Hi Pops,
I love your plan! Would you mind PM'ing the details of your landscape/retic quote? I am at a complete loss when it comes to the garden! Would be great…

Thanks guys! Probably should have put this in Heating and Cooling..oops!
Does that mean when I connect to my electricity supplier I should connect to single phase only? Or go ahead…

Ok, so I have done a lot of searching and reading on here but can't quite find the answer I'm looking for, apologies if it has already been asked and…

We had to pay LMI because we borrowed just 90%. Our broker told us that it depended on our LVR and age didn't have anything to do with it.

I haven't had any personal experience with them, but there is a house around the corner from our build that's being done by them and it seems to have gone…

You're slab looks huuuuuge! Congrats!
Had a look at your selections too, very nice
Our siteworks were finished last week

Congratulations!!
Pink garage remote?! I hope I get one!! Haha.
Looking forward to seeing the pics!

Hi Mishka85,
Unfortunately I don't have a positive story to add to this thread. I had a very negative experience with HBC and pulled the pin on building with them. I…

I don't have a thread just yet, I thought I'd hold off until I get some action on site. I'm not sure if I can wait though! I'm building with…

Wow I love your plan! I'm currently waiting on a confirmed site works/slab date. I never thought I'd be so envious of someones portable toilet!

Thanks for all your suggestions guys. I spent all day today on the phone to the Shire, the surveyors, the planners and the solicitors listed on the covenants. No one…

Thanks for that link!
The covenants state that the developer has to be provided with final plans so they can sign off on them prior to building commencing.
And it does…

I am building (or would like to be) in an estate which is roughly ten years old. The land was sold from the developer to a person who then…

Yes we're building single story, and it will be ducted reverse cycle.
Thanks for the advice!

Hi all,
So, call me naive, but can you install ducted air con after handover, or is it too hard?
Some installers are saying they have to go in during construction and…

I wouldn't mind if it was and it led me to a great pit of money

We had a bit of a dig yesterday, dug about 6 inches down and 4 inches under and we didn't hit anything hard. It is about 15cm thick though, so…

Oh also, how close to the kerb should it be if it was a soakwell or something similar? That would be council property correct? So technically it should be inside…

Was it on your deposited plans?

I've checked all the plans I got with the certificate of title and there is nothing on there, I even ordered them from landgate again to make sure I didn't…

So you mean it should be marked on the site surveys? Sorry I don't talk property speak very well yet
Nathan - It doesn't sound like…

Ok so this is a close up if it.
If it was a stormwater drain or something to do with sewage, would this be marked on the site surveys that come…

I'm going to get a better picture of it. It has no markings or writing on it. It's just completely plain with nothing to indicate what it may be. I'm…

Oops, image didn't work

I'm not really sure if this is the right place to post this in, but here goes.
Can anyone tell me what that circular piece of concrete may be on…

I will! I'm so excited to be able to start my own build thread, but I probably wont do it until we have done prestart or I will bore…

It's ok to be biased :p
Not sure if it was the same salesperson as you, but both mine and the guy at the display (which we visited several times) have…

Thanks, I hope so too!
Good news is we signed with them today! Our consultant has been so helpful over the last few weeks, and surprisingly with all the costings he…

Yep, we already have our block we're building in Bertram

Thank you for that, it's all starting to make sense! Our builder has given us a quote for soakwells, we are thinking that as first homebuilders it might be easier…
