Hi Michelle and others
My renderer wants me to send him our colour selection, and I'm yet to know what to do.
The front door and garage…

Hi mdzzj,
I just finished our post contract variations list and sent it to the builder. I included the off-white mortar in it.
Cheers

I took samples of the Boral Mist/Moss/Coco and went to the house. I put all them side by side, and it seems that MOSS is the closest colour to the…

Thanks guys. Yeah, the garage door, window frame, downpipes seem to be all the same colour which is Jasper
There are two issue so far.…

Jasper is more of a dark brown colour, right ? The door is more of a dark green/grey.
Thanks for your input
Edited: I just found a…

Hi Helen, and happy new year to you and your family
The bricks look a lot lighter in colour than the pictures. I thought they might…

Hi all,
We fell in love with the colour this house once we saw it and we decided that we should change the colour of our selection before it's too late.…

I think Alex has already moved in. I saw his car in front of his house last Saturday. His house looks fantastic

Our site cost went from $22,000 with Porter Davis into $11,000 with a small volume builder, so it all depends on how much your builder is willing to rip you…

Congratulations Erin
Is yours going to be right in front of the house entry like ours ?
Ours is located…

Thanks for that mate and your house looks great.

Thanks for your valuable replies onc_artisan.
I'll be getting quotes for this slab based on their engineering plan and see how much extra I'm meant to pay for these beams,

You mean piers at porches and corner alfresco ?
Beams are for flexural strength and footings for stability of the slab.
The plan you have shown is the design of the…

Thanks for your reply. I really appreciate it.
So based on your calculations above, how much extra I should be expecting to pay on the top of their standard slab ?
Where…

The problem is I can't read this document properly.
How many beams will be installed in the slab ?
I remember reading here somewhere that the cost of each beam is $250…

I'm going through a small volume builder, and they provide a H Class slab as a standard inclusion. In another word, the slab is inclusive of per-square quote.
They also allowed…

So, if the builder provides H Class slab as a standard inclusion, they shouldn't charge us ~$17k for the allowance allocated to it, should they ?
We're just confused and don't…

Thanks for the feedback Lee
We haven't had any problems so far. Anthony has been great to deal with.
We received our council permit today, so let's…

Hi all,
We just received the engineering work for our slab, and I'm not quite sure what kind of slab is to be poured on our land.
Will they use beams/piers for…

Sorry to hear about your sister and niece.
It's VicRoad's fault for not doing their job when people apply for a license.
My brother in Europe (Norway) had to go through an…

Well, Alex is not building with Creative Mode Homes, we are.
It's been a good experience so far, but there are few things that I need to get sorted out with…

Is the question directed to me or Alex ?

Fantastic news Lisa. Did you end up getting an independent inspector to have a look at the house ?

It looks like a display home. Good work Helen

Yeah and it's also cheaper than paying premium price for the 20m cables.

We're going though a small volume builder. They're called 'Creative Mode Homes'.
I was there at the land to see what's happening with it, and it looks like that tradies transferred…

Every Saturday I go by your house, I see the garage door is open It looks like they're working hard to finish it.
We haven't…

Looking great Lisa

Hi Richie,
Nice floorplan We're going through Creative Mode Homes as well, and I know someone else in this forum is currently building with them. They…
