It took 15 weeks, but you'd probably add another 2 onto that if Hallmark are doing your concreting, landscaping, and flooring. To give you an idea our contract completion date…

We weren't allowed to have anyone on site before handover. So floors are getting done Monday, along with some extra concreting. But that's OK.
Most of our extra work is…

Well, it's officially happened. I now own the home.
Very happy with the way it turned out. Now onto the fun stuff (yes, that's sarcasm)....landscaping and moving.

Not sure if I've said before but we have a tentative handover date of the 18th July.
I'm already over packing...lol.

Went out to the house today to meet a guy about landscaping and was pleasantly surprised to see the kitchen installed, painter hard at work and the plumber due in…

All good, I worked out how to send them to you direct. Social media of any form and I never work the first time...haha

Hey AMC, just checking, did you see photos I tagged you in of the brickwork?

Made it out to look at the house yesterday. My brickwork looks pretty good where there won't be render. It's very rough in the areas to be rendered, but that…

Shower heads in wrong spot...twice. Internal doors opening the wrong way. Tried turning my little study nook into a cupboard.

I'm heading past the house today, so will get some photos of the brickwork on mine. We have the same bricks so will be a good comparison for you AMC.…

Was around Week 7 for lockup. Fortunately I hit both lockup and downpipes installed a day or two before the storm hit.
A few houses being constructed around us weren't…

Looking good AMC. I just snuck a peak at your instagram pics and I have almost identical external colours. I went with a contrasting facial, but identical otherwise. It looks…

Can't fault the consultant, or the site supervisor (though I have had to chase him to return a call twice). Whatever the black hole that encompasses head office is…

Just a quick update. Slab is down! All happening now.

Hopefully you'll be able to sign off and get started early May then.
On the plus side, starting now closer towards winter should mean less rain days then building…

New home- Moon Dust bricks with natural mortar

I've gone with a dark grey roof and Moon Dust double height bricks (and also with Hallmark). Unfortunately we had to upgrade to off white mortar due to covenant requirements.…

In fairness the sales person was great (especially with the endless queries...someones definitely getting a bottle of wine when it's all over...haha), was when it got to head office things…

Quick update.
Start date all locked in. Let the fun really begin.

How many data points did you put in?

I've currently planned for dual points to all bedrooms, kitchen, and three points to the media room, loungeroom and study nook all cabled back to a patch panel in the…

I'm not sure. I'd like to...but I'm the sort of guy who hasn't updated his Facebook status in 2 years. Might have a chat with the other half and…

Hi Icebreaka,
I am. And so far so good.
Though fortunately I took advice from OlyOly and made my own notes during colour selection.
When that came back for sign off it had…

Fingers crossed the build stage is faster. It seems that there is a bit of a black hole in head office. I've spoken to a few people who…

Doesn't look like there is a recent thread for Hallmark so thought I'd kick start one.
For those who have build with them how did you find them?
