Thanks guys for confirming. I have several issues with them and I strongly suggest that anyone who's currently building should hire an indepedent inspector at least during frame stage and…

Isn't it great finally seeing it come to life! The best feeling is when you can walk through it and see the layout in it's full form. So happy for…

Heya. Did anyone building in Sydney deal with Costa Electricals and avail their Actron air con? If so, how is it?

Thanks Amanda for sharing. I'm guessing my chosen internal wall colour is too dark for the entire house. Especially the fact that the doors will be the same colours too.…

Eeeek I overlooked something. Now I just realised my internal doors and cornices are all Stonebridge. I'm really concerned as they will look too dark altogether.

Hi guys. Just a quick question on colour selection. Did you pick a different colour for your internal doors, skirtings, cornices and architraves? I'm a bit concerned because my internall…

Finally seeing action on my block! Slab date will be March 16. I'm so excited! I've been waiting to see something happening on my land since it registered last…

Hi!! So after waiting for our commencement letter from the bank... took us 1 month to settle the loan, we finally have a construction starting date! January 30 next year…

My bank didn't accept anything until we finished signing the building contract and that's when St George started the property valuation. No wonder mine is taking forever. It's been a…

Lileegirl, how are going with your paperwork? My bank is taking forever to issue the commencement letter. So it's sad I'm gonna miss out on the $5k FHOG as it…

Thanks SMK. how long did it take for you to receive your commencement letter from the bank from the time you signed the contract with the builder?
You guys will probably…

lilee, looks like we are on the same page! Just did our colour selections yesterday. It was actually a very long and tiring day! We ended up spending around $2k…

I visited the area on the weekend and I'm so surprised! Most of the houses are halfway through already and my land is still vacant ahaahaha!

Hi fellow BH members, just wanting to ask what is involved in the first colour consultation appointment? It goes for 3 hours?! That's so long!

Hi Pat & Laura. Welcome to the Homeone Forum! I'm building in the Waratah release at Gregory Hills too so we will be future neighbours! Like

That's great news Heidi! Did you go over your 6 month tender period? I'm still waiting on my variations. It's taking forever!
Can I ask which bank you are going with?

Oh I don't think we have acoustic requirements. Does it say that in the contract? I had bushfire requirement though.
My plans are still being drawn with the variations we requested.…

Hi guys, sorry I'm not very familiar with jargons. What's an acoustic?

SMK - who are you building with? I'm still waiting for my final variations. My builder said I will have to mow the grass prior to them starting construction.. Did…
