Week prior to commencement of Build

Apologies for the technical glitch on the previous post which has now being deleted. This will only really be of interest to those who know us - or maybe to somebody contemplating a build in Aus. We are building a rather modest house on a golf estate near Wilton, South West of Sydney. We have had outstanding service from Rodney (good name :-) Macdraft http://www.macdraft.com.au who made numerous amendments etc. without any issues. And then on numerous recommendations decided to build with Hilton Homes http://www.hiltonhomes.com.au though would also have been happy to go with Urbanstyle homes as well: http://www.urbanstylehomes.com.au All the other large companies have huge numbers of complaints against them. My advice would be to search whatever service or product you are contemplating at the site: http://www.productreview.com.au Makes for very interesting reading...

As soon as the guys were ready to commence building the heavens opened and we had quite a bit of rain - Murphy's law. But some progress has been made:

Below is an overview plan and shots from the site ptior to start and then week by week - I will try and post updates on a weekly basis:
Quick specs: Plot 450m2, House 261.65m2 Building expected to take 5 months.


The plan of our little house in a quaint town called Wilton outside of Sydney.
