Hi All,
I have bought a lot in Clydesdale Estate. Didn't see any topic/discussion on that estate.
Any one else bought in that estate in this forum?

I am also learning from this for my new home. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=+Beowulf+Builders+Pty+Ltd there are Private Builders such as AA Rapid Builders etc but I would research about private builder on NSW Fair Trading before I do anything. https://www.onegov.nsw.gov.au/publicregister/#/publicregister/search/Trades Not only you must check on Builders but also on Directors, Supervisors and Site Managers. I would only enter a fixed price contract for both Private (small scale builder) as well as bigger builders. I WOULD NOT ENTER THE CONTRACT AS OWNER BUILDER. DO NOT ENTER AS OWNER BUILDER. Re: Building at Clydesdale Estate Marsden Park 12Dec 12, 2019 12:07 am Ronnal : Who are you building with? We're entering the contract on Home & Land package, not owner builder. As for the slabs, a quick google of SD4 slabs and I couldn't find much information regarding this type of slabs which is concerning. I have no experience in building so I am quite curious on this. StructuralBIMGuy, do you know anything about SD4 slabs? Re: Building at Clydesdale Estate Marsden Park 13Dec 12, 2019 8:49 am Onram @Ronnal This is our builder's reply to the slabs. The standard slab for your home right now is an SD4 slab. [i][b]Its already over engineered for our quality homes.[/b][/i] What do you think of this? Most builders use different names and I can only guess... its becomes difficult to compare ? I often hear my AB4 is better than their XC3 ? Unfortunately, SD4 without reference to the Standards means nothing without the details and engineering stamp/certification. I suggest you get a signed copy before you handover any deposit and have it properly checked out if you are unsure Onram This is half way between a H1 and H2 slab, should the design engineer specify that we need a different slab, this will be no charge for you as it’s a fixed site cost for your project. It's only fixed once the contract is signed and siteworks have commenced Until they start eg level etc all bets are off Onram These slabs are already 100mm thick compared to the 86mm thick from most builders M class. The steel reo is also 82 SL mech compared to 72 standard mesh. What do you think of this? All Class M Slabs are 100mm thick as per the codes AS2870 85mm Slabs are non compliant, but some builders get away with them? They don't get away with it if the slab pour is inspected by an Engineer The slab mesh size is a function of the slab size/dimension There are other factors ie internal Beam, size, position,reinforcement,etc Of course all Builders will tell you we do it better..that is part of the sales process.

You will live in the house and your grandchild can demolish the building above the slab and they can reuse the Conventional Slab. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1xz3v7j5bA It's a good video with some helpful Info But what is missing is the engineers inspection and certificate That is required in WA Also in WA we put down a thick certified sand pad Designer,Engineer (Civil,Const & Envir),Builder,Concrete & Masonry Contract.Struct Repairs Re: Building at Clydesdale Estate Marsden Park 15Dec 13, 2019 12:37 am StructuralBIMGuy This is the builder's reply when I asked about SD4, fixed site cost, and using conventional slabs. We don’t even reverse build our homes like all the other builders so we could get a better quality home as the end result. Attached is our slab grades from SD1 – SD6, you can send this to your engineer to research on. Our site cost are fixed for your site, as also explained on your tender. This is why most of our clients are referred by friends and family who has already built with us. After your plans are approved by council, your plans will go through final engineering to get your “CC” Construction certificate. Even if you need any upgraded slab, this will be part of site cost. Nearly all builders use M class for standard and H1 if its saline soil affected. M class is 85mm think most times depending on the final engineering specs. That’s why not many knows about SD4 100mm besides a few high end builders. And NO, we will not use standard slabs (conventional slabs) for our homes as per your request, we are a high quality builder and will not use anything less than a SD4 system. Attached is the files they sent to me.

Anyone got this too? Hi Onram, My builder has also just told me that it might get delayed. Have you received any confirmed date? The real estate agent I purchased the lot from isn't available. Do you know how to contact the developer? Thanks, Shiraz Re: Building at Clydesdale Estate Marsden Park 19Jan 31, 2020 7:02 pm shiraz.

Didn't provide much details. Let me know if you find out more. Thanks, Shiraz |
