Hi Lot212,
Our landscaper was Chris Shevlin from 'Gnangara Landscape Construction', 0407 543 457. We found him to be fantastic, and only have good things to say about him. He had…

Welcome Tim & Lauren, good luck with your build. I'm interested to see you're building with Carlisle, because when we approached them late 2009 to build for us they said…

Well we've had a great day!!!! 306 days after our slab was laid (June 19), we finally got our keys today!!!! Super exciting, can't believe it's finally happened. We won't…

Housemouse, I did a drive by around lunch time and I don't think I saw any bricks?!
Hope they arrive soon!

We are due to have handover of our house in the next couple of weeks and are just wondering if it's worth having an indepedent inspection done? We have previously…

Hi all,
dgm, you're place is looking great! I saw your comments about your dogs on your blog. What sort of dogs do you have? We've got 2 cavaliers. It seems…

Here is our blue splashback (sea view)...
I love it! It's sparkly and can look quite different depending on the light.

We've bought a 3-zone induction from DeDietrich, hopefully it'll be installed in about a month (when our house is finished)! It has one big zone - 28cm, a medium -…

Eskay, you've got a fence...congrats! Hope things can get underway on Monday, it's very exciting. As far as house size goes, at least you've got kids, so people think it's…

Personally I'm a slide-out girl...but I also think it depends on the size of the kitchen. I've seen some canopies in small kitchens with only 1 cupboard on either side…

Sorry guys, all fixed now I hope...
Maddie

Hi Rarah 11,
We have a blue splashback...it's not royal blue, but I love it. It's got a sparkle in it, and changes from deeper to lighter blue depending on the…

Not sure if I've done this right?!?!?
But hopefully here are 2 pictures of our kitchen with a blue splashback...

Hi cyberfunk,
We are currently building with Henley, and were told by our administrator that "once the electrical rough in is complete please arrange for your data electrician to go through…

Hi Tonka,
We have polar white overhead cupboards, osprey (white) caesarstone bench and licorice linea (dark brown) underbench cupboards with a blue splashback. The name of the colour is Seaview, from…

We went to the block today to check if we could find the pegs. Builder said they had to be clear when they went to do their site inspection.…

Woo hoo!!!!!! We've had our bricks completed and we've been plastered!!! Wow, it happens so quickly, the plasterers only started yesterday, and are pretty much finished. Now, if only the…

Howdy,
Catlover, nice to see you on here, glad you were able to find it. It's a great forum, especially as we get to know people a bit! Hope everything progresses…

Wow...so much has happened in the estate today. Dgm...you've got a slab!! How exciting. They've also laid the slab on lot 143 which has been waiting for months (like dgm).…

Hi Eskay,
We were also very surprised to get a letter about your increased site coverage as well!! You are 21 Norris Cct aren't you? We're 41, not sure what it…

Hi Karmaz,
Great to hear and see that you've started...very exciting. Hopefully you are able to have your slab laid in the not too distant future. As far as independent inspectors…

We totally agree that the high-density housing when you first drive into the estate looks pretty shocking. It's a bit like a jigsaw puzzle where they seemed to have tried…

So sorry to hear about everyone in stage 3!! You must all be devastated!! I wonder if this is going to push back all of the other stages as well.
A…

Hi xdc351,
As far as we remember our Asset Protection Permit fee was included in the cost of house, although not totally sure.
Who are you building with?
Maddie

Hi boonnem,
They told us the same thing about the skirting boards...such a pain in the ***!! We are also hoping to ask the SS to just tack in the skirting…

Congrats Boonnem...that's fantastic!! Hopefully everything progresses smoothly from here, and that, unlike some others, you're able to have your slab laid soon.
As for us, we had our first batch…

Hi everyone,
Wow, our house is finally looking like a house...so excited to have the frame completed this week!! Can't wait for some bricks to start going up.
NBJL, congrats your place…

Hi dgm,
We have just decided to invest in an indepedent inspector, but haven't had the first inspection done yet. After looking at many websites and searching on this forum we…

Hi everyone,
Suz, it think we did set the ground work for Henley with the developers, it took a while to go through, but hopefully they know what to do now!…

Hi guys,
We're also going to need the fences up before we move in (2 Cavalier King Charles Spaniels - one that looks a bit like Eskay40's profile picture!). So…
