Hi Glendale
Our prewire for future alarm 1 pad point and 4 sensors was $460 and prewire for future video-com cat5 cable with 2 internal points was $335. Price from Jul…

Thanks Monalisa - and me yours! Our tile appointment is booked in for 9 April.

Just catching up on your thread - wow wow wow, looking great. Your bricks are beautiful!

Thanks Lincoln29. I've been following your build and have to say it's looking fabulous! Will get some pics up over the weekend.

Interesting question MrsJM.
I have to say this is my one and only experience with the building industry so I have nothing to compare it to. I will give you some…

I'm late getting my blog and thread going - not very technically savvy! But thought it best to start one a) to share my experience with others as I have…

Yes we are finally in construction as of last week I will start a blog/thread ..... maybe this weekend:)
So I'm wondering how often people…

It certainly does look great Sheilzy. I really like all the windows and stackers on the front facade. Lovely dark bricks too. Did you really only start just over 2…

It really does look incredibly modern and stylish Shambini - great work with your selections!

Congrats Sheilzy. Slab looks great. What a great start to 2015 you have!

Wow those bricks look beautiful. A real feature. Must feel good to see your selections looking great "in the flesh".

Good to see you can fit the garbage bins down the side of the house ha ha. Pegs = progress!

Thanks for the sympathy. I guess the silver lining is that had we just accepted council we would have been up for min $80k in easements so lets just say…

I'm glad it all worked out for you in the end.
After 20 weeks with Council we finally got approval - hooray! The delay with Council pushed us past our contract…

Hi Sheilzy
Does this mean that you met your contract deadline?

Maybe just get the free standing bath included in the promo as they won't give you credit for it anyway. Then after handovet take it out and put in the…

Excellent! Congrats on the exciting news. I'm sooooooo jealous!

Sheilzy your cleared block looks great. Ready to start fresh. Sounds like you will be starting very soon. Good luck with ticking the last few boxes with Council.

I miss your thread for a couple of weeks and now can't believe how much had been achieved! The block looks great and sounds like you have a great team.…

Wow congratulations! So exciting that after all that waiting for council it's go go go!

Woo hoo - Congrats!

Awesome Shambini - never thought I'd be so excited by an excavator and demolition - it's all happening now for you!

Hi Najam
I was just reading your blog and see that you are selling your existing home rather than knocking it down. I'm curious as to how you went about this…

Hi Najam
We are building with M in Syd 40 squares, same beds and bath as you but excl alfresco. Our costs are:
Base $340k = $8.5k/sq includes fully fitted out everything…

Your blog post is a great read Shambini, looks like you have everything covered - especially with 4 TV points .
My brother is…

I will keep an eye out for the credits. I'm guessing you are talking about kitchen changes such as deleting standard cupboards and replacing them with drawers.
When I changed…

Hi Shambini
I've been following your posts and blog for a while now and I'm really pleased to hear that things are moving forward for you, albeit slower than you would…

That sounds lovely, especially the fancy metalix bricks. You will have some nice contrast in there.
I've just been painting some spare cladding I had at home to finalise cladding colour…
