Those are both Facebook pages @ Victoria_gill.
We used Bob's Fencing and are very happy with his work, he does a lot of work for Edgewater Homes. I can PM you…

Hopefully it's smooth sailing from now on @Extreme.
We started to move in over the weekend and are spending our first night in the house tonight. It's so quiet all around!

hahaha so true @JordanSpringsNovice

Thanks @ JordanSpringsNovice.
We picked up a fair amount of cosmetic problems, a lot of it revolved around scrappy paint jobs and some chips/dents to cornices and just about all of…

So excited! We are getting keys next Friday, can't wait to move in!

Totally agree.
We will be doing another look through their display home as well for comparison before we do our walk through. We were told that the display homes are 'what…

Thanks @JordanSpringsNovice.
We have already mentioned a few things along the way so hopefully they have started attending to them this week but I won't hold my breath!

Our PCI is booked for next Wednesday afternoon, hopefully there won't be a long list of items that require attention before we accept handover.

@JordanSpringsNovice ... thanks, I think it will be a bit of a frosty meeting with the site supervisor though, we've had a couple of disagreements along the way. We have…

It seems like its been a long road to completion for you @Extreme, thought you would have well and truly moved in by now.
Hoping we do our PC inspection in…

Your solicitor is being very slack then, its a very simple process, they just order it online through one of their search providers. It literally takes them 3 minutes. There…

Hi Victoria
Your solicitor/conveyancer will be able to apply for this on your behalf. The cost varies per council but its usually a couple of hundred dollars and can take up…

Yes, you are eligible for the $5,000 new home builder grant, you can download the application form from the Office of State Revenue website, although your solicitor/conveyancer should be able…

Like us then, you only get the $5,000 new building grant.
Stamp duty on $704,000 is $27,190 versus $13,240 on $394,000, as you can see its quite a substantial difference.

Hi Swiftsport
I'm not sure of your personal situation (whether you qualify for the first home owners grant and stamp duty exemption) however, if you are like us and don't qualify,…

Just wondering if anybody has any recommendations for fencing contractors?
We are about to start arranging quotes and are wondering who everyone has used?

Good luck with your inspection @Newbies

For those that are further along in your build, has anyone started obtaining quotes for fencing??

Good luck with the rest of it!
We had our brickwork finished last week and the electricals were done yesterday. My own estimates put us somewhere towards the end of…

Your build has been flying along! They have been working most Saturday's on your house You must be so excited!
We get random updates but…

Just wondering how much contact each of you have had with your site supervisor throughout the building process? I text and email our appointed supervisor but rarely get a response…

Whereabouts are the new display homes located?

Went and checked out our build yesterday, things are coming along very nicely, looks like the roof tiles should be completed by the end of the week.
A bit concerned about…

Welcome
If you would like the details for Sentinel, let me know

I had to organise that myself. I thought Jade Electrical would be the ones installing it but not the case.
They provided me with the info for Sentinel and I…

Ours ended up coming in at $3,500 (inc GST)
We are having them install 3 ceiling fans, about 23 downlights, 3 pendant lights we have previously purchased, a hardwired door…

@JordanSpringsNovice ... we got a phone call from Jade Electrical about two weeks or so after we were told excavation was commencing. I was surprised to find we don't meet…

Thanks for that little tip @ JnSWILLOWDALE ... will definitely keep that in mind.

Hey Newbies
Ours didn't contact us until I sent an email to him.
I presume we would have the same person so I can give you his number if you like.
