Looking great Monalisa. It won't be long and you will be really getting a feel for place. Our Glendale slab was poured in early march and now we are up…

Hi Sheilzy, the house is looking fantastic. Did you have to pay penalty rates to make extra electrical changes on site from what was on the plans?

We did a lot of research into Hebel construction and everything we were told and found is the opposite. The acoustic properties are meant to be better than brick veneer…

We are also building the Ambassador 41 in West Pennant Hills. We have made quite a few changes like flipping part of the house, adding an extra 2m width to…

Wisdom tender deposit was $1000 as was Clarendon. We have also gone with Kurmond. All of the designs we have chosen for tender are very similar but it is the…
