel frames is they have precut holes for wiring already which is great for future wiring. Re: KDR - Allcastle Homes Grandworth 45 MK2 93Jul 20, 2018 9:11 am frames are done, and i am quite happy with the result, the roof truss are timber, whilst walls are steel. this will make adding ceiling fans to top floor later easier. the inspectors are going in today so we will get our report on monday and pay the next installment. Re: KDR - Allcastle Homes Grandworth 45 MK2 94Jul 20, 2018 7:53 pm Hi Ymiao, Glad to hear your having success with the build. For us unfortunately had the slab completed last week of May, and still the frame has yet to be delivered! They keep on coming up with excuses, blaming their supplier....

And if you chose timber frame ? They should be pretty free given the housing market has changed drastically this year. Anyone regret building as bank valuation may be less which means cashflow issues ? Re: KDR - Allcastle Homes Grandworth 45 MK2 96Jul 20, 2018 8:14 pm No- just standard type frame, hybrid timber trusses on steel wall frames, their all going that way now. Its in the blacktown area. Have no concerns about bank valuations. I bought and sold in late '16, expecting the market to drop slightly. Im actually suprised by its resilience.

Im actually suprised by its resilience. that's strange we did the hybrid too, and i think our build started later then yours, the frames was delivered whilst the slab was drying. we in the blacktown area too. they told us they have ordered everything after we signed the construction plan. waiting 2 months for frames doesn't seem right. Re: KDR - Allcastle Homes Grandworth 45 MK2 98Jul 20, 2018 8:43 pm Yeah, they said the hold up is only affecting certain houses. Dont know why, it is standard grandworth 35. Have to further chase them on Monday. Promises made and broken is what is most disappointing. Each week they say " it will be delivered next week" Re: KDR - Allcastle Homes Grandworth 45 MK2 99Jul 20, 2018 10:10 pm i should be starting sometime in October , just waiting demo to complete when tenants moved out no later than early September Re: KDR - Allcastle Homes Grandworth 45 MK2 100Jul 21, 2018 3:05 pm coppersmith Yeah, they said the hold up is only affecting certain houses. Dont know why, it is standard grandworth 35. Have to further chase them on Monday. Promises made and broken is what is most disappointing.
