Is anyone building at Mawson Green, Meadows SA?

Hi, chuckles.
We have handover on Friday, 22 April - so will be moving in shortly (just had the driveway poured today).
I've noticed no activity here for some time,…

Who did you buy your water through, JakkiT? I've put some money aside for buying water in (when we finally get to move in) and $985 is cheaper than some…

Just wondering - is the NBN up and running around Aurora Circuit yet? The map is saying it is:

Hi, Bonython07. We have gone through Tanking You (Tony Migalka) for our tanks and installation. Have not had any issues from Devine/builder/Council. We have 2x 22,500 L…

Anyone got any recommendations for a good earthmover? Most of us still have giant piles of dirt out the back, I think... but if anyone has ideas, we're in the…

Hi Cindy,
Yeah, it looks like there's just a tiny corner that will be on the boundary between the two blocks. Depending on what your plan was, we may or may…

Holy kermole we have bricks on site :shock:
And window frames, which was unexpected, as they have no windows inside them (though hubby says that's…

Thanks Vogue, Lot 51 has contacted me so Cindy will be able to get a hold of us when she needs to.
And that sucks about your sleepers and steel!…

Oh wow I wasn't even thinking it would move quite THAT fast! I guess we'll see what the site supervisor tells me tomorrow.
We were actually driving behind an Andy's…

We sticky-beaked at your block today, Shel, and no toilet yet! We were trying to figure out what you need to do with your split... is it because you slope…

So our frame is almost all up already! :shock: That was far quicker than I expected. I'll give our site supervisor a call tomorrow as…

Wow JakkiT, 16 weeks! We were told it will be up to 24weeks from slab pour, but that their average is far less. Of course, we're expecting there to be…

Thanks, Shel :) We are only 11m wide at the street, with one boundary being quite diagonal, which means that we had up to 12m…

Hi all!
So far I've let hubby do all the talking on here, and just browsed through this thread for the first time myself - great to see so many…

Hey guys. Has anyone else been told you need a separate "bushfire fighting" rainwater tank? If so, what have you done about it? I've been told that…

Hi, Jakki!
Regarding retaining, what are your dimensions? Is it one wall or two?
I had quotes ranging from $6,500 to $12,000. What you've been quoted seems very…

Many thanks to Mahalia for putting us in touch with Kristyn and Matt!
Welcome, Kristyn! Nice to meet you - by the way, your house looks amazing! …

Thank you, Jakki!
I didn't even consider Ben as I just assumed he wouldn't be able to give out their details. I have sent him an email, so hopefully between…

Thanks for replying, Mahalia! I have PMed you!
It's so strange - I seen so many in this thread stating the same thing - that the retaining walls come last!…

Good to see everyone's progress happening so quickly! Our block was cut and filled on Tuesday.
Just wondering what your experiences have been with retaining walls and your adjoining neighbours.…

We are going to soon start our build! We are ready for drawdown payments to start as soon as we have final council approval and a few other loose…

Our plans have gone to Council now.
We also had retaining walls required on our engineers' report - our builder just said they had to be done before they…
