The chippies started on my roof yesterday and got heaps done, wont be surprised if they are finished and out of there before Friday.

So far so good with the building side of things. Everytime there is anything to do with the office people it is a nightmare.

yah my mates the one that has the pad that was extended.. unrucky for him!

i went and visited my house this morning and they have delivered all the roofing internals ready to go up and they have done all but one room now so things are moving along nicely..

i actually saw my sales rep for homebuyers at the hotrod show and had a good chat to him he was pleased with the progress

We started in June, should be done within 2 months. Had a few problems but having my girlfriend work for the builder makes everything so much easier.

i will be building through homestart too... signing the building contract next week. the pre-approval and planning process has been quite extensive, and has taken longer than first anticipated. Every time I've rung Homestart for an update, they say "it'll be 2 weeks"...we started plans etc late july, and they are gonna scrape it through right to the FHOG deadline with unconditional approval and plans....

Land developer has been really antzy about the finance approvals too, have had to apply for 2 extensions already!

block is 600sqm and house 215sqm.

We are building with ventura homes best ppl,
block is 520spm house is 253sqm

I am building with In-Vogue, verrrry long Pre-start process... (started in Jan)

Slab down at the end of June, just about at plate height, so far so good.

I just has issues with the pre start due to all of the changes I made, and the extravagant cost they wanted to charge me for them!

I wouldnt think twice about it really, I had to get an extension 4 or 5 times and my brother who just built was even more (7 or so)

I have just built a new home with new generation (summit homes) and I would highly recommend them to anyone. we had no problems with them at all and I want to build again because it was an enjoyable experance.
the guy to talk to there is Kim Dickson.

it probably got more to do with the banks.

they wont release funds unless the title is issued, or at least the Plan is In order for Dealings. But developers dont want to many titles sitting due to teh fact you have to start paying rates on these blocks.

Prior to this you actually have to get the plan approved by Landgate, WAPC with all items signed off by water, power and local councils.

Landgate also then has issues with workloads (were working on some plan lodged 5 weeks ago last time i talked to them.) Before i upset anyone, there is a system in place to speed FHB plans through as quickly as posible with minimal issues. It's a work in progress

#NOTE: The above is all personal opinion and should not be interpreted as an official statement from either myself or my unnamed employers.

wtf.. they said to me that it all goes on the house and what evers left after the fees comes to you not the whole 21k unless you paid all your fees urself. oh well i didnt get 21k anyways and my full 7k got gobbled by fees.

yeh Megs i got my keys 3rd of july so been here almost 2 months now, absolutely love it!!! its not costing me much more than it costed to rent the only crap thing is the first year of rates i have rates and council crap coming out my ears.. stuff that you generally dont get prewarned about..plan for water/sewerage and council rates

where you building?
