Welcome to David and Fionas House Building Web Blog. We bought our block in Doreen in December 2007 and chose our house and builder at this time as well. It is being built by Hen3ley homes and it is called the Sutton.
We went for our first appointment with the builders on January 7th 2008 to decide on the colours we wanted to put in the house. We had to choose tiles and cupboards and doors and sinks. Lets hope it doesn’t look a mess when it’s all put together. Best to ask how much more the tiles are because they may be cheaper than you think.
On 29th January we had our tender meeting and they told us how much our site costs were. They were around $14000 because we are building on a slope and the builders don’t like this.
On the 29th February we signed all the contracts. Boy, what a palava that was. We had to inital every single page and sign quite a few others.
The site supervisor went up there and said that we didn’t have all our pegs in which would cost us more money for a resurvey. However my husband went to check and they were there so good thing we checked.
On the 5th May 2008 the house build finally started.
It is now the 15th May and the plumbers have been to lay the pipe and the foundation hole has been dug.
However, it is the 15th May and we have hit a problem. Our builders failed to inform us that we would need to get power connected to our block and are now saying the project could be delayed or they will charge extra for a generator to be used. They should have told us before that the electric needed to be connected but didn't and now all they're saying is it's in your contract. Boo, Hiss, we're not happy. Lets hope this is not the start of problems for the future.
