My building thread..viewtopic.php?f=31&t=19421 Brickies started 5/10 Re: Building with Homebuyers Centre - Perth 19Apr 20, 2009 9:12 pm I have just picked up my contracts today with the drawings (yay!) but got my prestart file ages ago when I gave them my initial deposit (only $1,000 not $1,500 like at HBC). Today I got good news and bad news. Good news is that I got preapproval (FINALLY) and Keystart interest rates have gone down from 5.24% to 4.99%! Bad news is that I was informed that I couldn't move my house forward by two metres like I was told I could, and this means that my little garden out the back is now even littler! It was just over 5 metres from the back wall to the fenceline and now it's only just over 3 metres I'm so disappointed as this is what really sold it for me. I have two dogs (an big older one and a smaller crazy one) and this is really going to limit their ability to have a good area to play in and not be as tempted to rip up the garden. Now I'm thinking I'll have to fence in the front yard so the little crazy one can run through from the back to the front to expend his energy. I guess I'll have to get used to this disappointment as its only the start and there will probably be more issues and hurdles along the way. Re: colours and prestart, I asked my consultant for the suppliers of everything (some weren't specifically listed in the prestart file) and then went an looked at it all seperately. I'm still going through it all. HomeBase Expo in Subi is awesome, and it has all the samples of Formica / Laminex (etc) there. It's also fantastic for brick selections as they have walls of both Midland and Australs. I've made an appointment with Midland Brick for Wednesday to go in and have someone take me through exterior selections with visualisation software. It's free and it's called Midland Vision. Obviously you have to use their bricks for the visualisation, but they can add tiles, colorbond roofing etc to a plan that is either identical or very similar you yours (apparently they have a lot of the display home designs in their database). When I was perusing the selection room at the builder's office today, I found a file listing every colour and material in each of their display homes. I copied down all the info for the display home I'm building and went to see it this afternoon during opening hours (it was shut though - very annoying!). But I should've just asked for a photocopy. I love my builder, because they just let me roam the selection room for as long as I want and I can take photos, pull everything out of the drawers and whatever else I want. Where are you building Kirsada? I'm SOR down the freeway. My tac-home-ter: Been in 8 months! Re: Building with Homebuyers Centre - Perth 20Apr 20, 2009 9:27 pm Building in Wellard! I love the Aussie Living display homes..been to a few in the last month! I like the colours at the house in Baldivis (Central - i think). My consultant definitely knows who I am, maybe for the wrong reasons, but does seem vague on the particulars of our house. Oh well, never mind! YAY - congrats on the preapproval and OMG I am so glad that Keystart rates have dropped! We are with them too. Too bad about your backyard shrinking Yeah, I liked Homebase expo too The girl at Midland wasn't helpful though...maybe I should have targeted the older one!! The lady at Austral was very helpful so I decided to go with them, for bricks and roof tiles.
