Hello truckk
Sorry to hear that you are having delays. Check out the pre-build and the build timeline on my blog for details of dates. Rawson did do final drawings and…

Melondyche, nice bricks. Very similar to ours, what are they? Ours are boral blackheath

Hey melodynche. Yep we chose off white but it looks pretty dark! We will call our s/s tomorrow but what can they do at this stage??? Hopefully it dries lighter

Oh another thing, sometimes they have a price list of the display homes which tells you what the upgrades are and how much they cost. See if you can get…

We also got our tender extended at no charge but just make sure you have everything in writing and don't be embarrassed to ask heaps of questions until everything is…

We were able to secure a "pre-selection appointment"…

It would depend on how your loan is set up I guess because these days (I think) you can borrow 100%.
We borrowed about 85% of the total contract amount, so…

Same here. $950 then $3000 then $7000. We have a slab and they still haven't asked for the first progress payment.

Hey everyone
This thread seems to have gone stale.
There is a fresh new one now for 2015,

Hey Roomeat
Thanks for adding me to this list
I guess the thread that I created didn't really take off, you've done a lot more work,…

How exciting, we are building the Cabarita 28 in south west Sydney too and just had our slab poured. we have a builder friend who will be our own inspector,…

We had the same dilemma. Tiles/bamboo/laminate/engineered timber... the choice was very difficult and we still aren't sure if we made the right one.
We almost went bamboo but chose Quick-Step Largo…
