I think the speed of the invoice delivery has astounded many of us!
Yay - handover tomorrow!

Oh yeah, I forgot about the added electrical cost! But I think most builders would only be including the minimum. We did go for downlights, and that is costly -…

Hi lileegirl - our tank was upsized by council! So we had to move it to the rear of house (during approval stage with council), as we wanted to maintain…

I agree with what has been said in past few posts. Maybe allow yourself $100000 over base price for extras, and site costs. Try and find out what your BAL…

Hi lileegirl. Yes, looks like we might have got it all sorted. Beechwood have come to the party on the situation, and we will be getting all done on handover…

Amanda, so you weren't able to move in until the plumber had finished on tues (otherwise you had no hot water, right?).
We're allianz aware that the appliances were not installed…

Yes, appliances are all through Beechwood. We are in Western Sydney, so going through head office Wetherill Park. The subcontractor is Costas. According to Beechwood they have to have the…

Thats looking good lickitysplit!
Grace33 - where is your block in that photo? To the left, right, or straight ahead at end of street?
Still need help with my last few posts…

Who are people getting their insurance with for handover?? We have a problem with getting it.
Also, when are you appliances installed in relation to handover?

HELP! Can anyone tell me about this situation.....
We have pushed beechwood to get a handover appointment, which we are doing this week after picking up our bank cheque. At this…

Yes, Kay would appreciate details of shutter company!

Thats a great price!
I do love them, but not sure, as I don't think my hubby will want to get them. I have day night blinds on layby at…

Or our other option is plantation shutters. Has anyone done these in a Beechwood home and have any idea of cost for these???

Thinking of using a day night blind (double roller) with a white sheer and dark blockout on windows. Does anyone have photos of these in houses, or used them?…

We are at handover stage now. My advice is just keep ringing and emailing your customer service representative to ask them all your questions and keep updated. There is a…

No.
The rio is still being dealt with. We won't be signing any papers though until its been fixed.
The brickwork to our garage wall is slightly crooked. We have pursued…

Thanks Lileegirl for fence price. We will get some quotes and compare them to doing job ourselves.
Yay!! We had our practical completion inspection today, and all went well. Hopefully be…

It is definately Austral one Silver (I was just reading their posts back in April 2014). We used Austral One Pepper and a Monument roof. Have a look at…

Anyone have a rough cost per metre for colourbond fence installed by professional?

Looks great Moscato. It's so exciting when you finally see some progress!
To anyone who has already had (or proceeding with) handover...what do we need for our occupation certificate? My understanding…

love it lickitysplit!

Don't worry lickitysplit, we have a block that is 1110msq, and with a slope. So we need to do lots of landscaping, and retaining walls - its not a job…

House looks great, and that was good progress for three weeks! Fingers crossed they keep it up for you.
I like your block - nice at the end of street (?).

We were told that changes within the original roofline are cheaper and easier. Its worth a try by writing to head office.
I see what you mean now... they have already…

The Bordeaux is just over 22m in length, so if you are adding a metre to the width of the house, wouldn't it be adding approximately 22msq overall?
In anycase,…

Yes, they fill them with a silicone that blends with the mortar. (At least your join is straight! Ours are terrible!! Overall, we were unhappy about a few things with…

Great news el-verdelho! We are waiting on news about our house. They have done their internal inspection, but seem to be a bit slow getting the last few things finalised.…

We have our Practical Completion Inspection tomorrow (which is an internal inspection for Beechwood). How long after this have people been getting their presentation walkthrough's?

If you are getting the conduit put inside walls so you can hang TVs on wall, I suggest you look at what height you want the top outlet to be…

Hey el-verdelho! Your interior colours look similar to ours! I will have to refresh my memory on how to post photos.
Did you get gloss or matt finish on your kitchen…
