congrats Manj really exciting - looks beautiful

Hi jbal
I’d be very interested to hear more. There is not much Como will do for you once site cut has been made is there?
We will be in a…

like your choices Manj looks really great

How about ‘Arden Build 2019’ ?

Perhaps we need to start a new forum? Great someone else is similarly timed - thought I was well behind everyone!

Really looks great Manj how exciting
We are just about to have site cut next week after a very long lead up time...hope we progress as beautifully as you

So exciting after watching your journey all this time! It looks just beautiful. Now that you’ve reached this milestone, any wisdom you’ve accumulated to share? Congratulations

Just as a point of clarification - I have it in writing from Arden that this is 28 days for the entire build, not 28days per inspection/report

Kollosche how beautiful! What lovely taste you have. It has all worked out so nicely. What was your living area floor choice? Colour and type? How delightful for you xx

Wow really happening now! Who are doing your inspections? And why the tree before construction finished??
Congrats must be nice to be getting on.

Other than bedrooms, study (category 2 carpet which is now a lot nicer than when we started the process - they have expanded their offering) our wet areas and downstairs…

Wow Ezza looks great - yes what a journey and well done!! You seem to have had a fairly uncomplicated build - were you happy with Arden? Any tips for…

Wonderful well done!! May it be smooth sailing from here

I’m guessing you feel DJM have done a poor job - have you since heard there are others that are better? Are DJM ‘in the builder’s pocket’, as such?
Also, if…

Hi Manj - congrats on your progress! Can I ask what you mean by pick your own building surveyer - is there an inspector as well as a surveyer? Are…

very exciting pEast

We are still with council...but things looking quite for hopeful for speedily moving through this part

Hi pE everything looking great. Sorry if you’ve already mentioned - which floors did you choose?

Have compared with other pricing since - I don’t think the lower figure is considerably out of range. For just a patch of lawn and peripheral minimal planting I think…

Yes much more than we had thought! I have a very detailed brief but it wasn’t ‘fancy’. Driveway in existing location and to remain gravel. No swimming pool (!!), possibly…

How are things going Ezza?

Hey Manj
How is everything going? Wondering where you are up to in the process.

I don’t think (outside of this weird period of choosing colours for our own property) I’ve ever looked at a house and not liked it on account of its bricks…

So exciting pEast. Is their timing back on track? Have you had many issues with your private inspections or are you generally happy with Arden’s product? It really looks like…

Did you mean a post contract variation? Or do cupboards count as a structural change (ie not allowed post tender)

Yes can definitely change colours post tender. Upgrade bricks for single storey (translating from our double storey) I think will be in order of $2,000-$3,500

And clareymoo

Thanks very much pEast
