Good to know… we have external selections at the beginning of Feb. Land is still kicking along with the road still being dug out and flattened.

Re: Building with Montgomery Homes 59Mar 03, 2022 7:20 am Nicole99 TrickyRickyDoo Nicole99 We have not had that letter yet . Are you close to contract signing ? I’ve heard a few ppl getting near to signing contracts - Yes, our DA should be approved imminently. It's been an unexpectedly long journey. The only reason we've stayed with Montgomery is that several friends have built with them and the quality is good (for a volume builder) whilst the 3 level design is what we wanted for our sloping block. The only alternative for the Riviera we considered was the GJ Gardner Seaview. Regardless i'm pretty anxious and wondering what the actual timings will be from DA to contract signing to start of build to handover. How long has your DA been in council ? We’ve been told it’s .25% increase per fortnight from mid march once tender expires . We still haven’t had electrical appt yet - I guess the longer the build the longer we have to save for our extras like landscaping … it’s a catch 22 . Our day has been in for about 3 weeks. Lake Macquarie council seem to be reasonably quick at working through the DA. Re: Building with Montgomery Homes 60Mar 03, 2022 8:02 am TrickyRickyDoo Nicole99 We have not had that letter yet .

Depends a lot on situation, because there's a bunch of stuff that can be done by MH while waiting for DA (but frankly I think they are so slammed at the moment, everything is just sitting in a q) Our experience. DA was approved mid Jan. We signed Contracts yesterday You then have 20days to secure funds and provide 1st progress payment Once they receive proof of funds, they then have 20 days to start consstruction Depending on your Contract Lenght (changes from house to house, but bank on 40-50weeks) ... That's how long it will take to build, provided there's no major delays (weather, material shortages, giant boulders that needs removing, owner instigated changes mid build blah blah blah) Hope this gives you some type of idea Realistically, once you have signed on the dotted line, there "should" be a fence and a portaloo going up on your property within 40 calendar days Hi, I am wondering if anyone has built with Montgomery in the last few years on the Northern Beaches? I don't see the see them around, as I would love to ask how happy… 0 3254 Ask for references and speak to them.
