First timers building in Baldivis with DAH - Just starting o 17Jun 13, 2012 2:46 pm The DA Crew Hi MissEm. Just to let you know I've requested we send the selections booklet to you early - so that should be fine. Re the wallpaper, unfortunately the wall painting you've chosen doesn't include it - it's just one colour throughout. So if you want to use wallpaper, we'd recommend you wait until you've moved in and do your wallpaper then. Thank you so much! WRT the painting, do we only get one colour throughout the house? We spoke to someone at the Elwood and he said that we would be able to choose different colouring throughout the house as part of the promo package. Building the Riva by Dale Alcock Homes.

Miss Em - I forgot to confirm your postal details - could you please PM me? The selections booklet is there as a guide for you to note things in preparation for your Prestart sessions. Emma - you are right, it is a little out of date and we are in the process of updating it, so new clients will benefit from this in a few weeks time. You will be contacted by the Prestart team in around four weeks - I know it's a bit of time to wait, but there are a few things you can do to prepare in the meantime. I understand the frustration with the communication going quiet after the deposit is paid. As mentioned to MissEm, your Sales Consultant is there to answer all your queries at this time and feel free to contact them as and when you need reassurance or questions answered. At this stage, there is not a massive amount to update you with in regards to the progress of the council approvals and things like that - sometimes we are just waiting to hear from them and that can be frustrating. With the structural changes and what else can be changed at Prestart, it differentiates with each home, so this is something that your Sales Consultant will be happy to help you with. And then when you are invited to your selection sessions, you can contact your Prestart consultant with anything you're not sure about. Rob and Bronwyn, our client bloggers, went to our display homes literally every weekend in the lead up to their construction starting - giving them loads of ideas and enabling them to plan colour choices and so on. You can see our display home videos here: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL24591A057E72876F&feature=plcp Do either of you have a Pinterest account? If not then I'd recommend you create one, as it's a fantastic way to keep a digital scrapbook of all your ideas and will keep you very occupied while you wait! http://www.pinterest.com/ For other ideas and tips, check out all our client blogs as they really are great insight into what's involved in each stage. http://blogs.dalealcock.com.au/client-building-journeys/ We have also started sending client emails to help fill the gap between the very start and construction and to keep the communication lines open. Have you received any of those yet? If not I can personally send you them - they include some display home videos and a few tips. As I've mentioned, please don't hesitate to contact your Sales Consultant with absolutely anything - and you can always get in touch with me too. I hope this info has helped in some way.

There is just one colour included in the promotion - you can choose that one colour from a selection of colours. There are three coats that are applied - one of sealant and two coats of the colour. You are able to have additional colours, but this would be an upgrade and therefore an additional cost. I hope I am making sense? Best regards, Jemima. MissEm The DA Crew Hi MissEm.
