Hi Marcus-jdm!
From what I have seen you could probably squeeze in and complete the build for under $200k but I wouldn't say fully finished with landscaping, driveway, fencing, blinds…

That's a shame hooms. Maybe try to negotiate a price with the builders now before it expires and see if you get some type of reduced rate. Hopefully it's not…

We are building with Allcastle also so just I would add.
We are not yet completed (about 6-8 weeks off) but everything that Wazza has said above i would second, totally…

Congrats!! Hope you are enjoying you new place

Allcastles definition of adverse weather is ANY day of rain recorded on the BOM website is classed as a rain day, even 1mm. To normal people adverse weather would yes…

I felt the same at the beginning also, I was pretty happy with how the progress of the build was going. We had built previously and in comparison things seemed…

Great thread Wazza773! I have been enjoying following the progress of your build with Allcastle. We too have found our build progress with them slow and pretty frustrating.
With the…

Oh no, that is not good!
I know sometimes you can negotiate the price increase (if this is something you wanted to pursue). We negotiated our price increase before our contract…

There is a fb group - Bradley Heights residents group

I think there are a few different ways a valuation can be done, even with existing houses valuations can be done without visiting the house, kerbside view or full when…

Hi hooms - we are with ANZ also. No issue with the valuation, valued actually higher then our build cost.
Hi dami_nic01 - I would probably contact the builder next door…

Any two stories that are submitted through council, the council notify and send the plans to all neighbours, usually a 2 week period before proceeding
We…

All good, I found the page on fb

No way, that's terrible! Gosh that's makes me angry, little ****!
Yep I am on fb, what is the page name?

Congrats on the newborn
We had our piers done last week and they hit rock more near the front of our land, this meant our…

Just curious if anyone hit rock when doing piering in Bradley heights?

A few months delay is usually normal with land registration. Hopefully it's not too far off for you

A few months delay is usually normal with land registration. Hopefully it's not too far off for you

Most definitely, we will have to organise that
Fingers crossed everything keeps moving along fast for you. Hopefully we won't be too far behind.

I received it in the mail with a letter to say they have updated the guidelines to provide more clarity. They should send it to everyone so yours should not…

Just received updated design guidelines for Bradley heights and this now includes colourbond fencing, so you can now choose between timber and colourbond

Yes it's definitely looking great now that some houses are starting to appear. We drive past most days, one place has nearly the whole frame/Windows complete, looks great!
We won't be…

Fantastic!! Very exciting Hopefully we should see the first fence up soon for construction

Wow a CREDIT! That's a great surprise. Lets hope we all see some more of those lol
If you know who the certifier used is you…

Fingers crossed its only minimal upgrades needed to that area or nothing at all would be even better

The acoustics report that I got from Joe covers all the blocks. I think it would be similar to the bushfire report where if the report they had highlights your…

Sent. Let me know if it doesn't come through.

No, not at all. The way the report looks the only lots affected are the ones the run along Bradley street. Our builder did the same, $10k extra to comply…

That sounds right I would think. Our first place we went through CDC and it was 10 days max for approval.

Email sent. Let me know if it doesn't come through.
