congratulations Rodtrac, when is your site start booked in for?
Didn't know about the pool pricing, that is a bit steep. How do they know which kids are residents and which are visitors?
Browse Forums Building A New House Re: settlers run, botanic ridge 452Oct 24, 2011 8:00 pm Hi people, Long time since on the forum but been busy with work and family. Well block titled last week and have done the tender process today with Carlisle Homes, we went with the Haven 35, long process but happy with the final design. One thing was confusing and I was wondering if anyone else has come up against this? We original went for a tiled roof but according to the covenants we cant have a house over 5 metres high because of the tree line and we had to go for a colorbond roof because the pitch of the roof is now 14 degrees instaed of the standard 22.5 degrees. We are a little bit freaked at the moment because I have never seen a roof with 14 degree pitch, can we move around in the roof, will a sparky be able to do any work up there? If anyone has come up against this as well we would love to hear about it. We are starting to think between the speed hump outside our block and the roof pitch, someone's out to get us!!! Thanks.

Re: settlers run, botanic ridge...we have site start 455Oct 25, 2011 11:28 am Sainter, we've just had our architect tell us the same thing! Seems so ridiculous. We wanted 10ft ceiling and it doesn't seem possible now. Even at 9ft it reduces our pitch to about 15 degrees. As an aside, Has anyone when buying their blocks offered less than the asking price and factored other things into their contracts? Ie body corporate fees paid for 1-2 years etc? We are unsure of what to put in our formal offer as it seems that it's going to cost us more to build something we don't necessarily want to build on order to live in the estate...

Hi Audrey, when you were up there did you see work going on, haven't been out for 3 weeks since catching bronchitis? Re: settlers run, botanic ridge...we have site start 457Oct 25, 2011 8:55 pm there was a van on the vacant block next to you, so I think they were working. Ive had a really bad cough for the last 2 weeks as well, hope you feel better soon. They were doing my plumbing today.
