Any issues or words of wisdom for those of us about to embark on the journey with HHH? Thanks! I am working on the landscaping now. Whenever, i have questions, i always ask H&H and they always able to answer. My storm water costs were very high as well, as per my council, i need to have a undergrond concrete so i came to about $47k. Re: Building with Hall & Hart Homes 479Oct 02, 2018 9:08 am Jacks Zen your stormwater is making me nervous. We’re also sloping away from the street with a rear easement and I think our PA is $30k and $4k sewer. Fingers crossed we don’t go over. I do suspect we will also need to bury some OSD. I’m trying to get a sense of what this will look like as I’m also hoping to not have a yard full of grates etc. For those further ahead in the process, I have a question re the Notice of Commencement. Per the Intro Handbook it says we will need to pay bonds and fees to Council. Does anyone know how much these are? Something we haven’t yet budgeted for 😬 it says we need to provide receipt of payment along with the neighbour declaration. Thanks! We had the same "oh no, we haven't budgeted for that" moment with the bonds but thankfully they are not too expensive. We went into Ryde council in Top Ryde and paid ours. The refundable bond was $1,610 and infrastructure inspection was $279.50 (non refundable). Our build has had all of the pits and drainage put in, if you do a drive by and have a look I can tell you what they are and how we plan to handle them with landscaping. Frames to be delivered this week. Re: Building with Hall & Hart Homes 480Oct 02, 2018 1:28 pm Lucky you kjane on council contribution. Lucky me on lower stormwater cost. My "oh no moment" came at 6.5k for s94 and 2k for s73 (or around) so 8.5k in total. I think HHH should have done better by warning customer about it. I'm still happy with them though.
