I don't want to sound dumb but what is a PIC. we are waiting on our developers approval then she said its PIC and building permit. :/ It is a property information certificate that is done by the local council.

I learned a lot from all of you guys. Very informative I wish I have known all this before we start. We are on our 16 weeks build in Manor Lakes Wyndam Vale. Just paid for the Lock up. I thought its a bit late to join but better late than sorry. Pooks your building is so quick I saw your blog it is very helpful. We got the land settled August 7. Start building Oct 16. Its taking a long time for us including waiting for Resolve and some of land issues. We have a new site supervisor. So hopefully it will be quicker this time. I noticed some of you have a new site supervisor too. Hope you wont get the last one we got. Thanks again for all the inputs its very helpful specially the post handover list. At least that one occupies us while waiting...waiting...waiting! Re: Anyone building with Homebuyers Centre in VICTORIA? 719Feb 25, 2014 5:58 pm Welcome, Ebony! The wait is easier when we're in the company of others in a similar situation. Let us know how you go. 19.03.14 - Land Settlement 15.04.14 - Building Permit 28.04.14 - Earthworks 14.05.14 - Slab Stage 20.05.14 - Frame Stage 11.06.14 - Lock Up Stage 03.07.14 - Fix Stage 15.08.14 - New Home Presentation Re: Anyone building with Homebuyers Centre in VICTORIA? 720Feb 25, 2014 6:37 pm Hi Ebony- welcome! I'm so glad you liked my blog...there was quite a while there where nothing was happening (but who was counting!?). It sounds like you have had a rough start...hopefully the end is a smooth ride for you. Which house design are you building? My first site supervisor was D@ug but he has moved on to the Pakenham area. I now have Bre@tt who is new to HBC but seems to be in the ball! Hey Gaviscon Girl, I have been talking with another person on here who is building in Parks Edge and she had the same "clerical error" with the titles...hopefully that is a sign that it is just around the corner!! Ruby123- yay for construction handover!! Woo-hoo.
