Started in winter - May last year and then we had Xmas a killer, handover this Tuesday.

Would be interested to find out when the concrete was poured date?? and when you expect handover?? I am doing some comparisons, as I think my builder took too long. All up from concrete pour to handover 9 months 1 week, we had the Xmas break during this time. However a similar size project in...

I love a good fence story, my last development I coughed up the lot. I hope you have better luck:)

I see what you are doing, matching fencing, trim above and door, still think surfmist a better option, and wont date as quickly. I think the wood look alike garage doors are perhaps dated and can look cheap/tacky, just my thoughts:)

Your right, I thought exactly same, I went surfmist roof/g door, it looks right. The thing is garage doors should never stand out as a feature, that's what the designers tell me, I guess that makes sense.

All good colours/options. I will also add ... worth looking at these, doing this for my project and it looks great. My g/friend is an interior designer and she selected - Pebble Bay (Taubmans) - 50% strength (internal - walls) If you want crisp/clean look Timber/door/skirting trims...

Thanks Boeman, doing my head in as well.

..... but aint that the truth, everything on lower cost villas has been done to death, I absolutely hate those feature tiles everyone uses in ensuites what is it, chocolate colour strip, yuk.... anyway don't get me started, I have a list that I am sure no one cares about. Jaylo you may be just...

Does your broker have any other finance options for your deve?? we generally have a few lenders/options we can use, if one valuation does not come in we try the next lender for higher valuation? This has worked in some cases. Also, do you meet up with the guy valuing the property? do you...

I like the drawings very much, great work.

Yes, generally provisional sum for site works, what I found very interesting though with my Spearwood project was that the larger spec builders allowed way too much for the site works and this took the total builds well over the smaller builder quotes/prices. My builder basically provided me...

Another suggestion that may be cost effective? Speak to your draftee, ask him for a list of builders, he also develops he should know many. Just contact a couple of the spec builders yourself and get them to provide a quote. When I was building in the south west area and could not view...

Why building broker, time poor???

I have been screaming oversupply for a while just my opinion. If I am right can you hold??? Is it positive cash flow after all outgoings?? How long is it taking for villas to sell?? Are villas dropping in price?? If you have to hold, change your strategy in terms of spec of each...

At least you have a nice flat block, no massive retaining costs:)

Yes, Sanj, I using you to view my next drawings, is that OK....:) Jaylo I was going to use your draftee but he was just so expensive and a little arrogant by the way. My builder uses him all the time as he said he performs miracles, had a very good relationship with this draftee. Cheers MTR

Hi J I assume you are using this draftee to prepare designs for DA, are you able to share the price??? Am interested. My draftee on last project charged $5000 for this which was very reasonable, however I wont use him again, because he was always late, continual delays and also I had to push...

Cost came in at $13750 including GST, which was very good price. My builder tells me they are the best in town, as they are also efficient, some don't turn up ..... delays, not good.

Mini diggers one of the best in Perth and competitive.

I prefer to use a designer and then shop it, have had best results down this road. As far as design many factors to consider, area for one. In Balga I would go traditional for resale. Also, blocks in Balga are now selling for around $500K and still rising, you may want to watch this market...
