Construction has commenced!

After getting quotes from Simonds and Henley, we have decided to build with Porter Davis. We are building the Rowland 35 (with Grand Alfresco) design. This house is a little bigger than we initially planned on building, but it is the smallest double storey (it is a requirement of the developer that we have a double storey on our block) in the Porter Davis range. We loved the floor plan, and it was one of the few that would fit on our block (wide, but not very deep). Anyway, we are satisfied with the quote for site costs and signed a contract with Porter Davis in January 2009. Site start was 27 April- we are scheduled to have handover late January 2010.

We went out to site on the weekend to see that they had scraped the site, and poured the concrete piers for the foundations, and the 'screw piles' in the rear of the slab. I expect they will lay the waffle pods and pour the slab some time this week (weather permitting). Below is a photo of the Rowland display home as well as some shots of the block as it was on 3 May 09.
