Here is our facade... bricks aren't exactly right but gives a reasonable indication...

Hey TrickyRicky,
It is certainly a fun time... although we haven't received a letter like you stated, we were hoping for land registration within the next month but looks like its…

Yeah we have the same.. 1.5k per fortnight and we haven’t hit land register so it’s going to add up to a fair bit for us depending on timeframe it…

Yeah ok that sounds like a great idea… sick of looking at Pinterest hahaha

MH only had 1 appt before Xmas… I’d be keen to visit thynk just for a browse…
Yeah land isn’t registered yet so we are trying to get most stuff done…

Good to know… we have external selections at the beginning of Feb. Land is still kicking along with the road still being dug out and flattened.

Yeah thats a pretty good outline of the process, we just received our 'final tender' and concept plan and have noticed a few items missing... wonder if that means I…

Hi aplasticow
Look I’m definitely not as far along as you are… we are still awaiting civil works to complete before land registration.
I do know the recent lockdown slowed things down…

We’ve delayed the concept plan meeting due to lockdowns. We aren’t in a rush as land registration isn’t planned until July. Still just researching and conceptualising…
I’ve made a draft…

Oh I’ll do the skylights now as it will probably need a truss or two to be customised and be easier to get that done now then after handover… I’ll…

3rd garage was just under ~14k
raked ceiling was a funny one... they suggested I go 3m to 2.5 to achieve the result but was getting too expensive as I would…

our insta build....
@build_riviera1_montgomeryhomes

Yeah look they put it in the tender but I'm not sure if I want open risers on my lower floor as well, I really only want mid to upper.…

Yeah I’ll find some time to go for a drive then see if I can see what others have built we are in east Maitland and there’s a could of…

Yeah at the tender meeting it’s been pretty much “yeah we can accomodate that” just comes down to how much we want to cough up lol
We’re just under 590…

Nice pick!
Oh yeah Ive considered to do after handover, just trying to see if I can get it done during frame up... less for me to do later haha

Old hot water tank inside the roof of a house?
I lived in a house in the Blue Mountains NSW from I think the 1940's which had something similar..

Hey Leona33,
I'm thinking this is the route I will have to follow. I'm hoping the insulation will be reasonable enough...
I'll see if they can put it between the lower and…

Hey scowo,
Yeah nice... I'm trying to get them to do a proper soundproof room in room scenario which they aren't keen on. Also the bulkhead I'm trying to get in…

Hey TrickyRicky
We are interested in the Riviera 1 303 to build in Maitland NSW.
We are going to have our tender meeting in a few weeks.

Hi all,
Long time lurker finally starting the building journey.
We have a decent size parcel of land but it also comes with about 3-4 m rise from the road to back…
