Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Modified Madison 35 by Clarendon Homes - Brisbane 25Dec 12, 2018 9:13 pm We've had an update from Clarendon - Building approval has come through, so now we're just waiting on developer approval and the authority to commence from the lender. Our CSC advised the build 2 lots down from us isn't that far ahead, and they want to get our approvals through ASAP so they can run the trades on the two builds straight after each other. The sooner we start the better, but really the best we can hope for is probably just a site scrape prior to the Christmas shut down. We'll see, but either way it's been some welcome news.

I noticed that in one of your posts when you were asked of the final price you responded by saying our final price on our BA came in at $484,000. Was this a misprint. Should it be $374,000. I like the design and layout of a couple of their houses but had not decided who to build with so will be watching this space very carefully. Re: Modified Madison 35 by Clarendon Homes - Brisbane 28Jan 07, 2019 11:09 am Hi Stephen That was actually the price of TiredHalo's build (Sheridan 41), which is a bigger house and will have a higher level of finishing, starting with the Diamond kitchen. My contract price came back at $361,000, but with upgrades I'm not sitting at $369,000, with fencing, driveways, gardens, security screens and window furnishings still to come. We did some modification to the house too, so it's about 345m2, up from the standard 320m2. Flagstone will be a good investment - with the train station to come, plus all the development there and at Yarrabilba, it should be quite convenient Re: Modified Madison 35 by Clarendon Homes - Brisbane 29Jan 15, 2019 6:37 am Hey Kingtaco Cool thread, I’m interested to see how if it all goes for you. We just started the site investigations with Clarendon, now we have to wait 4 weeks for the tender and initial proposal plans... ugh! I think the waiting is killing me most haha. I’ll be keeping an eye on this one and good luck!

Hopefully it goes quickly for you - Clarendon were actually pretty quick through those first couple of stages for us. The waiting is brutal - I'd read that this admin stage prior to the build starting was hard. I had no idea! haha What plan are you going with? Re: Modified Madison 35 by Clarendon Homes - Brisbane 31Jan 15, 2019 10:59 am We've gone with the Fairmont 35, but the 5th bedroom has been removed and whole ensuite has been shifted to the side. It makes the master about 6m x 4.5m #luxury We have gone with the Hamptons façade minus the front balcony, slightly tweaked though. That + site costs (knock down rebuild) have added almost 50K to the whole build price.... Which façade did you go with?

Have paid 2k deposit on modified Fairmont 35 which is fairly modified. Rhetti are you doing the boston 35 version of the hamptons or the Maddison City 40 one? We are getting the Maddison City hamptons facade fitted to the fairmont. I am a bit worried how it will turn out but have found it really hard to find facades we like (with any builder). Re: Modified Madison 35 by Clarendon Homes - Brisbane 33Jan 15, 2019 11:10 am I work in a Design and Urban Planning company for my daily job. I managed to get a copy of the Fairmont 35 front elevations and had someone in my office mock up a design. The salesman was super helpful and put together a rough design and costing on my own Hamptons façade. I have attached it to the Fairmont 35. It's costed in around 18k - I think. It's more of a fusion between a double gable QLDer and a hamptons. I'm happy to share the hand sketch with you via email or PM - its very very rough.

I'll share the version we were supplied with and the updated floor plan when i get home tonight. It sounds like you're aiming for the same result, I am hoping for more of a qlder look rather than Hamptons also.

That's going to be one heck of a master! And the Hamptons is a really nice look. I'll be interested to see some plans when they're done We went the the Oxford facade - it actually comes with render over the whole front of downstairs, but we liked how it appears on the Clarendon website with the mix of brick render and timber, so got the extra render removed. Re: Modified Madison 35 by Clarendon Homes - Brisbane 36Jan 24, 2019 4:25 pm Great looking house design Congrats All the best with the build I like the walk in pantry, looks massive. And lots of bench space in l"dry , most peoples L'dry gets cluttered Re: Modified Madison 35 by Clarendon Homes - Brisbane 37Jan 28, 2019 2:04 pm We've started! Site scrape/excavation was completed on 25/01/2019. This week should be piering and underground plumbing/electrical, followed by slab next week. Two houses down is another Clarendon build and they look to be about 2 weeks in front.

It is odd, we still don't have a fence or any signage to indicate our build is a Clarendon one. Maybe once the frame goes up we'll get one. Could be that we don't have bricks too. Re: Modified Madison 35 by Clarendon Homes - Brisbane 40Feb 05, 2019 11:06 am Are you on acreage at all? You're definitely on a larger block, but I wonder if that makes any difference? But you're probably right, while it's everything up to the slab, there's nothing other than the bricks that's really steal-able with any great ease Kind of funny though, the Clarendon build two houses down from us only has fencing on the front and left side... I guess WH&S and security have fairly low limits! the stair balustrades? There is nothing special about these and I imagine literally every stair installer will be able to do this. 1 6688 The two 15mm holes are obviously not compliant.
