Hi Heatherkam, we are all settled in now and I thought I'd let you know of a couple of things to watch out for. The wiring for the NBN…

Also Jonooo ask your SS if you want to look through my SS said he wouldn't mind showing me through at any time

I can see everything through the windows anyway, have lots of windows only thing I can't see is the vanity and main bathroom/toilet but yeah…

Tradies were there so able to have a look through, these photos have been taken at different stages though. I try and go there before work and catch the tradies…

Here are a couple of photos of my place too

Thanks Heather I went to the house today and very relieved to say that my stormwater has been fixed, down pipes fixed, meter box fixed…

Thanks Heatherkam. Our SS is really good, and that's half the problem, I feel like I'm being annoying and he has been really good with communication and I don't want…

Well I'm starting to lose the excitement with my build even though only 6 weeks to go. It seems every stage now there are issues and patch up jobs…

Yeah heatherkam based on my footings cost/area yours will be just over $23k assuming your soil is similar

Yeah that's why I asked them to allow for a bit extra as I didn't want any nasty surprises, well I just couldn't afford any! My sales person said around…

Yeah my slab area is only 187 which doesn't include the alfresco, I was really afraid of the footings cost, so very happy it didn't exceed $20k

I asked them to allow $20k as I didn't want any nasty surprises... the soil there is very reactive! My footings ended up being $18500 but my house is only…

Thanks Heatherkam, it's not grand, it's just for me but it's got some character LED, they were expensive and even more so with…

My extras included stormwater, grey water, telecom, down lights, $5K of kitchen upgrades, $1500 non standard tiles, $1500 termite barrier and other bits and pieces like bbq gas point…

House is looking great Jonooo! Bricking is so exciting as is when the kitchen is installed, actually every stage is!! My steel lintels were included but I probably paid for…

Thing is Jonooo one of the reasons I signed with that Salesman is because of his promise to work hard for me and offer 24/7 support and after sales service.…

I'm having aircon done with Fairmont, floor coverings done myself with Carpet Court Gepps Cross who do very good deals for Fairmont customers

Well I signed in May last year, I hope to be in by July! The first half of the process nearly had me throw in the towel. Fairmont, well my…

Hi heatherkam, sorry for my delay replying, I didn't hit submit! I found Lendlease great to deal with, they were very patient as Fairmont were originally very slow with all…

I'm building at Blakeview and originally my salesman told me I couldn't have higher windows
(Original was 1.8 high) I wanted them higher due to the higher ceilings. I persisted and…

I'm currently building with Fairmont too and found both Direct and Supreme really great. I spent weeks... ok months of weekends at both places sorting out my selections and…

Hello everyone, I'm building with Fairmont, first time building, very excited about things and pretty happy with Fairmont so far, hopefully anticipated completion date is July. Frame was completed last…

Hi everyone!

Hi there everyone. I'm a 50 year old female, building my first home and it's been a pretty traumatic ordeal so far.
