Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Coral Homes – Lisbon 25, Hervey Bay / QLD - FRAME 47Dec 10, 2018 7:10 pm GarethB Santo65 GarethB I have been a bit busy so haven't kept up with updates on the build. Slab sat for 10 days which was good before the framing was started, I was hoping they wouldn't do the framing too quickly so it gave time fro the concrete to set more. As of Thursday 6th they had done the gutters & facia ready for the roof to be put on, there has been a slight delay on the bricks as they were waiting to make a new batch but only a couple of days behind on that. Also have the house next door settled or nearly settled so the first side fence has gone up which is pretty exciting, the house behind also looks nearly done so no doubt will have a fence up there shortly as well. Here are a couple of pics from Thursday 6th December taken from a mate for me as I am not up there until probably late Jan so will miss out on a lot of updates.

I like the lisbon, especially the entry because when you add the portico like you have it gives that nice long, enclosed cave type look. The Grand entry Agree on the front, hoping once it is all up it will have a great effect to it. How are you guys going? Had any luck on the house sale? It will have a great effect in my opinion anyway Gareth. We were looking hard at the Lisbon as we were contemplating changing floor plan to reduce our costs a little but in the end didn't have to. That's why I noticed the entry on your house as you can get a great effect with only a smallish portico, it's just something I personally like Yep we sold our place, it settles on the 15th Jan so we're back in business with just a few changes to our contract but the same house. So all good, thanks for asking Looking forward to more from your build....very exciting!! Re: Coral Homes – Lisbon 25, Hervey Bay / QLD - FRAME 48Dec 11, 2018 5:08 pm Couple of photos of today that were sent to me of the progress, they are planning to have lockup by Christmas. Really happy with how it is looking currently, all those endless days looking at colours are finally able to see them properly in the flesh.

Noticed from the photos a pipe was in the wrong spot so that will be fixed on Monday, bricks were supposed to be delivered Friday but have been delayed until Monday due to the weather and bricklayer will start on Monday. Electrical & plumbing rough in all done, they are finished up for xmas break this week but still hoping to get everything to lockup this week before the break.

Thanks I am really happy with it so far. Can't wait to go and see it but it will be mostly finished by the time i see it next. Re: Coral Homes – Lisbon 25, Hervey Bay / QLD 53Dec 21, 2018 5:44 pm Oh well didn't quite get to the stage i wanted to before Christmas break but not much i can do about it. There is another Coral homes being built across the road and about a week or so in front of mine so the trades are stretched between the two houses. It is coming along well though and should be ready for full steam ahead after the break. I am hoping it will be ready by mid march to move in.

Officially hit lockup yesterday afternoon with the bricky finishing up, few photos from walk through the other day and bricks finished up from today. Everything tracking very nicely.

Everything going well so far, anything that has been picked up or unsure of has been fixed straight away which has been wonderful. Here is a few pics of the updates.

Looks epic We got same type of tiles expect in white wood look. Thanks for sharing the pic, helps me see what ours will look like. Big kitchen island Really happy with the tile so far, was between the other colors in it but settled on the one eventually, the kitchen bench is huge, I just feel like everything is going so slowly now though, all the little things getting done. Have you got a link to your build so i can follow? Re: Coral Homes – Lisbon 25, Hervey Bay / QLD 60Feb 06, 2019 6:06 pm Nah, no link We start the build next month, cloncurry coral homes , acreage homestead. Super excited, I find myself thinking about the build everyday! Ur hallway is super long!. I like all the rooms in ur design, it quite clever Ask the council if there is a chance of getting build over easement exemption. Sometimes easements are unused and 24cm is not all that much. Good luck. And yes any builder… 2 14364 In Qld it is a requirement that a builder must have a cost breakdown, for building a home to the same specification, with the same inclusions and the same finish. So ask… 1 4377 We hired Darbecca to do every stage inspection, and I strongly recommend them to anyone that asks me. They were amazing. Thorough reports with photos at every stage,… 6 7245 |
