We went with basalt

Our house is all complete, was finished in April and we've been in for about 2 months now.
We found it was completed withing a very satisfactory time frame.

Ill get some good pics on Monday when we have PCI

Our house is almost finished, we have the PCI in 4 days!

Nah, just had a really great SS who was very organised and professional. He had all our trades booked ahead of time and they all did a quality job therefore…

Our house took 150 days to build from them turning soil to handover.

Hi Patto22
Everything is going alright albeit slowly. Just awaiting tiles to go into the bathrooms.
Brick layers stuffed up and rendered the whole front of the house however, we like how…

Yeah, the real estate agents were very slow to get back to us with Ascot rise and that annoyed us also. They couldn't tell us if the development would have…

Lomandra, took a look at Ascot rise but didn't like it as much.

I'm currently building in Romsey with Porter Davis. Our house is about 4-5 weeks from completion (fingers crossed)

We couldn't go with the Kitchen extension as we had already spent our budget on electrical and kitchen culture upgrades (the polar white gloss cupboard finish alone was over $1500).…

Our kitchen and bathroom cabinetry went in today, am very happy with how it currently looks.

Ice Volcano, the girl at WOS selected it for us

Render has gone on (not painted yet).
Really glad we spent the extra $1900 on the Riva facade as it adds a bit more definition to the front of the house…

There wasn't really any dark bricks in category 1, maybe a dark brown was all there was.

Here is an image of our facade as of about a week ago, its a Riva and this is before render.

Yes I have sent you an email

Hi, My wife and I are currently building a Bermuda 23, we have gone with the Riva facade while neighbours across the road have gone with the standard Maya facade.…

I got in touch with my local council, turns out PD has made a mistake on one of the site and engineering drawings which was causing problems for a building…

Has anyone here been required to go to local council and get their own planning permits?
My Building coordinator contacted me and requested that I get the approval.

I sent you a PM

Hi inexp
We bought or land back in Feb/March and were told it would initially title in June however it has now been pushed back to late July/early August. We are…

Hey guys, good luck with your builds in Romsey, we bought land in stage 3 of Lomandra and are building with Porter Davis, once titling is complete.
We looked at both…

I was in World of styles a few days ago and was told the reason they switched to silestone was because the Essastone was having too many faults post handover…

Just posting to see how everyone is going with their builds?

No at the bottom are the upgrades we've chosen however the site costs are being quoted as an additional $22K, we've opted not to go with a fixed price contract.

I just got quoted
Simmonds $17.5K
Metricon $18-20K
PD $22K

Building a Bermuda 23 in Metro North
PD want to lock us into a fixed price contract for site costs and have set the at $22,000 however that seems quite excessive.
