But it'll all be worth it I'm sure. Looking forward to sharing all the highs and lows throughout the process, will be especially great to read about the people building in the stages ahead of us so we can get some tips and a general idea of what to expect! Nothing is ever smooth sailing but bring it on...

Nothing is ever smooth sailing but bring it on... Nat Hi Nat, WELCOME As you can probably tell from any of my posts I had no idea what we were doing along the way (Hubby & I are building our first home!) So make sure you ask lots of questions, read lots and get everything in writing from both your bank and builder (and any third parties the might end up being involved!) Don't worry too much about posts on the nightmare thread; before our land got registered we went to a few different 'meetings' that stockland held at brooks reach to discuss different delays etc and there were a lot of angry people there that had deposited on land and were held up by delays. Just know that Stocklands is wanting to get the land off their hands as soon as they can, they don't like paying your rates!! Make lots of calls/emails to Barry or Rachel at Stockland and talk to people on the forum All the best, HOW EXCITING -Rubyam Re: Building in Brooks Reach 20Mar 08, 2013 11:28 am Nat84 Hi guys, thought I'd jump into this forum we just deposited in Stage 9 (Wiz, I think you know who we are!) and very excited but also a bit daunted by it all, especially after reading the Brooks Reach Nightmare thread LOL!

Nothing is ever smooth sailing but bring it on... Nat Hey Nat, Yay! I like your powers of deduction! lol How exciting for you guys, I'm loving the journey, hope you guys do to! Welcome...I'm beginning to love this forum, so much handy information - almost too much to take in sometimes. One of the best threads to check out in my opinion is the Things you Forget thread under Building a new house....I wish I had seen it before we had finalised our plans/tender. Some great information in there. Heard you are confirming everything this afternoon? Excellent! @Ruby - great news regarding your electrical appointment, sounds like you have it covered! We haven't done ours yet, but we will probably keep most things as it is as my hubby works for an electrical wholesaler and knows a few sparkies, so the only major change we will do is to move all the baton fixtures to the corners of rooms as we want to install downlights once we are in. It's frustrating relying on everyone else for all the documents and other stuff that has to be done, especially when there are time restrictions in place, fingers crossed for you that everyone plays nice! (At least it isn't Christmas time!)
