Also a quick question from me! How long from tiling commencing to handover??
I've waited enough over Christmas -'I just want in already! Lol

Austral do have some smooth bricks in the standard range - our estate required a smooth face brick - we picked the urban one range

We have a slab!! Woohoo! After such a slow start (we've been in construction for 8 weeks now) they finally poured the slab today.
Question for anyone who is building the…

This waiting is killing me!!! Our site was benched 2 weeks ago and nothing since! Is this normal??

Love your tiles! Care to share the names?

And on day 14 we got benched!! Was very surprised! Now how long till slab?

The Hermitage

Finally got our ACC today! It's only taken 6 weeks from contract signing. Let the 28 days begin!.
Everyone's houses are looking so good! Jazzy - can't believe how…

awesome!!

How long did everyone's bank take to get the commencement letter?

Is it 28 calendar or business days?

Contracts signed! It's a good day!!

Congrats Jazzy!! Hopefully it will be my turn in about a month!!

We did our colours last week and it was more than $1000 to upgrade to handle - less (shark nose) cupboards. You first have to upgrade to polyurethane cupboards…

Congrats Bek!! That must have been stressful!! Enjoy your new house!
We did our colour selections today - was fun! (Did I say that? Lol). Didn't do too many upgrades as…

Thanks pennykate - we've done the same thing - the bank already has our tender ( we jumped the gun a bit!) oh well we will see what happens!

Hi, looks like we are going in for colours this week. Are any upgrades added to your final account? Not sure the bank is going to come to the party…

Well done Jazzy - did you end up upgrading much?
Jamisontown is in Penrith

We have just received approval from our developer so now onto CDC! fingers crossed we have approval in the coming weeks.
Do you think it would be a tad optimistic…

Howdy Neighbour!
We are also building in The Hermitage but a Verdehlo 5 Twist with grand terrazza.

Bek - it looks awesome!! I love the black benchtop! (even though I am going with White!)
Are your cupboard doors standard? Did you upgrade much in the kitchen?

Wheres the 'like' button!! Congrats!

Stacey - how much was the Trilock?

Looking awesome!! I love that I can see through your pics what my house is going to look like!

Hi Everyone
Our land is settled!yay! we now own a piece of dirt (well a puddle of mud with the recent rain!)
So we have received our 2nd drawn plans and…

Jazzy the inclusions on the website for the genesis says double power http://www.beechwoodhomes.com.au/inclusions.aspx?id=8

It looks like it. It was originally at the side of the house and it looks as though they are charging us about $840 for 20m of pvc piping!…

Any soil removal/import is now a non-provisional item and is covered in the tender. So no nasty surprises when it comes to that! (unless its classified as excess and…

Thats gross. I would assume that they would stop once the house is finished. at the moment they are probably looking at it as "someone elses mess to…

Beknjohn - no, havent signed contracts yet. waiting for 2nd set of plans to be drawn then we can submit for landscape plan and then to the estate for…
