Browse Forums Building A New House Building with 101 Residential in Secret Harbour (WA) 11May 07, 2012 8:10 pm Prestart complete!! Wasn't too bad, but I haven't received the costings yet! Leighlou, how long did they tell you the build would take? They told me I'd be moved in in 6months!!! That's a shock, I was expecting 12months. But the sooner the better (-: Re: Building with 101 Residential in Secret Harbour (WA) 12May 07, 2012 9:14 pm chris0189 Prestart complete!! Wasn't too bad, but I haven't received the costings yet!

Thanks Re: Building with 101 Residential in Secret Harbour (WA) 13May 08, 2012 12:36 pm They told me six months from slab down. Yours isn't six months from prestart is it? haha. Still waiting for my slab, I've got everything crossed that it might happen before the end of this month so I can be assured of moving in by Christmas. The said following council approval it's two weeks til slab down. Come on council!!!

Re: Building with 101 Residential in Secret Harbour (WA) 16May 09, 2012 1:02 pm Hello Chris, We just visited 101 yesterday and are considering Cappuccino design as well. Our block is 13.5m wide, How big is your block? Cant see it on the plans that you posted. Interesting to see the staircase is at the left, not in the centre. I was told that it was not possible at all...........hmmm......need to talk with them again......... I like the idea of a balcony. Also the top studio is 8x6, which is not the standard size too....... Where u guys building? Is the Balcony on top of the Alfresco?? Cheers Nitin...... Re: Building with 101 Residential in Secret Harbour (WA) 17May 09, 2012 7:03 pm 'Aubin Grove Fan' and 'Enelya' I haven't recieved my Pr-Start change costings list yet. Possibly tomorrow but I will let you know. From what I can tell 101 charge a little more for pre-start changes than some other builders but we'll see! 'Leighlou' I was told I would be moved in within 6 months? But then I mentioned that I haven't even got settlement on the land yet and that will probably be delayed because I will be away for 5 weeks now and not able to sign documents. But she still said It could still be 6 months? I doubt it but we'll see! 'Nsfw', I have a 20m block so I have 5m on the side of the house. But that means i'll have plenty of room for a double gate for a boat. You would definately fit this design on your block if you didn't have the garage extended out 1.5m like I have. They had to push the master bedroom to the back to allow for the staircase to the upperstory. And the original house plan was flipped to allow for the main living spaces to face the north. I will message you my house designers details. He did a great job and was very easy to communicate with. I was going to go with an 8x8m studio room (as I had to extend the living and dining room out 1m to meet minimum living space area set by the estate), but it ended up being substantually cheaper to go with a 6x8m studio room. You can really choose exactly what you want, and they will design it and tell you how much it costs and ways to make it a little cheaper. I'm building down in Spyglass hill estate in Secret Harbour. And the balcony is ontop of the alfresco. I really wanted a bigger alfresco, but because the balcony creates the roof of it, the balcony was already as close to the rear fence as allowable (7.5m), so I had to settle with a slightly smaller balcony.. Chris Building with 101 Residential in Secret Harbour (WA) 18Jun 01, 2012 5:30 pm Satterley approval of plans came back today and they are now with the independent assessor. And my formal finance approval also came through today! But everything is on standstill at the moment as I need to sign the bank forms to apply for settlement on the land. Which is hard when I'm not back from work for another 2 weeks. Then once settlement goes through the builders can apply for a building licence from the council! It's all happening slowly but surely. Re: Building with 101 Residential in Secret Harbour (WA) 19Jun 03, 2012 10:02 am Congratulations mister! That is awesome news Not sure about slowly but surely Seems like a rapid pace to me but that's just in comparison to mine. haha. So two weeks til your home and can finalise settlement, then 10 days in council and then it all starts?! Can't wait to compare notes!! Building with 101 Residential in Secret Harbour (WA) 20Jun 03, 2012 2:18 pm Not sure how long the council will take but yep, home in 1.5 weeks now. I'll be sure to get the forms signed and sent off ASAP! 101 are saying 6 months from now till handover, aslong as there aren't too many delays on site due to weather. So it looks like it'll be early next year. Which is fine by me as I am away at work over Christmas anyway (-: 1 5178 Hey guys building a new place through a volume builder and just wondering if i should complain to the site supervisor as we just had plasterboard installed.
