Re: Coral Homes Noosa 23 - Ormeau Ridge - ELECTRICAL APPOINT 130Aug 21, 2017 3:29 pm Hi there, I am wondering if I can join you guys. We are building the Noosa 23 at Old Bar (near Taree/Forster) we had our tile/colour appointment last Thursday and have our electrical on the 31st. Our plans are currently with the Certifier.. we were hoping to be in by Christmas but we're delayed by coral with the paperwork 🙄 So hoping to have plans into Council asap. Our land is registered and settled so just waiting on build to start.

Sounds like you are quite far along already. Would love to see some of your choices too! Let me know if you start a thread, I'll be sure to follow. Re: Coral Homes Noosa 23 - Ormeau Ridge - ELECTRICAL APPOINT 132Aug 21, 2017 3:33 pm Are Coral submitting your plans to private certifier or council before all your selection variations come back? Or what have they said is the process / timeline expectation? Re: Coral Homes Noosa 23 - Ormeau Ridge - ELECTRICAL APPOINT 133Aug 21, 2017 3:36 pm StephLee Are Coral submitting your plans to private certifier or council before all your selection variations come back? Or what have they said is the process / timeline expectation? Yup! We had a call from Lisa, who is now our Pre-Site customer service agent. Saying everything has already begun towards approval, she said there was a couple of things they still needed, mainly just covenant approval (Already done or submitted at least I believe), engineering approval for the retaining walls which they are organising and some other small pieces which we have provided. Lisa said to us with how organised we are and how much has already been done she is confidently expecting us to be pouring a slab within 8 weeks !

That's awesome - I am guessing we can't do that because our land hasn't registered or settled. I'm so excited for you guys Re: Coral Homes Noosa 23 - Ormeau Ridge - ELECTRICAL APPOINT 135Aug 21, 2017 3:40 pm StephLee Whaaaaat! That's awesome - I am guessing we can't do that because our land hasn't registered or settled. I'm so excited for you guys Thanks Stef! Counting down to seeing you two start too ! The DAY your land settles get your conveyancer to give you proof of settlement, ours just wrote a little one pager confirming it's settled and that we now own it and the transfer process has begun. Once Coral have proof of land ownership they can get everything to the private certifier that day. Once the private certifier has it you are looking at 2-3 weeks for them to sign off and then it's no more than a week in council as they just organise the paperwork, the hard yards have already been done by the Private Cert.

Oh yep good advice, thank you! How about the letter of commencement from the bank? Do you request that from the bank day of settlement? I have heard it can take them 5 business days to get it back to you Re: Coral Homes Noosa 23 - Ormeau Ridge - ELECTRICAL APPOINT 137Aug 21, 2017 3:44 pm StephLee Oh yep good advice, thank you! How about the letter of commencement from the bank? Do you request that from the bank day of settlement? I have heard it can take them 5 business days to get it back to you Well I believe for our bank they won't provide that until you have COUNCIL APPROVED plans. So once we get those back in hopefully late September we just request that from the bank and they should get that back to us in a week (Our broker is really good though so I suspect he will get this done quicker for us). And then once you receive that and give it to Coral you are looking at a start date within 5-10 days of them receiving that paper work! Then the real fun begins Re: Coral Homes Noosa 23 - Ormeau Ridge - ELECTRICAL APPOINT 138Aug 21, 2017 3:45 pm Caydenn StephLee Oh yep good advice, thank you!

Then the real fun begins Hahah I think that's right, I got mixed up So do you guys have an estimated finish date? And do you have a plan for your electrical appointment? We went in planning to supply downlights to save money but ended up using theirs, whoooops. Re: Coral Homes Noosa 23 - Ormeau Ridge - ELECTRICAL APPOINT 139Aug 21, 2017 3:49 pm Sure do! I whipped this up on Visio using our plans Also did one for electrical powerpoints and other electrical items. The circles with arrows are down lights, the infinity symbols are fans and the hourglass looking symbols are outdoor lights! It is missing lights in the Garage and Pendants as we are paying the sparky on site to do these. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ No estimated finish date, they reckon 12-14 week build time but we will see. Houses in this estate by Coral have been lightning fast so holding thumbs.

Looks good! Are you getting Clipsal to supply downlights? We got a sensor on our garage eave light and are so glad we did, its going to be super handy when we pull in, we might even upgrade to 3 lights in the future if they can wire off the one Oh and outdoor lights, get them wired from the eaves not the wall if possible for better visibility, especially if there is a downpipe near by the light will be blocked. By the way.. I thought we had a cooling off period of 3 days to finalise our electrical but they make you sign off on the day! You should pressure clean your roof first and make sure the paint you buy also is anti mould. 4 18569 Ask the council if there is a chance of getting build over easement exemption. Sometimes easements are unused and 24cm is not all that much. Good luck. And yes any builder… 2 13771 In Qld it is a requirement that a builder must have a cost breakdown, for building a home to the same specification, with the same inclusions and the same finish. So ask… 1 4346 |
