My neighbours and myself have used Allwood Fencing. Fences look good and have had no issues with them so far.
Moving in before Christmas is very exciting!! We are in the…

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone knew the contact information for Henley's complaint deparment? Or anyone other than my builder or my admin? After waiting two weeks to hear…

Bump.
Anyone?

We will be having our final inspection on our new house in a weeks time. Last weekend my partner and I went to have a look at our house and…

I don't think they have don't much on ours either due to the holiday. The SS told us we might have our house done sometime in Nov, but he'll let…

We were at fixing stage, but just received the invoice today, so we are now in completion stage. Had a look on the weekend and our kitchen, laundry and bathroom/…

From what I researched most people do those stages, so it definately made me think I made the right decision. Hope all goes well

Congratulations!!
Now for the fun stuff to begin!

Yes that is a good point. Our builder has been pretty good with fixing things and letting us know, but we haven't got Darbecca booked for all stages so there…

No worries. We chose Darbecca from all the reveiws on this forum. The report from the inspections are quite thorough and easy to read and I'm very happy with their…

We are getting an external inspection done by Darbecca to inspect frame, pre-plaster and final inspection stages. It is not essential to get this done, however we have chosen to…

kamjaya we had a few contract variations that the builder brought up after our tender and contract signing which equalled to $2K. However this was before they actually began on…

Our house is SE facing and we had to upgrade our insulation and double glaze windows but only on one side of our house.
Adrianaa is correct that is does…

I love that our builder sends pictures of the house regularly, and regular updates. I just saw photos that we now have a roof! The Lock-Up inspection is happening Monday…

Thanks for that Troyziee. We've only just started building so hadn't really looked into fencing costs yet.
I'm actually really dreading our driveway costs as it's pretty big and I…

Our neighbour has organised our back fence to built and I have received a bill in the mail. We have been quoted $60/m and was wondering if thats a reasonable…

Yes we got ours. Do you know if they'll go up by much when we move in?

Our neighbors, Highmark homes, started at easter time and they are already moved in. Typical though that next week its predicted to rain everyday haha.
It can be a bit overwhelming.…

I know the feeling andrianaa. Sometimes we thought "We're almost there" and then something else would come along and drag it out further. At this moment I'll be happy to…

Site starts next week So hopefully the weather stays reasonable and doesn't slow the build down.
adriannaa we chose the barkley facade. I think it…

Contract signing was 2/6 so almost 2 months ago. Feels like the longest process.
That's exciting adrianna. As long as you have your finance sorted it shouldn't be as long…

We're just waiting for start dates. Everything has been approved, both the bank and builder have everything sorted, and we have the land cleared. This feels like the longest ever…

Yes adrianaa we are in stage 5. Can't believe how expensive it is though. Just seems like there's always these little fees that keep cropping up and I just want…

We haven't started building yet, but I just received a bill in the mail from Western Water for the last quarter of $550. has anyone else had this? Maybe I'm…

We weren't told that, I never thought of asking about it though

Yes adriannaa, I had to pay it before contract signing with Henley.
Have to go up to the block on the weekend to remove quite a bit of rubbish that has…

So it's only taken around 3 months to complete the build? You must be so excited to finally be at this point. Big congrats!!
We have chosen some similar colours so…

Our land was already titled when we settled, and we had our tender appointment after we settled so not sure if it can be done earlier.
I read your thread…

I just paid mine then as the builder wants the receipt before contract signing. I found it interesting that one estate in Diggers Rest doesn't have to pay the levy....…

Awesome to see more people popping up
Congrats to Shellzmac and mandalepanda to moving in. Very jealous.
At tender I was shown our soil report and a…
