We are near completion of our build. I have been pretty happy with Elderton. Great on price and build is on schedule.

I am more referring to the glossy finish to the concrete, not the fact they're joint concrete slabs. My house currently being built has a H class slab, although not…

Hi,
I have read a few threads on Homeone about polished concrete. I have read mostly that you're looking at minimum $100/m2 for a good job.
One of the quotes I…

Hi,
You pay a premium for not having to wait for registration etc.
In Nov 2014 we secure 300m2 for $299k, and are building a 2 story, 4 bedroom, single garage…

Hi,
For those who haven't purchased, might be worth trying for this to increase your chances at getting land https://www.stockland.com.au/residentia ... trove.aspx
Also, Horizons is another option, as…

was there a land release on Saturday 20th feb? Anyone have price list? Just curious.

Congrats. We're also building the Watermark with Elderton. A great plan. Very similar to the Leaton 28 at Clarendon, but Clarendon charged an extra 40k or so for virtually…

Hi,
My land will soon register, and soon after we will start construction. Is there any disadvantage to having the finance for land and construction as individual loans with separate banks?…

Thanks mate!

Hi,
We're currently in the process of building (yet to start construction, still awaiting land registration). My wife and I like the idea of dual shower heads, for a bit of…

I've been a little worried about how strict Stockland would be regarding approving facades and bricks etc.
I went for a drive around Willowdale the other weekend (design guidelines are very…

They must have had great success, as they've announced another release for this weekend.
Release Plan: http://www.thegablesboxhill.com.au/uplo ... 29-Aug.pdf
Price List: http://www.thegablesboxhill.com.au/uplo ...…

Wow...The Gables. First release and they're going for $1200 a sq/m. I'd be interested to see how they sell (they'll probably sell out in a day like every other land…

No worries. Thanks Cremorne35!

Oops you misunderstood. My bad! I just edited my initial post because I realised the wording was poor. I mean to say we're not a big fan of the ultra-modern…

I was taking a look at the Elara design guidelines, and noticed they don't specifically address which brick colours you can choose/they'll allow, only that the design will need to…

Where exactly does our lot start? Is it at the kerb, or bit back to leave room for foot path?

Here is a panoramic pic I took on Sunday.

Yes. It's funny. I had been wanting to email them for a while for an update, but was trying to be patient and wait for the next update. I finally…

My wife and I went for a drive last night at Elara after a trip to IKEA. We turned onto Elara Blvd from Richmond Rd, but Elara Blvd becomes fenced…

@ My_Dream_Home
Like get2rush, I was going to say the same thing. We were going to go with Clarendon, but it proved a little expensive. We then found a very similar…

I am too in stage 8. Last I heard was an email a few months ago (the one when we were notified of street names) and it said that the…

Hey everyone,
I am going to be building a house. I plan to use the garage as a living space/music room. I am not sure how I should approach this.
Should I…

resurrecting this thread. I have another question regarding the FHOG.
It states: "the value of the property must not exceed the First Home Owner Grant Cap of $750,000 for contracts dated…

In regards to the whole rear setback thing, I once inquired about a floor plan with Fowler homes, the same plan that was sold as a H&L package in Elara,…

As someone who bought 300m2 for $299k, I'd be very pleased if it were valued at close to $400k already

We also have 10x30m. We are currently looking at http://www.lilyhomes.com.au/bluebell_24.html. The price for this one on our land was quoted at $282k with the most basic…

I am in stage 8 so won't be able to walk the lot this Sunday unfortunately. Key requirements for us are 4 bedrooms, 2 separate living spaces. We have found…

@viratang we are building on 300m2, so have been looking. I assume your land is 10m frontage? Due to budget restraints, we're going to have to stick to a single…
