Block

Our block

Tender

We signed our New Home Preliminary Tender Letter today and was told we would have to wait approx 3 1/2 weeks for contracts and the roughly 2 weeks to go to council. Need to start thinking about external colours!!! omg, brain overload.

Soil testing came in at M/P.

We have also had our finance lady around this week. Have had to send the back contracts back because they were wrong, hopefully we should get the new ones this week. We then get in to see our solicitor to do some signing and off we go!

The House

The Coral house size is 33.5sq which is quite big for us but we also viewed it as a investment. We just loved the alfresco area, we think that is what did it for us. We fell in love with it.

Our House Build - Gold Coast Queensland

I thought I'd start a blog to keep track of our new house build.

We are in the process of buying a 909m2 block of land on the Gold Coast in Queensland Australia. This is the first time that we have ever built our own home so let the adventure begin!

After looking around what seems like hundreds of show homes we came across a design called the Hamilton by Coral Homes. After a few tweeks here and there we have finally decided on a layout that we like.
