Hi cslfish,
You can't hire out the bbq area. Actually I think the guidelines state you can't be in more than a group of 8 people. Regardless, I've seen people hold…

Hey Cackling, if you installed multiple data points throughout your house you will need a gigabit switch to split the one connection coming from your opticomm box to each port…

Thanks for the responses everyone. I'm not using a router at all as I tested the connection from the Opticomm box straight to my laptop. I called iiNet who advised…

I have a feeling it's a problem with my hardware. I've been told by iiNet that my speeds should be at least 70Mpbs. I'll be troubleshooting the problem with them…

Hi Mark, I'm with iiNet. Check this page http://www.opticomm.net.au/index.php/co ... l-partners.

Hi Everyone,
I'm curious, what kind of speeds are you getting on the Opticomm fibre network? If you have a moment could you please go to

Hey Cackling, nope no land line required. All you need do is call Opticomm once your builder has made the connection available to be connected and they will make you…

Hi Cackling,
Generally, the property on the higher ground gets the posts because retaining beams can be placed on that side. On a flat and even surface, it's really your choice.…

Hey Cackling, no worries I'll send you a PM.

Hi Cackling, sorry I couldn't reply earlier. From our experience we found that there were a lot more options to choose from when we sat down with Sandra at our…

Hey Cackling, our build has been relatively pain free. I'm surprised how quick it's gone up but since the lock up it has slowed down a bit. We have had…

Hey Cackling, we chose the Estate facade similar to the one at the Oran display home, what about yourself? We chose our tile selections late (actually just on the weekend)…

Welcome Cackling. I'm in the later stages of building the Oran as well, so let me know if you have any questions specific to that design.

Hey Chan Hehe yeah no worries. You have my number yeah?
I'll start getting some quotes and see which is best. Thanks for the tips…

David, i'm going shout you to a beer one of these days, you're like the guru of Parkbridge.

Congrats Selkie! I drive past your place all the time and it looks great.
It's good to see a lot of people are progressing with their build

Hi Tony,
When working out the final price of your tender (320k) you should have some idea of the final costs including upgrades etc. because this is the amount that you…

Excellent David, I should have been more persistent I think hehe. We had our pierings done last week and our tender has an allowance of 55 lm. We had to…

Oh good stuff Jarrod, it'll help keep the dust away from your property while my place goes up. Just let me know how when I need to pay my share.…

Hi Chan,
Haha I figured that was you! Ah no worries we'll have plenty of time for intros By the way your neighbours name is Brad…

Welcome Chanskies.
I hope all goes well with your build! Which stage are you at? I'm on Robey as well and they should be laying our slab sometime this week

Zeus, i'm on a property far west overlooking the western bushland. Our tender has the BAL-29 bushfire requirement at a cost of $7,900.
I did inquire about a bus service leading…

Welcome Zeus! Everyone has pretty much covered your queries so I hope everything goes well for you. I think we have a few things in common mate because I'm moving…

Welcome JSandri, I'm glad to hear your build went up so quickly!
David, Firststyle started the building process on Tuesday so they tell me the slab should be laid down within…

We're on Lot 40726. Someone has actually left rubble and discarded materials on our plot so I hope cleaning that up is covered in our site costs. I drive down…

David, at the end of the day we get a new house, all the waiting will be worth it i'm sure. New house and baby... I see you have a…

Hey David, from memory mine was approved fairly quickly, definitely less than 2 weeks. I can't expect you'll have to wait much longer. It's the council approval where the real…

Oh that's good to know, I didn't know any of that either so thanks for the info David
I'm wondering Selkie, how long did it take…

Oh good stuff David. I have good news too! Our plans just got approved by the council and it took exactly 6 weeks. You should expect the same
