Cheers Wiz Aww thanks Wiz it's nice to be able to celebrate with you guys Re: Building in Brooks Reach 33Mar 22, 2013 12:45 pm Hi everyone, Just a quick update to let you know the new Brooks Reach community website is now live and can be found here http://www.stockland.com.au/residential ... unity.aspx Hope you all have a great friday afternoon and a lovely weekend. If anyone makes it out to the BBQ on Sunday, come say hi -Rubyam Re: Building in Brooks Reach 34Mar 25, 2013 9:30 am UPDATE! Hubby got a call from our Site Supervisor this morning to say that the piering was being done today and they hope to have the slab completed by Tuesday next week (2nd Apr!!!) OH MY GOODNESS. We knew that something was happening as we visited out lot yesterday as we were out at Brooks Reach celebrating Good Neighbour day. To our happy surprise out lot had been cut/filled & smoothed out ready for what we now know is today's piering! I am going to try and pop out there on my lunch break today to meet him and snap a few shots. I will post a photo later as well as a shot of the block we took on the weekend. The neighbour day event was nice and the Stocklands team are always friendly. We didn't meet anyone new (sadly ) but we did get to show my sisters around the park, have a free sausage sizzle and some chocolates! It was another scorcher at 30degrees+ in the sun! Hopefully this sun sticks around until our roof gets put up! Happy days! Re: Building in Brooks Reach 35Mar 25, 2013 11:37 am Rubyam UPDATE!

Cheers Wiz Wiz, Happy birthday for your little darling for yesterday! There really wasn't a big turn out at all so i can't say you missed much; But yes, one of these days we will meet up!! When council get their act together it'll be nice that we can look out for one another's lot (though my dective skills still have to figure out where you are haha!!) The lot next to ours looks like their frame will be going up this week; McDonald jones don't seem to mess around! The lot across from ours has their frame up too and some of their windows too! -Rubyam Re: Building in Brooks Reach 37Mar 25, 2013 12:04 pm Rubyam When council get their act together it'll be nice that we can look out for one another's lot (though my dective skills still have to figure out where you are haha!!)

We're lot 325 - Morson Ave.... I am quite amazed at how quick things happen once the slab is done. Hopefully this will be the same for us when the time comes!

I'll have to go for a drive past during my lunch break one day this week! I saw the people next to you had their frames delivered at the end of last week, lucky ducks! It's amazing how quickly some places have been progressing the last couple of weeks, every time I drive by so much has happened. Rubyam, can you tell me if the cut and fill was expensive? You don't have to give me a price but just curious how they charge as we will definitely need one on our lot, and I'm sure it'll be quite a bit more as we have about a 1.7m cross fall, but just so I've got an idea of how they charge. Your block looks so flat I can't believe they had to do a cut and fill! Re: Building in Brooks Reach 39Mar 25, 2013 5:51 pm Oh, and sorry I didn't make it down yesterday, spent the day with family and friends at the beach it was a hot one! Re: Building in Brooks Reach 40Mar 25, 2013 9:33 pm Hi Ruby, Congrats, very exciting to see your block of land cut and filled. I contacted Stocklands regarding seeking a potential contact for grass cutting for our block of land, and Rachel responded by stating that she is unable to recommend a contact. I think I will have to call Jim' Mowing. Hi Nat and Wiz, Jumping into this forum for the first time. Ruby and I have been posting on each other's blogs for a while. So, here's my introduction: Venkat (and Viji, my wife) are building a two storey house. Our block is in Stage 2 and we are hoping to have a site start in mid-May. You can check out our building adventures on our blog: ourmetriconphoenix.blogspot.com.au Nat, Our Builder is charging approximately $3000 to excavate 1000 mm and fill approximately 600 mm. Note that this is on the top of standard site costs. Cheers, Venkat.
