Are your builds all in the north shore area?

All builders will allow plenty of amendments to all their plans as everyone has different needs. The main thing is to ensure you like the base layout then modify things…

Where are you building MickeyDonald? We are building in Ku rin gai. I am in the same situation as you in terms of SS1/SS2 and I suspect we have…

Until you sign the HIA contract, you can pull out at anytime BUT you forfeit all money paid up to that point.

You definitely don't have to sign on the spot and you shouldn't. Take the tender home and review in detail and that's where you can include things like any provisional…

Once you get your Tender, there will be a Tender expiry date, I suspect you will need to accept within that Expiry date and start your build 9 months…

For tender presentation, between 2 to 4 weeks as they need to do surveys and do accurate costing.
For plan acceptance, it will depend on how big and how many changes…

Looking great tand. How long you got to go? Can't imagine much longer than a few weeks.

Slowwwwwwwww, but hopefully they can catchup.

Bummer about the delays kjane. We have also been delayed by weather but I am sure the $4k makes up for it 😊

My approval was via CDC so just needed a plan. I paid around $900 from memory.

That's exciting and great to hear kjane! Incidentally who is your SS? Appears to have a good handle on the defects.
We are progressing BUT way to slow mostly…

You are nearly there kjane! That's great news but what a low life to steal bricks! I like your singage idea We are going well but a…

Definitely get a number of quotes which you are doing and compare inclusions. H&H for our build weren't the cheapest but they weren't the most expensive either but we…

Cost of builds were in par with other project homes. H&H have some good inclusions that suited us, but most important is the design \s. You need to like…

I agree with Seren1ty. We are going to wait till house is build and do the landscape after. A lot changes from now till then specially that we also…

Good recommendation Seren1ty. We are a very long way away from landscaping but when its time will definitely give him a buzz. Send me his detail and I will let…

No. Mine was a smallish one man operation and was the cheapest but took a bloody long time. So I ended up paying for it by the delay.

A few people have and have some good reviews. I wouldn't recommend the one I went with and it wasn't Democorp.

We are also in the selection phase and will keep you all updated.

Nice colour choices Seren1ty. Looking schmick!!!

What I read is major developments that add additional capacity to the area. I doubt your KDR is impacted., beside you probably will go CDC which bypasses council anyway. I…

Really good kjane. Still waiting for the Hydraulics designs to come through but happy with process so far.

Also depends on your local council if a Landscape Plan must be submitted with house plans or landscape plan is just needed to finalise your stormwater tank location so the…

Fantastic... This is getting real now Seren1ty :lol:

Nice mate... that colour looks really warm and cosy!

All our selections are done. I think we have selected the exact same tiles as you for living and dining and bathrooms Seren1ty!!! 😁😁
I might drop by and…

Coming along nicely and good idea on the extra support. we have the supporting timber for the dryer and TVs already.

Thanks mate... Great tips. I have heard there are companies that give you an estimate and buy your fitting and fixtures and rip them out before demolition day. I…

Seren1ty, we are close to our demolition and keen to know what you did with your house before demolition? Did you advertise everything on Gumtree or you let the demolishers…
