Please please have gotten an inspection for your build.
We built with Burbank 10years ago and used New Home Inspections. They observed multiple issues/gaps during construction.

Has anyone seen an outdoor 4 seater table that extends to 6-8 seater in Melbourne? Ikea has one but I would like something different. Plenty of 6 to 8-12 seaters…

Hi all,
Tips for speeding up the build now u are at final stages
1) pressure your builder to arrange tap installation
2) pay CIL with council. Our builder wouldn't start before we…

There are shops going in on the cnr of Chapel Rd & Hutton/Greens Rd. Rumour has it that building will start in December 15

Congrats on moving in. Looks great enjoy your new home

Oh make sure in your PCI you ask for site clean both front and back. We removed over 20wheelbarrow loads of stones at the front before we could start grass.

Looks grey in the photos. Ours turned out more like the sample

Looking great. Really close now

If it helps the road closure on Chapel Rd in front of your estate is suppose to be for 8weeks. it's been closed for two weeks so far so probably…

No we built with Burbank too

We stuck in over the weekend when we were at your stage and put up extra 2x4 nogging to hang tv brackets along with conduit

Somerfield team confirmed on Facebook page. we've confirmed there are 3 types of trees used in the Stage 15 streetscapes. Acer campestre 'Elsrijk' on Stanley Road, Fraxinus pennsylvanica 'Cimmzam' Cimmaron…

Ours DAP approval for minor changes with colours took a week others in our stage15 took 2-3weeks. Suppose it depends on their workload

We have the same in our backyard (stage15) I believe it's a storm water drain.

Have you moved in yet? Our builder set ours up and you get first bill once u move in

What a pain for you. Was the builder suppose to install have u checked your contract? At least u have the $1500 credit from Somerfield should cover the cost.

Did your builders not installed the conduit for you? If they did refer to pricing above.

Hi reeta, merry Christmas. Check the contract from your builder it should outline who pays for water and electricity. Our builder paid for usage and we paid sewerage and annual…

Have you called South East Water for charges? We haven't moved in yet.

Yes we moved both taps before signing the final drawings so we could put the BBQ there instead. But they have installed them very high above waist height. Make sure…

The way I read the email was that it was sent to all stages not just us. Contract terms state established within three months same as front yard.

Yeah Jen & Dan!!!!
