Finally got a start date via email yesterday. Site cut is scheduled for 28th August (subject to weather) and then its all systems go up to the slab pour on…

Yeah!! Got an email on Friday advising that the build will start in the next 2 weeks. Getting excited now.
There's some good progress happening on the two that have…

Just received our letter in the mail from the Design Review Panel to say we've passed and we can start building now - now just waiting on a site start…

YEAH!!! We have taps. Let the building begin :)

It probably is pricey but we are a fixed price house & land package so we don't get slogged with extra costs.

It was a result of the soil test.

10 years10 yearshowdyneighbourshowdyneighbours posted:

We have to sink concrete piers too.

Really hoping for a positive news update from our builder this week - one that includes a tap being installed!!

I'm hoping for water in the park in the hopes that ducks will take up residence there. I love ducks!

It's really easy for us to pop in as we live a 2 minute drive away and I go past the estate twice a day taking the kids to and…

That's our over the road neighbour. Met him yesterday. He works for Porter Davis as a site supervisor and is the owner of the block. Looks like he might be…

Haha! I wouldn't call it landscaping ;)
On the Circa Facebook page they said someone else was mowing this week too. Guess it depends on the builder…

Lucky you guys. Carlisle and Porter Davis both want weeds gone.

10 years10 yearshowdyneighbourshowdyneighbours posted:

Our contract specifies we have to clear the block.

Haha! You can't miss him. He's in a high Vis tshirt and has a truck with him. He owns a Jim's Skip Bins franchise so is lucky to be able…

Yep, we'll be 8 Graziers Crescent.
My husband's there mowing/whipper snippering. He's been there for ages! Wave if you see him.

unless your block is half way through that shaded patch which ours is. For the sake of about 10m we have to pay the extra $4-5K. Not happy Jan.

10 years10 yearshowdyneighbourshowdyneighbours posted:

Haha! It wasn't our block that was being cut. It was one on Como!

10 years10 yearshowdyneighbourshowdyneighbours posted:

Just drove around the estate. There's taps on 7 blocks now (not ours unfortunately) and the first site cut started today. I'm waiting on an update from our builder on…

10 years10 yearshowdyneighbourshowdyneighbours posted:

Ours is ready to go. Just waiting on taps.

How'd you find out the townhouses won't be built until they rezone bushfire zone??? We back onto the townhouses....as you'd have seen ;)

10 years10 yearshowdyneighbourshowdyneighbours posted:
land in circa berwick

We're in Graziers Crescent. Hopefully zoning changes again the next few weeks before building starts. That $4-5K would be really handy for fences or landscaping!

10 years10 yearshowdyneighbourshowdyneighbours posted:

Carlisle would have credited our money back if we weren't actually zoned in the bushfire area which is why we're so annoyed that not even our whole block is in…

10 years10 yearshowdyneighbourshowdyneighbours posted:

We had the bushfire stuff included at tender too but we had a look at the government bushfire zoning map yesterday and it's changed. Have a look, you may not…

We spoke to Belinda (Circa admin) today and she said electricity will be on as of July 25th.
Also, just wondering how many of you escaped the bushfire zone? Our block…

We're building the Orlando 35. It doesn't look like that house is in their designs now. Must have modified it and called it something else.

H1 will affect site costs if your site costs aren't fixed.

10 years10 yearshowdyneighbourshowdyneighbours posted:
land in circa berwick

We found out months ago about the H1 but we had fixed price with Carlisle so no extra cost.

10 years10 yearshowdyneighbourshowdyneighbours posted:

Just went and had a look around the estate and saw 2 taps installed. Nothing on our block yet.
