Hello! Myself and my husband are building the Caesar with Henley in VIC. We haven't signed anything yet but have decided that's the house we want. I can see that…

Hi Taylor, I have just realised how slack I got after moving in! I will definitely add a few photos soon. Here is one I took of our kitchen (which…

Hi trambay!
Yes we are in stage 4b near the park. It's a lovely estate to live in.
Our floors are Tasmanian oak laminate. Who are you building with? It's very…

I think that double storey houses should not be allowed to cast any shadow at any time of the year on their neighbours solar panels. It is completely unfair to…

That's just crazy, those laws make all the sense in the world to me. I can't believe they were reversed! Today's world is all about renewable energy and about lifestyle…

If you don't mind then I think this would be beneficial for the thread. It may ease the minds of some of the people that find this thread looking for…

I completely agree. I think that estates should have allocated areas designated for single or double storey houses. The problem is that the government push for us to be more…

The double that was going to be built would have fit the block width and our house is only 3 metres from the fence line. Their garage would have been…

And if my double storey house had to be compromised so much to accommodate my neighbours privacy then I would be wondering whether it was the right block for me.

I wouldn't build a double next to a single. If there are enough doubles nowadays, as you say, then I would find a block next to a double storey house.…

Nice uncompassionate view there Stewie!
I'll send you the letter raj_paras. The double on our south facing side doesn't affect the sunlight hitting our house at all, so its not an…

That's exactly right! I'm so sorry that you had to sell your home and I understand why. We have considered selling much sooner than we had hoped if we end…

Unfortunately the council were absolutely useless. I wrote them a long letter on why it would affect us and asking go advice on what could be done. I got one…

Thank you all for your feedback. I have become a little less irrational after a nights sleep! It was just horrible news and my instant feeling was to be upset…

It's just so unfair that they can stop us from being able to have solar power and they can change the look and feel of the inside of our house.…

Thank you. I've just written a letter and will send it off tomorrow.

Hi, I realise many years have passed now but hoping that you will still get a notification that I've written on here I thought I'd try!
We are currently in the…

Splashback update - it turns out they did change it and it is still the wrong colour. They are just saying that its the way the light falls on it…

I haven't written on here for a while as we were out of the country for 10 days (someone was nice enough to get married in a hot and beautiful…

PCI is officially booked for 2nd July!!!!!!!!

As we are nearly at PCI (practical completion inspection) I wondered if anyone had any tips?
I have seen some amazing check lists on…

Carpet is in, shelving and door handles are done mirrors, showscreens in and our driveway is done!!! It really feels pretty much finished now. Our splash back goes in tomorrow…

Hi Luckylux, we are building in Jupiter Crescent with Simonds and the only issue we've had is that our bath went missing, but they can't be sure it was specifically…

Here is our beautiful flooring that went down on Friday! It's a bit darker than I thought the sample was but its still beautiful and we're pleased.

And here is…

Thanks so much Wiz! It's reassuring to hear that others like our choices. Really can't wait to see the final pieces come together!

That's a great price! Thanks for letting me know. All th best, your house is beautiful

I meant to ask also - does the window frosting block out all or some of the light? Or not really? And where did you get it from? Did you…

Oh wow! What a beautiful home you have now. So pleased for you. How was the move in? Do you love it now you're in?

We had our first official walk-through today and probably our last before PCI... because he said we are only 3-4 weeks away!!! I'm giddy with excitement!
Several things have happened…

Hi Taylor, how is your new home? Have you managed to unpack everything yet? You must be walking around with a preeminent smile on your face!
I am so impatient! I…
