Sorry to anyone who started building with them.

Yeah. I noticed this morning on the way to work. They only had one lane open while all the trucks lined your side of the road.
Congratulations.

Sorry Guys. Westminster has appointed a liquidator. Time to contact your insurance company. See link below

I would put the sink under the window so the main bench can be free to use as a breakfast bar.
What's happening with your build?

Hi Fekish,
Your updated plans are looking great. The kitchen looks a lot more open now.
Our smallest room is 3m by 3m and it feels pretty cramped. Especially…

Hi Paul,
Off the top of my head we received the following:

With our retaining walls the certifier asked…

We have been limited to 35% of total area for hard surfaces. Luckily our yard is pretty big. Do you know what Sutherland % is?
Regarding costs. …

I remember looking at Jandson homes at homeworld. They had a few narrow block designs. You may find some other builders will be willing to shrink the floorplan of a…

Hi Skayne,
I just had a look through the variations and the extra expense was closer to 30K than 20K.
The standard tender came with a 3,000L rainwater tank but council…

Hi fekish
Your plans are looking really nice. I love split designs.
You'll love the massive ensuite shower. I assume you will be getting shower heads on each side.
Kitchen. Maybe…

Hi Hammyhamster,
Our house was low level too and we didn't have an easement. We had to contact our neighbours and request connection to their easement. They signed letters refusing access…

I can understand how disappointed you feel. Most councils advise a pre-lodgement meeting should take place to go over plans to pick up problems like this. I guess most…

What a pain. We had to resubmit to council due to council requiring us to change our stormwater plan. This meant a variation for extra works required to meet…

Hi Nina,
Great to hear they will be starting soon after such a long wait. I drive past your place everyday when I go to work and have noticed a…

Hi Lemon_Rose,
Is you block sloping up or down from the street?
In regards to "sloping block" house plan some project home builders have split-level plans.
Our house is sloping down…

We used to snoop around the block once or twice a week until we got a letter from the builder stating they had been informed we had been on site…

Hi Funksoul,
Your block and plans look really nice. I can imagine you are going to get some nice elevated views from your upstairs lounge room and deck.
We used…

How will it cost them more in the long run if they cut and fill?
We should be finishing up by the end of the month. We've heard it will…

Hi Mel,
It's finally the 21st of September. Do you have any news to share?

We bought a knockdown in Gladesville. We liked the inner west but wanted a bigger yard and less aircraft noise than we had before at Drummoyne.
Site costs are not…

Sounds like your top floor will be up nice and high. Any chance of water views then?
I know of a few doing custom designs with Huxley.…

Hi nn_4142,
I know what you are going through. We have a sloping block and many of the project home builders didn't want to touch us. We originally talked…

Foundation and reinforcing included. That also included crushed rock for backfill

Does it look anything like this?

We were quoted by landscaper $140/sqm for laying + we payed extra $140/sqm for our block (ECS bolderstone). Depending on the block you choose you may be looking around $6000…
