Signed off Contract on Build 1st March 2011

Hi there

We are both so excited as we have finally got to the end of the initial process and have signed our Master Builders contract with our Builder on Tuesday the 1st March 2011.  Our Lawyer and more importantly the bank are all happy with things and now we are on our exciting journey of building our first house for our little family.  Deposit has been paid and the Architect is full steam ahead doing the working drawings for our Builder to get off to council a week from this Monday!

This morning we had to pop up and take photos of the section as we had a funny feeling the Builder raced up to place his sign up on the plot straight after we signed off the contract...I think he is excited too which is great.  Well all going to plan once the permits are sorted we will be breaking ground in about a months time!  Yippee! Until that time we will have it pegged out which will bring much more reality to the situation.

It feels like this has taken so long to get to this point but realistically we needed all our ducks in a row to get to this stage and we are glad we took the extra time to make the choices we have for our build.

Well thank you for reading our blog and hopefully we can offer information and hints for others from our build as we will be picking up the same from other blogs like ours.


Cheers


Tracey and Nathan
