Re: Our Barossa Build - lots of site pics 42Oct 26, 2010 10:43 pm OK, got a crappy "but it's not all our fault" response by email back from the Sales Manager at Rendition Homes late this evening. They are pathetic, but I am really comfortable with our decision and glad that I can now close this chapter of our build. Looking forward to meeting with a local builder on site on Friday morning. I have received our plans back from our building designer with the 6 star energy efficiency compliance so off to make copies galore again tomorrow and take it from there. So, new thread title, new attitude, bring on my new house!!!!!! In the meantime.....here's our almost completed excavation....

Hi rebecca, to change the title go to 1st posting of your thread, on page 1 click on the edit button and you can change the title there. Good Luck with that I hope it makes sense. WOW is the only thing I can think of to say, that looks great, when was that done because it doesn't look very wet? Was that before the rain?

It was build by Hytek Concrete Products: http://www.hytekconcreteproducts.com.au/ I have more info on it should anyone want. Ours is a 3 x 3m cellar and including getting it to the block and installing it, was close to $10K.

Re: Our custom build in the Barossa - cellar is in! 57Dec 11, 2010 11:57 am Quick update from me: Should have our formal quote from the new builder in the next week and hopefully it's go ahead from ther. Although he did menetion that our windows have come in at $39,000!!!! Most homes he does is within $10,000 to $15,000 range.....far out. But we knew that would be the killer.......I 100% thank Rendition Homes for that! Good news: Shed going up today..... Not so good news: 3 x 3 x 2.4m cellar FULL of water after Tuesday's storm......will get you a pic of that one!!!!! Argggggghhhhhh!!!!

Re: Our custom build in the Barossa - cellar is in! 58Dec 12, 2010 11:26 am Good news Bec that things are moving along with the house. I was wondering how it was all going.

Re: Our custom build in the Barossa - cellar is in! 60Jan 05, 2011 5:48 pm Finally tomorrow we sign our contract!!! We had a preliminary meeting with our new builder on Monday afternoon and everything is looking great. He is foward with information and explains why he does things a certain way. VERY refreshing. I have a few more pics of the finshed shed and kids play equipment complete with 14ft tramp that Father Christmas delivered!! Will post tomorrow!!! Council pack sitting here on my desk just waiting for one or two more pieces of info then that goes in, as does the Bank pack. Hopefully it will just be a few months - maybe less before we see some real action!!! Pegging out some dimensions with the builder in the morning!!! YAY Rebecca Custom Build with Kersbrook Constructions - SA https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=37762 Current Status: Handover on Thursday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'd get the gutters to match your roof and pipes to match the paint - otherwise they become a feature. Nice pick with the paint colours! 1 34655 6 55921 So still no slab and apparently the concreter cancelled. Here come the delays... apparently things haven't recovered quite as much as I thought. I've been told maybe next… 8 31889 |
