Call fairmont ... see if they need any soil at seaford . then you only need to transport it instead of paying to dump it.
Ours was 400 tonne and cost…

Hi Jon & Ally,
We had a prelim soil report from buying the block, but im not sure of the timeframe for the full soil report & footings to come back.…

Hi Jon & Ally!
Ill keep an eye out for you, we're down at Lot 27, but we tend to pop down every other day or so.
What plan are you going…

How is everyone going?
Havent heard anything for a little while...

That is a very attractive slab snowie. although im biased to believe mine will be very easy on the eye also. Not easy on the eye... the 400 tonne of…

Just had a phone call today! They're digging tomorrow! (So much for 3-5 weeks, 7 days is more like it)
I have been quoted $1,200 for soil removal but depending on…

Should we go vigilante on the trees then?
They could easily run afoul of a contractors ute or pallet of bricks...

We have one of those trees outside ours... Hopefully it wont impact as much as they say.
Weve been quoted 3-5 weeks till they start our build! But they hinted closer…

That has to be incorrect! Id get a private contractor to re-assess. Thats insane. Next door at Lot 5 was only $34K for footings...
I could understand $10K over if you…

Snowie the house behind you is for sale, so theyre obviously ditching some stuff. Poor effort, but at least you wont have those people for neighbours much longer.

Hi Snowie,
My understanding of retaining walls is that even if its on the fence line, you are only liable if you are retaining dirt. So if your neighbor hasn't cut…

Ive just had the most horrible experience. I called the council and they told us they had lot 57 as our block. Called the conveyancers and asked them for my…

Has anyone received their rates notice from the council. I have ours but the address is wrong - it says 20 chardonnay, but we're lot 27 and will probably end…

Whelp, i'm having a block party on the 19th, so if its not settled that's their problem... You're welcome to pop over onto our patch if you want. There will…

We finally got our transfer docs last night. So looks like its moving along nicely now.
Had a wander past the other day and noticed more fencing down by our…

We're 27 on the other side of the hill.
Did yours require any cut/fill? or was it just the reactive soil?

We haven't even seen transfer documents yet so its at least 14 days away.. Id like it to stretch out till June (simply because we cant get the build loan…

Hi,
My boyfriend and i have also bought a block in Nottage Rise.
Were Stage 3 on Chardonnay Blvd, so we haven't settled yet.
We are looking at building the AV Jennings…

Hi! Anyone building in Nottage Rise Reynella?
