Ok, so a little word about Plantation so far...
They have been FANTASTIC!!! We have been dealing with them since July/August and have been very impressed with just how organised, lovely and easy they are to deal with. We hope it continues when we start the build next year :)
One of the best things so far is that they are super organised and on top of things. When you pay your initial deposit you receive a handy folder that has all of the building process explained and organises all of your documents into sections as you receive them. For an 'organiser-nerd' like myself, I was def impressed ;)
So to give an overview of where we are up to in the building process-
-We paid our initial deposit and had the soil test completed (M-class soil, which was good)
- We attended our New Home Proposal meeting & signed the NHP
- We had our contract appointment, went through all of our plans & signed it - lock it in Eddy!
- We had our colour selection appointment (more to come on that soon) This was a HUGE day of decision making, but it went really well and we are super excited about what we've chosen in our selections.
- We have had our electrical appointment on the Sunshine Coast. It was really informative and the lady was very helpful. It took us nearly 3hrs, but it was well worth it as we're very happy with the additional lighting we've put in :)
So we have almost completed the 'administrative' side of things, which is what we had aimed to do by the end of the year. Our timeline (if all goes to plan) will see us ready to kick things off at the beginning of next year. We would rather this as the builders & PH go on leave over the Christmas/New Year break :)
I have attached our plans.
Some additional changes we have made:
1) Extended the alfresco
2) closed in the butlers pantry with a feature door
3) Added a spa to the ensuite
4) Added provision for ducted air-con (we will buy the unit down the track)
5) Added a long bench in the laundry
6) Upgraded to the 'Blake' facade
