Thanks for the information omer. I just signed up for the free trial. Another plus point is that they will match any competitors plans. So basically, before the trial…

Does anyone have a saved copy of the price list from the last release?

2014Bungarribee, we are not experts here so we can all only speak from experience. And as Whytee mentioned, it is true that other builders that we have dealt with have…

Bank cheque will be fine bumblebees. That's what we used.

There is always a chance it can take longer. There are many variables in the building process.
We had some delays at council, one was due to the fact that…

Not packing yet mate, lock-up is just when the externals are finished. We will still have all the internals to go, house probably won't be ready until April (according to…

Hi Transformation,
Construction progress has slowed down for us over the last few days. Waiting on lower roof tiles to be completed. Our SS said we may be at lock-up before…

It gets emailed to you. Address is probably for billing purposes.

I can also help out with the technical side of things.
Update from me: Our bricking and tiles (upper) are complete. Solar panels went in today. Waiting for upper bricks…

Price rises every 3-4 months is standard.

About 5 weeks if there are no issues.

We didn't really have any issues with it. They even sent sent a valuer to our lot and had it valued.
Originally we went to our solicitor with the conditional…

We received unconditional approval for land loan before exchange. Our solicitor would not let us exchange without it. Our land was unregistered.

Keep in mind the proposed registration date is almost always delayed by a few months.

The contract should explicitly state when the clock starts ticking on your construction period (ie. after admin and you have provided proof of finance). If the delays are after the…

@heathcote35 Looks like they have bent our front porch frame when putting the scaffolding in! I guess it will just have to be fixed when scaffolding comes down. Although, the…

Yeah we were provided with a draft early on. And then our contract a few days before the contract appointment.
As BH said, it's illegal for them to expect you…

I'm pretty happy with the progress. I was hoping it would be as fast as yours though!

It's interesting that they are doing this differently. I guess for mine they will just have to scaffold around the porch framework? I'll keep an eye out.

Looking good. Just realised you are getting the same facade as us - Balmain facade - except we may render our front section after the build, depending on how it…

Yup bricks started yesterday - as soon as the weather cleared. Check out the blog for pics

since the contract hasn't been signed yet you are not subject to the terms of the contract. It will depend on what your tender says.
Check the house plans you…

We tried to go with Mocha, unfortunately our estate design guidelines do not allow textured bricks. So we ended up going with gravel, which is pretty much the same colour…

Thanks Granadz! We were supposed to start brickwork today (they have been delivered). But I doubt anything will happen until the weather clears up

The prices rise regardless of the promotions. Every 3-4 months the base prices jumps by ~3k. According to EBH it's because the cost of the building materials increases.

Lot prices are publicly advertised. Builders identify themselves on the construction site with banners. None of that is private information.
I guess the timing is probably an issue. Since the information…

If your builder does not know about this then it is a very good indication that you should not be signing that contract or paying the deposit.

Thanks for that jmn141, we'll have to get the ball rolling early to account for incompetence!
How's the speed? Hit up speedtest.net and please share

That was my initial concern as well. We have a similar setup (one room with stacker, sliding and windows), I'm thinking as long as the colours are consistent between your…

We are planning on getting rollers for all our windows. And vertical for sliding doors - as you say it provides more flexibility.
