Who is building with Allworth Homes

A question about downlight provisions that I neglected to ask Allworth....
What exactly do Allworth "provide"? Do they install a surface socket at each point?

We're thinking about wrapping the deck around too. Luckily we don't have anything in the way!
We're building a Harmony like you but we change…

SancHarmony, if you don't mind me asking, what was the cost for your alfresco decking?
We are planning to do exactly the same though we may deck a further 2m out…

For us it was about 12 weeks from signing to a having the slab down. Times really vary a lot though.

Thanks for the advice SancHarmony.
We're hoping to get our driveway for around the same cost as yours. It's a huge saving on what Allworth charge and (hopefully) without the issues!

A question about driveways.....
We're doing the driveway ourselves after handover. Allworth wanted to charge us $11,000 - no way.
I'm looking to get a few quotes. I assume a few of…

Thanks SancHarmony. I figured it'd be around 6 weeks.
All things going well we will hopefully get the keys at the start of October.

We are now into the 17th week of out 17 week build period and we have just reached lockup stage. I think we have at least another 6 weeks to…

Looking good farm harmony. Hope the weather holds out for a while so the bricks and roof can be finished quickly.
The plasterers started on our house yesterday and should be…

Yes the roof went on before the bricks. The eaves have just been done, which I thought may have been left unit the weather cleared (it's wet here too).

Looks Great SancHarmony!
The brick work has just been completed on our house - just in time before the rain sets in for the week. :D

Great news! :z:
I can't believe though that it took 10 weeks for your slab to be laid! Ours took 6 weeks an I thought…

Woo! I dropped by our lot on the way to work this morning to find the slab being poured!
Great to see some real progress now after a lot of waiting…

Glad to hear they have gotten their act together and done some work! Hopefully they'll start to make up for lost time :)

Seems to be luck of the draw when it comes to building speed. I hope they start to get their act together soon.
I think we've drawn the sloths too. Our…

Our piers were done on Monday. We only needed 29 lm since the rock is fairly shallow in our lot. Should get a nice credit back from Allworth

8 years8 yearsX-rayX-ray posted:

Finally some action on our lot! The site cut and filled yesterday. Now we're waiting for the call to head out and take measurements while the piering is done.

8 years8 yearsX-rayX-ray posted:

Awesome! Hopefully it won't be too long before the diggers move in to start work on your home :D

Frustrating isn't it!?
Our file is apparently with the construction department but we haven't heard a peep from them yet. I've asked their contact details so I can do some prodding…

We're building a single storey. A lot would depend on who is looking after your file. For us everything seems to be proceeding at a snail's pace. It's a little…

Yeah is unbelievable how much the price has gone up. Needless to say it'll put a huge hole in the budget.
