Gardener's Ridge, North Kellyville

Hi Willy313, future Willandra neighbour!
We went via council and were only delayed by the Christmas blockout period of 2 weeks either side of 25/12. That aside, it only took…

Well done all on progressing! We received our draft end panel today so are madly reviewing to ensure we can get construction plans underway.

We spent about $9500 on electrical and included WH builders LED as it would be just as much to do LED post build and a lot more hassle to find…

Great to hear everyone is finally progressing. Found out earlier today that we should be through council by first week of Feb and ready for draft end panel. Few…

Yes we're finding the process much longer than we'd first anticipated but making progress now. Our plans were submitted to council this week so I'm hoping that we'll be…

Strong words kidsbuggingme - you sound mighty peeved off but to protect yourself, you may want to revise or review some of the wording in your post.

We had our appointments with Knebel and were quite impressed. Waiting for plans to come back now.

We're officially landowners after settling today - a few days late and a bit of interest due to NAB being late but all done and dusted. Now waiting for…

We are settling this coming Friday (stage 3) so I'd imagine they'd be coming down after this week.

We signed our contract on Friday as well Extreme. Waiting to hear about our appointments now as well. Now the daunting part of having to lock stuff in

Looks like you had a great turnaround time from CDC application to start date Graciegirl. Any secret tips?

Question for everyone in the ridge - has anyone had a borehole report come back with a soil classification requiring a H1 slab? I was under the impression from…

Received our contract today as well - same day for notification of our land like Lunar! Loan docs from the bank arrived in the mail as well - the…

Most of the bore holes for stage 1 of GR have revealed salinity levels that only require M class slab. Our builder is saying H but I am budgeting…

Anyone else building in North Kellyville?

There is more opening up and if you drive up Barry Rd, you will see a number of new estates opening up. There are also some unlisted ones which…

Thanks ugly99 - good reminder that I should check the Impression 40 at Kellyville to see what a skylight might look like in that space!

10 years10 yearsscoturnerscoturner posted:
Building with Wisdom Homes

Yes, we are close to doing that. I think it's a calculated risk you need to take if you want to start on time. They were pretty good…

We're building an Impression 33 and wondering whether anyone else building Impression has looked at skylight options for the void above the foyer/stairwell to bring some natural light into what…

Any idea what's happened to the Elderton double storey that was started quite early on? Work seems to have stalled from what I can see. I like the…

Gardener's Ridge is on track for registration in Sept and settlement in October. I'd be really surprised if Blue Horizon was ready before Xmas based on what you can…

We've added 1700mm in width to our garage for a cost of $8062 and a roller door in the rear was an additional $850.

We're definitely going to be changing our floors to timber of some kind in lieu of tiles. I don't have an exact price for the upgrade (depends on what style…

Building with Wisdom Homes

Thanks for the info newhouser. Did you find the extra price exorbitant and were you still limited to blanco or could you choose your own from a different manufacturer?

10 years10 yearsscoturnerscoturner posted:

Still awaiting our first set of plans - hopefully due in the next week or thereabouts. What types of corrections and modifications have you had to send back Lunar?

Anyone contemplated or gone through the process of replacing the Blanco appliances? We'd prefer to have an inbuilt oven as opposed to the freestanding version. Not at appointment…
