We are in almost exactly the same position at the moment! Had our final inspection booked in for today but it looks like it's been pushed back to next week,…

Hi all,
Apologies for the lack of recent updates... getting snowed under with everything at the moment!
Shellzmac, sorry to hear about your troubles, especially with the splashback, but I must agree…

Ours was extended out to 1.2m x 6.47m and every time we take a look at the house we always comment on how it's not getting any smaller! Will be…

Some solid advice above, marcoakis!
I would also suggest visiting the showroom (of whichever builder you choose) well before your colours appointment. It is much easier to pick out colours and…

Nice one Szep - The start of the build is crazy and exciting... It absolutely flew for us and our frame was up quicker than we could take in that…

Brilliant progress Peta!
It looks as though we are both at very similar points of the build. That triple stacker out to the alfresco looks pretty amazing indeed! It must be…

Thanks Theon!
We are very happy with how they've come up.. it's difficult to capture how they look in just one photo, especially with work still being completed (photo 3 in…

Hi Shellzmac, welcome to the forum! Glad to hear the tilers did a solid job.. they aren't too far away for us! Would love some photos if you have any?
I've…

Happy New Year all!
How is everyone progressing with their builds after the break?
We have had bricklayers at our site every day so far this week and it looks like…

It's pretty impressive what can be done in a week with prefabricated frames.
This time a week ago it was an empty block ready for the slab to be poured and…

Congratulations Bandha!
Rotten luck RE: your SS with the ankle and the poor cleanliness of the tradies. Hope that's the end of it though and it's all relatively smooth sailing for…

We did like the Chealsea but we ended up choosing the Oslo, so a very similar plan anyway!
Everyone's seems to be moving so quickly at the moment, lock up…

I can definitely vouch for the whole "speeding things up in December" notion that seems to be around at the moment.
I took this photo on Friday the 5th (you'll have…

Only early days for my build! The latest pictures I have at the moment are of a square patch of dirt (which I must admit, is actually very exciting).
The slab…

Looks great, Bandha.
It looks like we've chosen the same window frame and garage door colours so I can't fault any selections on the front of your house at all!
Congratulations on…

Hi all,
So construction has begun!
Currently just a scraped block with a portaloo, skip bin and fencing. Expecting to have our slab poured next week and the frame up two weeks…

We intended to go with Osprey as well, but it just didn't work when matched up against our floor tiles (Stone Ivory), so we opted for a darker grey with…

Good to hear everything is going well, Shalee! We are about to start on the exact same build (Oslo 24) as you next week, so I must compliment your taste…

Everything looks fantastic! Congratulations on moving in and on a very impressive build!

What a great build you have going here, trindy!
Your choices are matching up incredibly well and it's always nice to see a few mistakes fall the way of the…

Hi all,
Good to hear most of you are progressing along, even if there are a few bumps along the way!
We've now got our building approval and permit and our handover…

Hi Macky,
Welcome aboard!
To give you a bit of an idea, here's a rough list of our main upgrades (we are building an Oslo, so a similar type of floor…

Hi guys,
Sorry to hear about your troubles, Szep - That's a mighty long time from signing the PWC! Hope you've got all your bad luck out of the way already!
Our…

We went with the same bricks! It's good to see that they look just as nice on an actual home as they do in the showroom (always hard to tell).…

I think you are spot on here; the colour file could definitely do with some improving.
They sent us out two copies by accident and they were entirely different -…

Sorry to read about your issues, Bandha and Suranga. Hopefully this is as bad as it gets for you guys and the rest is smooth sailing.
On a more positive note,…

Thanks for the replies everyone, will take your suggestions on board and hopefully not get too overwhelmed by it all on the day.
Pippa, coming along nicely - Love the look…
