My first build: The playground, Coolbellup - Free life homes

I pretty much had the same image of their office, but assumed the phone bill hadn't been paid so the line was dead too!
For mine, lock-up was on Tuesday and…

Hi Tom,
Really sorry to hear what you and all the other Freelifers are going through. I can't imagine how it must feel for you and the apparently 200 other impacted…

Hi Tom,
Good to hear it has started for you. Quite a contrast to your neighbour who seems close to lock-up from the picture! I'm amazed at the general progress of…

Hi Tom,
Shame about the concrete floors, but it seems as though everything else has worked out for you. Any update over the last couple of weeks about construction starting? My…

Hi Tom,
To change a single bathroom cupboard (middle cupboard of ensuite) to three drawers cost me $415 for comparison. I didn't put in any additional kitchen cupboards, but I've been…

Looks like my hopes of a pre-Christmas slab are also in jeopardy. The shire aren't sure whether my house is too close to the truncation on my block and are…

Hi Tom,
As a direct comparison with yours, this is how my timeline has gone so far:
16 May 2014 – Ballot drawn, did not get a block
22nd May 2014 –…

Hi Tom,
Good to hear an update. I'll admit I haven't been out to the development in past month, so I didn't realise someone already has a slab down. Did it…

Scrap my numbers... Forgot to square a number and will have to put in a large soakwell (or wells). Piping only would not be viable. Perhaps it can be included…

Hi Emma,
I don't know anyone who has built through the City of Cockburn yet, but several of my friends have DIY soakwells out towards the Swan Valley, or at the…

Hi Mapllewood, glad to hear from someone else in the development.
Do you have any indications when your construction will start or finish? Who's your builder?
The guidelines as far as soak…

I asked Lend Lease about the aerial and as I suspected, we will need one in the roof until 2017 when the NBN cabling is brought to Coolbellup. I believe…

Hi Tom,
I signed a pre-works contract with Celebration Homes a few weeks ago. Now I find myself doing the run around to various display homes or new areas to try…

So how has everyone been going over the last few moths?

Hey Tom,
I'm much the same that I'd actually like titles to be another 6 weeks or so. They aren't on the construction critical path so there could be another month…

How are we all going with builder negotiations?
I've signed up with Celebration Homes and have been through and added all the "major" features I wanted prior to putting pen to…

Hi Tom, appreciate the feedback.
I didn't take too much notice of the cheesy elements as I was too busy trying to not look suspicious driving slowly past the crowd! You'd…

Hi guys,
I've been a bit flat out at work so neglected this post for a little longer than I ought to! Looks like we're all first home buyers here but…

Hi Tom,
By chance I happened upon this post and am also building in The Playground. Looking at your plans, you've managed to get quite a house for one of…
