Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Clarendon Homes | QLD | Sheridan 41 27Nov 10, 2018 6:45 am Yep, appointments all done. We already got the bank approval, so just waiting on covenant and council. Our CSC is submitting to covenant on our behalf, though we provided the fencing and landscape plan part to her to submit with it. No additional electrical outside electrical being added, just the fittings that we got the wiring done for. Window coverings we'll do post-handover, and same with the robe fitouts, since we removed the shelf and rail from them all. Re: Clarendon Homes | QLD | Sheridan 41 28Nov 30, 2018 8:27 am Quick update. Our CSC has not only been dishonest with us, but disparaged us to our Covenant for the Estate. Back when we had our colour appointment, at the start of the month, we met our CSC and they offered to submit our covenant approval on our behalf as they knew the Covenant staff and the process, so it'd be smoother through that avenue. We agreed, thinking that it sounded great. The CSC also was going to send us landscape/fencing plan examples for us to work with for our submission that day. We had to chase them for those examples. They also said they'd CC us when they did the submission. On the week ending the 16th, we asked our CSC if the Covenant submission had gone in, as we hadn't received any emails. The CSC replied in the positive that they had submitted for us, but hadn't heard back yet. Yesterday, we received an email from the Covenant stating our approval couldn't be processed as they hadn't received a necessary form. In this email chain we see that CSC only submitted to the Covenant on the 21st, and also make a rude remark about us. So we don't have Covenant approval, and so it still hasn't been submitted to Council. We are 100% displeased with our CSC and their treatment of us. Re: Clarendon Homes | QLD | Sheridan 41 29Dec 04, 2018 7:34 pm Well we now have Covenant approval. Yay. Now just to wait on Council approval. Re: Clarendon Homes | QLD | Sheridan 41 30Dec 05, 2018 7:59 pm That's excellent news! Fingers crossed it goes through quickly Re: Clarendon Homes | QLD | Sheridan 41 31Dec 07, 2018 10:37 am I just had a look back over your colours - looks like we have a similar palette. We have some of the same, including using the same stone for counter surface. Have you decided on any A/C upgrades? Re: Clarendon Homes | QLD | Sheridan 41 32Dec 07, 2018 11:51 am Good taste then. Yeah, we upgraded to the Fujitsu with 9 zones and MyAir 5 control. That came to $5,300. Re: Clarendon Homes | QLD | Sheridan 41 33Dec 18, 2018 1:59 pm Today we got our Council approval. Yay! Interestingly, part of the drawings submitted to the council included the kitchen, WIP, and wet area elevation drawings (which we've never seen before), and we have picked up a handful of errors in them, such as missing pot drawers. Re: Clarendon Homes | QLD | Sheridan 41 34Jan 15, 2019 4:46 pm Got our official 'welcome to construction' email today. Contacted by our site supervisor and he is starting to set things up to commence. Dates he's given us:
We got a new CSC (not sure if that is standard once you hit construction) and have received the final drawings. Unfortunately, there are a few errors, and some reversions that they'd previously fixed in other drawings. So finally, we have forward movement. Re: Clarendon Homes | QLD | Sheridan 41 35Jan 16, 2019 11:43 pm That's excellent news! Looking forward to seeing the start of the build through some photos.

I'm not far behind - hopefully having my slab poured next week some time, but i'm still pretty jealous the stair balustrades? There is nothing special about these and I imagine literally every stair installer will be able to do this. 1 3132 The two 15mm holes are obviously not compliant. The Dept of Fair Trading would love to see this one! Do the gutters pool water after it stops raining? Although it's… 4 3903 Hi all. Anyone know when the $11,000 limit was set in legislation for renovations in QLD? Ive been renovating for 5 years now and this was the limit back then. As we know,… 0 2048 |
