ok - time to confuse the issue
If it were me..
1. I'd go Monument on the lot except…

Aaaahh.. was wondering how it was going and how it turned out... so progress sounds good! Was almost going to pm you to find out if you'd made up your…

Eh-hem... now, Ikeea is one thing, but Howard's Storage Mega-Swallow-You-Whole world is awaiting you... omgd .. lots to choose from and you can actually find your way out

Good for you - great to know the wheels are rolling.
Note there is a terrifc thread on here which posts 'M' upgrades and their prices which I found invaluable and…

Postscript: Yes, depending on what your financial situation/lending institution requirements are - you might need to know the full figure of the contract for finance approval of that amount. I…

Sorry for the vent / angry post - I'm annoyed
It's understandable - and this process can be frustrating, certainly. I think it can be stressful for two main reasons: a)…

Interesting questions - I take it you're trying to work out the costs if/when purchasing your own block? In which case it's a good idea to investigate the bigger picture…

So to revisit the cost aspects, inceasing ceiling height to 2700 was $4,800 for a single storey and was $700 to upgrade door heights. All doors taller (including pantry) except…

In my opinion, go the 2700 and go higher (2340) doors to match. I'm not sure were the $12,000 comes from - is that a two-storey? Might need to check…

In Victoria you pay stamp duty on the land, not on the house (since it isn't built). You will also need to pay land tax at settlement - although this…

I'm joining this debate late, but I have been in the same situation (i.e. bank re-valued six months after unconditional approval only to devalue by approx $20,000 - nightmare -…

Ooh - good questions - tough, even - nice.
If you open the link to the colourbond colours, the 'traditional' combination is offered (far…

Eh-hem. Here we go with some suggestions.
1. If it were me, I'd be going Monument:

Unless of course they want their Final Payment
Depending on the state of things, granted you're…

So perhaps it is time to re-visit these questions.
As noted by another Sandarra resident lately, there have been break-ins recently during construction which is distressing to all concerned. It…

Unbelievable.
And you know, it raises the issue posted on the general discussion thread about how our corporate body (or whatever you call it now) fees are best spent, and my…

Ok - a bit of catch-up here... portico rocks bet you are glad you stuck to your…

oh man - i'm stoked
I…

Finally - a roof!
My Big M website tells me the roof is completed, so I guess they…

Now ... driving around the estate, I notice I have experienced twinges of letter-box envy. Mostly because whenever I look around for any around the hardware traps (part of the…

Now - the 'chinaman's hat' feature - I'll be having those too - talk about competition! I thought the look would be unique
Did…

And look at that blue sky... perfect for putting on some roof tiles
Always wondered how that roof…

A bit off-topic, but where is your hot water/gas provision - what side of the house, what is it near - and is there concrete underneath it? Just noticing other…

Yes, less Stargate and more Parthenon
Hey thanks for the pics - seems as though progress is pretty much on track with how long…

These things can fall through the cracks. Email Kylee for a receipt - that seems to get the wheels in motion - also ask her to send out the relevant…

Gee they've given you generous windows for ensuite and over the bath - the narrow ensuite window looks great - and will let a whole bunch of light in as…

Hi Sanmark - The developer sends out instructions regarding this with quite a degree of detail. As part of the process, you or your builder needs to complete an inspection…

hey thanks buddy - progress looks great
And I'm stoked about the back - didn't really…

Mmm.. handover.. that has such a great sound to it And seems like in record…
