I cant wait for ours, we have about 6 weeks to go Re: KDR - Allcastle Homes Grandworth 45 MK2 168Feb 11, 2019 12:46 pm pretty excited, but also daunted by the fact we have some much landscaping to do in the near future. i am budgeting another 50k to that. hopefully it will be enough. we haven't got out PCI yet, once that is booked in we will book in the Houspect for a pre-handover inspection. so far we are happy with the finishes and all that, compared to my friends Clarendon home build it is a lot better in a few areas. like the painting, and the joineries. one thing we were disappointed by was the pantry, the shelfs are too narrow. should have got a refund on that and find our own carpenter. but apart from that, its been pretty smooth sailing. Re: KDR - Allcastle Homes Grandworth 45 MK2 169Feb 11, 2019 1:08 pm Yes so far no major defects and my PCI have some minor window hindge problems , paint etc..overall has been smooth. Managed to do landscape under 50k included front fence, 11m retaining wall, gutter guard, afresco balustrade, steps, driveway 83m2, land levelling. In progress to get OC. Re: KDR - Allcastle Homes Grandworth 45 MK2 176Feb 15, 2019 1:24 pm ymiao4398 i think so, not sure yet, but you will get a interim cert, we getting quotes this weekend. and getting it done as soon as we get handover So what do you have to have done before you get it? Driveway and landscaping or you can move in just make sure entry from road to house is done then you can do it once in house cause I’ve seen so many people in their homes with no driveways or landscaping just wondering how it works. Let us know how you go over weekend you can PM if you don’t want to respond here. Thanks Re: KDR - Allcastle Homes Grandworth 45 MK2 178Feb 15, 2019 1:36 pm check with your CDC cert at the last page. It list the OC requirement. For my case no need to do landscape, need vehicle access only (not necessary concrete) What hold me up is I have to get storm water certified work as executed by hydraulic Eng Re: KDR - Allcastle Homes Grandworth 45 MK2 179Feb 15, 2019 2:01 pm LevaneT check with your CDC cert at the last page.

Your storm water was advised early in build correct I think you wrote about before Re: KDR - Allcastle Homes Grandworth 45 MK2 180Feb 15, 2019 3:36 pm All they need is to check if the storm water system are in according to the hydraulic design plan. For normal drainage design plumber should able to certify it. you also need to check with council for - Section 94 Contributions. Normally don't required for KDR of single house.
