Yes we went with Mike. He did a good job
And we are planning to stain our timber fence to protect it and make look better.

Regarding independent construction inspection, just sharing my experience.
We did hire one, but on frame-brick stage. It was absolutely useless. The guy did his job good, but there were really no…

In fact, you could put colourbond and this is what people are doing on their own risk. But with putting colourbond you are:
-Going against design guidelines in EP. As a…

+ 1 I haven't received that mail, but it's probably because we've just moved in. I will also submit my objection online. This is ridiculous that they want to do…

I wish they asked me. I would tell "No double story buildings around me" haha

For a new house estate they do not ask neighbours, it's only when building in an existing suburb.

Thanks Galedpk, will contact him.

Hi All,
a question to all who are close to completion or already planning the following:
Do you have any good contact:
- electrition,
- landscaper,
- fencing.
Would appreciate any suggestion.
Thanks

Hi bans,
about what school this event will be?
Thanks

I think in your case definitely private certifier. Council process normal applications 3 months approximately. They do have FastTracking (2-5 days) and some others processes, but they are only for…

Hi maryandbish,
Welcome to the forum and EP community
I think almost noone here is designing and building the house on their own.
All go with builders and…

Also it's not only noise, but vibration report as well.
We are in stage 4 release 2 and we did an acoustic report due to close location to the rail line.…

We are in stage 4, release 2 and we do have recycling water connected. Although I noticed that some of our neighbours still installed the tank.
The builders must be…

It's been a long waiting time for all in Stage 2 release 5.
Congratulations to all who finally reached the settlement stage!

We did it on our own. But it's not a trivial task and believe me it's hard, because the soil is pretty tough clay. But the most difficult part is…

Walking would be great, but as I understand it's long time to have a proper road connection.
We went this weekend and found neither a proper driving road (fast connection) nor…

This post was confusing to me, simply because I missed that news about any public consultations.
Found it

Very and very strange, especially for non registered lots. Called to the Council today and they said that there won't be any house number allocation until 95% of construction cases…

Congratulations Stage 4 release 3!!! Looking forward to seeing your houses growing around

Hi jtan9217, I will write a private message.

No, we don't have it. A year ago we visited some home show and met a guy from the construction check company. I talked with him a bit and did…

Totally agree! The site manager is the key person. I saw that our site manager also leads other constructions in the area. So it's a big chance you will get…

Hi ,
I see you are going to build with Rawson Homes, the same builder we are building with now. Just want to say BE ATTENTIVE. Better to hire someone…

Also, there is already interest registry for Frasers group. http://www.frasersproperty.com.au/SMP/N ... ndson-Park
They are planing to start selling apartments, villas and terraces this year.

Interesting. "Estimated Completion Date: 2019" seems to be about completion of the project, not the start. To complete whole project by 2019 they should start very soon. They must be…

Hi Amy2015,
our application was fast-tracked. It took just a few days to process and approve construction (it was in September). Usually, it takes a few months for Liverpool council with…

Hi benzz3,
thank you for sharing the news. It explains a lot: why they've been so slow, no land have been sold for a whole year (they were probably negotiating better…

As I know the min size for duplex is either 600 or 700sq m. 483 is too small.

Hi benzz and Nug,
the thing that worried me a lot is that I supposed EP would be growing area in the nearest future. Mostly because of the future airport and…

Hi, bluemviews.
It's just a tender. Builders prefer to add this allowance to be on a safe side and don't surprise customers with big pluses later. When they do…
