Hey Kossie, hows the house going? Have they started back?

We got told most trades comeback last week of January but some do start early . Its annoying we are in the same boat.

That looks Amazing.....congrats

We decided to pay the additional funds to make the build move forward.
Valuation remained low.
But adleast its getting done and hopefully will look great.

Ours is very small its 16.91 by 15 or 16.
The Eureka need to lose like 30 or 40 cm to fit it but homebuyers can not alter plans. We have…

The extra lounge is only for Eureka mate thats disappointing they didnt mention it.
We wanted the Eureka initially and they told us there is that option but the Aspect fit…

For 9900 they add the lounge over the garage. Did they tell you? They have a shower to powder option and double vanity option etc for the Eureka.......

The windows look cool.
The Aspect we are doing is built over the garage. Its a good look for a small house just hanging to see a built photo of it…

Hey Kossie,
Did you upgrade the windows to awnings on the facade? Or are they the standard one?
Also the house to the right in the photo looks like its built over…

Looks great. Glad to hear its smooth sailing.

Your correct. Thats whats meant to happen.
Spot on.
But not if they undervalue then tell.you to pay the additional or take the LMI.
Hope I didnt come across rude I am really…

Im really sorry Firsthomebuyer88 but I cant be bothered explaining it but appreciate your response.
Here is the best answer I can give.
LMI is supplied in house and capitalised so interest…

Hey First Home Buyer 88 .
We are building the Aspect22 and extending it quite a bit.
I have had it explained in detail and it was the bank trying to make…

The valuer works for the bank and broker/builder and of course there valuations and skill in avoiding risk grant them a continuation of employment and or fees. Thats the industry.…

I tell you its heartbreaking the stress this has caused hopefully the next valuation is realistic.

Yes contract stage

I think its the valuer and the bank trying to make more money.
We are getting a second valuation as where we are nothing similar with a high end finish has…

Hey Coolc.
Building 303k
Land 193k
Land ok
Construction came in at 257k
450k

I have no idea. The land was perfect but the bank does not want to playball on the inclusions for eg: Caesarstone is now classed as standard in most builds,…

Got the shock of my life today. Construction valuation came in 47k under cost. Bank is being very tight at the moment.
Look out for it people is at bites…

Ye me 2, I forget to extend the kitchen on the day and had to make waves. It got done in the end

Thanks I see what you mean.

Ok cool we are getting the black grout lol

Hey sorry to hear that. Hopefully they get onto it.
By an chance did you get a pic of the black grout?

Maybe post on product review about the stove and mention that Homebuyers were meant to be there for people and instead they are not willing to help complete tour dream…

Looking good. Hey did you change the grout to white?

I remember the first time we built with HBC it was a much better experience.
The 500 dollars to pick your own colors is a bit of a joke.
Wont…

Ye the white duck and a couple of blue greys for the contrast color.
We went the black metal roof and exposed aggregate driveway.
But to be honest it happened quite quickly…

Ahh its meant to be, we also went the Marble scheme.
Plumpton is just behind Caroline Springs.
The photos are great and much appreciated.

We are in Plumpton and hopefully the build starts in a couple of weeks.
Did you go with the color chart for the facade?
