Thanks Gramy. If I find out before I hear from you I'll let you know too.

Well we got our keys on Friday afternoon!
Everything is pretty good except that the whole house is filthy - all the dust from our yard and the surrounding building sites…

Hi Wiz,
Did you have an alarm installed? If you did do you know how you set it up? The user manual is useless and talks like you already have…

Haha not quite. We want the driveway and landscaping done and our fence up (we have a dog) before we move in. We also have to install light…

Keys on Friday. Woo!

Hi all,
Have our final-final inspection this afternoon. Cleaner has been through now and all that is left is to fix the few paint bits that need it and hang the…

Yeah sorry I did mean floor tiling. No no pics sorry, I was caught up in everything else lol he kept trying to rush us but I took my time

Had our inspection yesterday. All went really well - everything was done except for the kitchen splashback but the tiler was there doing it when we were there so…

About 3-4 weeks I reckon, that's what it has been for us and we've had a similar build time to you - site scrape on 1st October and we just…

Hi Smart5,
Frontage is 18m and brick is Urban Latte.
Cheers.

Thanks Pennykate. Just realised these aren't the final plans because we moved the broom cupboard to the wall that the external door is on. So now it's a double…

Hi,
Our floor tiles are called Boualm from tile direct at Beresfield

Correct. Bricks are standard, garage door was an upgrade.

Hey Vijay, bricks are Austral Urban One Latte and morocca is Taubman's Coffee Cake

Yeah we spent about $80k over. You could certainly spend less though if you went all standard fittings and finishes and didn't change the plans at all. If…

Nah they just did it like that. It's good though - I like things to be hidden!

Thanks! Our bricks are Austral Urban One Latte and our garage door is chesnut I think. It was an upgrade, it cost about $1130 I think from memory.

Hi beknjohn,
They are under the laundry tub. There's a removable little panel on the side of the where you feed the hoses from the washing machine in to connect…

Hi all,
Been a little while since I posted any pics so thought I'd do a bulk share. Sorry if they are a bit out of order.
We are pretty much…

Hey Gramy,
We have a gunmetal coloured roof and are going for a gunmetal driveway. Our bricks and moroka are similar to yours I think and our garage is one…

Thanks First Home - you're a champion. That sounds very logical.

Thanks Bek.
I asked our supervisor and he seemed clueless. And the bank says it's different for every builder.
Can't get a straight answer out of anyone - so frustrating!

Anyone able to help out with this one? Wiz maybe?

Hi all,
Can anyone tell me if Beechwood organises the final occupation certificate before handover? Or is that something I need to do after hand over and before we move in?
We…

Spoke to BW today and our final inspection is booked in for the 6th of March. Woohoo!!

Yeah we paid about $2000 I think to get termite treated frames. We just snuck in before the last price rise back in July 2013 or there abouts so it…

We are building in the Hunter valley and site supervisor is Col. Yeah I thought we'd had a few stuff ups but after reading some stories on here I feel…

Saw the SS yesterday afternoon and was able to look through the house. All in all I'm pretty happy with the painters effort. Naturally there's a few spots…
