So probably another month after titles, the building starts. Oh well just count down the days of living in my tiny rental.

We are building in Aubin Gardens - stage 9 too! Lot 438 - Descanso Loop! can't wait for the titles to be released... we are still undecided on which house to put on.. it's a choice between a SPH - Floreat (heavily modified) or a Summit - Quay Resort.... My thread has been deleted... Re: Jas and Nat's excellent adventure - Aubin Grove, WA 10Feb 03, 2010 8:12 pm Go the Quay Resort hehe i'm biased. I like how it has a corner spa in the ensuite, and the layout seems nicer than the Floreat Built with New Generation (Summit Homes) We own land!... with a slab on it! Plus a shell of a house with stuff inside ! Re: Jas and Nat's excellent adventure - Aubin Grove, WA 11Feb 03, 2010 8:36 pm mmm OK. Have spoken to the builder on several occasions today, trying to ascertain where we're at with the building license. Because of the size of the block, we're also required to have design approval, which it appears the builder wasn't aware of. Even once we'd signed the forms, it appears to have been lost between the builder and the shire. Building license approval isnt granted until the planning side of things is sorted. So - still another 6 weeks to go apparently, which takes us up to 6 months since the contract was signed. The builder now has the audacity that we 'should probably discuss the possibility of price increases tomorrow', as we're way out of our 'price fix' period. The only reason we're out of the period is because shire sat on the app for several months (not the staffs fault - they're just doing their job), and the builder farted around with gathering the information that was required. We have another discussion on the matter tomorrow. I'll keep you posted!

My thread has been deleted... Re: Jas and Nat's excellent adventure - Aubin Grove, WA 15Feb 04, 2010 9:34 pm Hi Jas and Nat! I'm building northeast of you in Helena Valley. I love the name of your suburb, I had to look it up to know where it was! As it turns out, I have a very close friend who lives just 5 mins down Rowley Road from you - so I've been past your little corner of paradise a few times! Best of luck for a speedy red-tape process, it's such a difficult wait but stay positive and make sure you soak up all the excellent ideas floating around H1. There are lots of picture/idea threads to be found which will get your creative juices flowing. Looking forward to following your build! Re: Jas and Nat's excellent adventure - Aubin Grove, WA 16Feb 07, 2010 5:10 pm Thanks Vundaful! The ball is rolling again. Hopefully we'll have some news in the next week or so on how the planning application is going with shire. I've just had a look at where Helena Valley is on the map - very nice! If you're ever needing to get to the airport in a hurry it shouldn't take too long? Jas.

Re: Jas and Nat's excellent adventure - Aubin Grove, WA 18Feb 08, 2010 12:27 pm Hi Mr Jas. Thought i would say hello. Me and my partner are also building in Aubin Gardens, Stage 10, lot 400 descanso loop. Just waiting for titles to be released, orginally feb, then march, then pushed to april, now they reckon june actually its better for us as it means more time to save for our deposit. Choosing the right house has been a rollercoaster. orginally we were set to go with celebrations and build the regal, then we were lured to the floreat from scott park homes. after a bad experience with the sales consultant. the design had its flaws so we wanted to change some things and it seemed he had no idea on going about doing so. Dissapointed, we decided to look at other options and we were suprised to find a great design with new generation homes by summit, not only practical, huge and a great design, but packed with features that were standard and didnt require expensive upgrades as the floreat required. you can check my thread for progress. we are still at initial stages of modifying the house and waiting for our consultant to update us on costs etc. Hope you guys have pleasant build and will be checking your progress Re: Jas and Nat's excellent adventure - Aubin Grove, WA 19Feb 08, 2010 3:24 pm Hey Wrexter, Have you not signed your contract yet? I'm guessing so as that would explain why I can't find you on the system Built with New Generation (Summit Homes) We own land!... with a slab on it! Plus a shell of a house with stuff inside ! Re: Jas and Nat's excellent adventure - Aubin Grove, WA 20Feb 08, 2010 3:53 pm Not yet mate, still at the initial stages of modding it and waiting for quote before proceeding. but based on quotes and design from other builders, im 99.99% sure were going with new gen, plus my partners dads friend (thats a long title) will be our supervisor so peace of mind is key.
