Chisholm Build

So as you read previously we bought a Block of land in Chisholm, Newcastle.

We put a deposit down in December last year and exchanged in January after the christmas shut down.

We were tossing up between two builders in the end.... Beechwood or Mojo Homes.

They both gave the pros and cons however in the end Beechwood gave us an extra bedroom, large outdoor area, cheaper and overall bigger. It was a no brainer, financially it made sense. We choose the Verdelho twist 5 with Grand Terrazza.

I let Beechwood know my concerns and they are completely aware of what we didn't like last time and what can I say.. so far I can not fault them. (Fingers crossed it continues to go smoothly)

We paid our deposit in the beginning of February and we received our first drawn plans and tender variation whilst we were in America.
Let me tell you it gets expensive over there to print the pages out to sign and send back to Beechwood and boy was it hard to find somewhere to do it lol!

We received the plans on the 19th February 2016.

Second set of plans and tender variation received on the 8th of April - this came in at perfect timing as the plan and variation was at exactly what we wanted and we were due to settle on the land on the 14th April!

As soon as we settled we were ready to go off and get CDC approval.

Approval came back super quick on the 6th of May which only took 3 weeks!

What was even quicker was our colour selections! We were booked in for the 11th of May.

As you can see it has all gone so quick and smoothly and we couldn't be happier! Lets hope the rest continues this smoothly!
