After tomorrow I should be able to take a pic of a finished driveway....woohoo

Well it seems the list was too long, nothing much happened in the past week so PCI has been delayed

Thanks - its definitely different to the average elevation you see around. The challenge for the builder will be to finish everything before PCI, there's still alot to do:
-…

Almost there - PCI booked for 2nd May. House now has its "face"

Glass splashback

As of today, we are 3-4 weeks away from PCI - woohoo. Tiling is finished:

Maybe I should have taken photos every day - I go past so see if anything is happening to ours every morning (our son is going to school around the…

That sucks - at least your stuff is builder owned and they have to deal with it. We just had our non-standard wall tiles nicked, and had to buy…

So today I had to go an re-buy our listello/border tiles for the ensuite/laundry. As it turns out, somebody decided they liked them, along with all three vanity basins…

Well 4 months later and.....lockup! I'm hoping to get a move in date in April

GL keeping the prestart budget in check, ours was in the order of $25K by the time we did glass splashbacks and the like. As for electrical, Ventura did…

Well we finally got under way a few weeks ago. Brickwork is now in progress:

There have been more interesting delays to this point. We had an issue whereby…

Just rang the council, turns out the builder hasn't paid the fee, thus no approval. Apart from that, we also had a change of contract administrator which probably didn't…

Well - 5 months down the track, and still don't have a building approval. Who ever thought it would take this long!

Our Ventura house is going through approvals at the moment. Experiences have been good, except for a lack of communication from the contract administrator. Our sales rep was…

Thanks its been a long time since last may.
Stage 15 is at the current end of wright rd by my understanding, which is the bit they are currently doing roadworks…

Had to chase them for updates, every time it was just a couple more weeks. We finally settled on ours yesterday...woohoo. Now for the wait for the site plan…

Ours are stage 11. When did you get the "end of the month" eta? Based my experiences so far with this lot I'd be surprised if they were…

After a *very* long wait (delayed 4 months) our land is finally titled, all go for the site survey and engineers report so we can make some progress.

So we are now back to Feb 25. At least for the first time ever I got an email from Stockland without prompting them, better late than never eh

We have experienced slight delays with landgates approval timeframe.
The previous estimation of titles by mid-January was based on a one week turn around for landgate to provide clearance.
This has…

I am going to email stockland and see what the "updated" estimate is. There is no way its going to be this month, the roads aren't sealed and none…

I dont think so either. Nothing is happening, all the work seems to be going into later stages this week.
Did they give you the 16th date quite recently?

Yep long handles same as yours on the pot draws. And the glass splashback to the height of the rangehood - a $1989 option, with a massive $123…

Our Leeuwin will eventually be built in Newhaven, that is if Stockland pull their fingers out and actually finish our land so we can build on it. Even though…

Hi
I have a question re your ensuite corner window. How do you go with privacy in there with the clear glass? Did you end up putting in window…

The settlement agent reckons they will know about 3 weeks before titles are ready, as they get notified when the application goes in.
P.s. they were still working on our stage…

We are on the same street then, # 1049
Went there on Saturday, kerbs are in, and they are working weekends on it.

Looks nice for a corner block. Which stage is your block in, we are also awaiting our titles in Newhaven (delayed from the original Nov to Jan)

Some other stuff we got quoted for at prestart:
Glass splashback (to height of 750mm ) $1989
Stainless steel kickboard in Kitchen $178
Mitred tiling in bathrooms - $253 ea
