We’re building with M in Sydney and the experience has been incredibly frustrating. Our build started Sep-17 and the house hasn’t been handed over yet- that’s more than 1 year.…

Anyone building with Metricon in South-West Sydney?

Any idea if there is a set timeframe from PCI to handover? How long does it take to get Interim Occupation Certificate?

Construction started 11.09.17, still no handover. Construction was at full speed until March that's when Fixing invoice was issued, since that point very slow. PCI completed last week finally.

Hi all,
Our construction period of 45 weeks (incl. Christmas shutdown) is about to end next week but haven't heard from site manager regarding PCI yet. Infact all appliances have already…

Thanks NeilP. I’ve done exactly that.

Hi, got another question regarding fencing.
My garage is on the zero boundary but there is still a gap of 150mm between garage wall and the boundary- does it need to…

Thanks for your response.

They're obligated to share the cost as per law. They may decide not to build for years and may choose to ignore the letters, in that case we will never…

Hi all,
I'm wondering if anyone has successfully recovered Fencing costs from the neighbours.
Our new house will be ready soon and need a fence to be installed before we move…

Search using the DP number. Stockland must have provided you the sub-division plan, it should be on that. If not ask your solicitor.

No. Probably documents missing.

I'm in Stage 14 and we had the same issue. The delay will only be few days not weeks. Shouldn't impact pre approval. As it is by now you should…

Hi all,
Can someone please explain to me how construction loan valuation works. I'm a bit concerned that the bank will under-value the tender/contract. What are the things I need to…

I'm rejoicing. Demand is still high for land. Not sure if it's a Willowdale thing or all releases on Camden Valley Way.

We're building with M and they said we will need to have a dropped edge beam on the garage side since it's zero ease. I think this is to protect…

Thank you so much.

That's great but people travelling to city will still have to change at Glenfield. I hope there is a direct train from Leppington to city someday.

Hi people, was hoping you could help me decide regarding insulation under Colorbond Roof. The builder is offering SARKING & R4 GLASSWOOL BATTS to the ceiling; however they've suggested installing…
