Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Oct 06, 2009 1:17 pm After 2 months of variations ding-donging, we have signed off the final plans and addenda last week. We were then advised by our CA that a Construction Coordinator will contact us within the next 2 to 4 weeks to let us know the dates for earthworks and slab down.
We took a drive past our barren land on Saturday, not expecting to see anything different but lo and behold, the builder's sign is erected!!! Wow....wee......we got excited for a moment there. It was probably put up Friday last week. Maybe there will be some action on our land soon.....hopefully!!! Will update as soon as we see more happening Re: The Roses' House by Ultimate Homes Perth- Builder's Sign UP! 2Oct 06, 2009 1:37 pm Congratulations on your sign Kath!! Its always exciting when any little thing happens (I should know... i danced around in excitement at getting fluro pink boundary markings!! LOL) Won't be long now before you've got yourself a slab viewtopic.php?f=31&t=22766 - my build thread! Time waits for no man. Unless that man is Chuck Norris. Re: The Roses' House by Ultimate Homes Perth- Builder's Sign UP! 4Oct 06, 2009 3:14 pm Thanks Jodie!! I know.....the little things do THRILL us when it happens on our land!! Hi Mrs Smith - yes, I must say the council plays a BIG part isn't it since without the building licence nothing can move forward. Lucky for us the builder submitted for approval early and we got our licence in 8 weeks on the dot!! Let's hope the SMOOTH sailing goes on and on....... Re: The Roses' House by Ultimate Homes Perth- Builder's Sign UP! 5Oct 06, 2009 3:17 pm So where abouts are you building Kath?

I am suppose to get updates from my CLO every 2-3 weeks. 4 weeks later waiting for the first one.

All set for some real action maybe???/ Re: The Roses' House by Ultimate Homes Perth- Builder's Sign UP! 10Oct 08, 2009 12:12 am Yeh it looks like they should do a site scrape soon Unfortunately the plan pic is a bit too small to work out the detail.. but is that a big spa at the back?

Wow, that's exciting! I'm building a bit further down the freeway from you, in Bertram. Looking at your photos, I really like your back neighbour's zero boundary wall with the fence on either side! It would make a great feature wall for the garden! I also love your plan! How different! HUGE ensuite, and lots of storage! Will be very exciting to see your build progress. My build is at the very same stage as yours! My tac-home-ter: Been in 8 months! Re: The Roses' House by Ultimate Homes Perth- Builder's Sign UP! 17Oct 17, 2009 12:10 pm Yay Kath!! Your block will be having a very busy week indeed!!! Your plan looks great, am loving the giant spa in the ensuite!! viewtopic.php?f=31&t=22766 - my build thread! Time waits for no man.

Re: The Roses' House by Ultimate Homes Perth- Footings STILL!!:( 20Oct 22, 2009 6:06 pm Mesh was delivered on Monday and they started a little bit of the footings from Tuesday until today. When I drove past earlier, it has not been completed yet SLab was supposed to go down yesterday. So, footings were done bit by bit and it has taken 3 days....... I've seen other threads and they only take 1 day, wonder why ours has taken soooo long. Is this normal? I was driving past another plot of land that was levelled on the same day as us, their mesh was sent last night and today when I drove past, their footings are completed!!! Well...welll.....what can I say........ We hired Darbecca to do every stage inspection, and I strongly recommend them to anyone that asks me. They were amazing. Thorough reports with photos at every stage,… 6 7126 i would not be signing anything on the day read your contract about when builder submits final invoice generally, have to meet builder within 7 days of receiving final… 1 4735 Thank you so much everyone. This all makes a lot of sense. I guess when you talk to a builder who butters up everything to look very polished, you get to start believing… 7 17588 |
