We finally had our contract appointment yesterday. Received a phone call the day before to advise that the contract documents will be emailed to me and then another email will be sent 10 minutes prior to the appointment with the Zoom link to join the meeting. Didn’t receive anything… called our BC and she called …

Happy New Year! Time to organise demolition.
2021 came and went so quickly! It’s been over 6 months now since we paid the deposit to Porter Davis. Things are going a lot slower than I expected. Our contract date is coming up in just under 2 weeks and we have almost finalised everything. Kitchen Culture has only gotten back to me once …

World Of Style
Well, what a whirlwind week it’s been the last 10 days! On November 23rd, we had our first full day WoS appointment. Electrical Four hours… We had to decide all electrical components in the entire house within 4 hours! For electrical, I already had a plan on what we wanted so it wasn’t too bad. …

Tender Drawings Finalised
We have paid the second half of our deposit and have finalised the tender drawings. Looking good… Been told that there was no lunch provided and the cafe will probably not be open either. So at the WoS appointment, we’d have to walk to South Melbourne Market for lunch. Don’t know if this is good …

No available appointments to the World of Style
Over the weekend, I’ve been thinking that we really need to visit the World of Style (WoS) a few times before our 2 day WoS appointment. We are actually encouraged to visit the WoS as many times as possible before the WoS appointment to get a feel for what is available. In fact a friend …

WoS Appointment Postponed
Got a phone call today. Our World of Style appointment has been moved forward! It’s now on 23/11 and 26/11. Good timing too as we plan on demolishing our house sometime in December. They’ve got us pencilled in for April 1 start, but hopefully if we demolish earlier, they’d be able to start sooner rather …

World of Style Appointment
We signed the contract over the weekend and yesterday, we had to make our initial payment of just under $17k. For some reason, my credit card couldn’t pay the full amount even though it had enough funds in there. So they took $10k yesterday and once the final drawings are complete, then they’ll take the …

Tender Round 2
We had a courtesy call last week from our building coordinator. That was nice. She just called to touch base to see how we were going with our tender. Completely did not expect that phone call considering what I’ve been reading in the PD forums on Facebook. Today we had our tender, round 2. Actually …

Changed our mind
So as expected, we changed our mind yet again. This morning, I emailed our tender presenter (TP) and told her that we would like to increase the cut to 9.0 instead of 8.8. This would in effect raise the house position 20cm. I figured that it was probably better to increase the house position and …

Tender
Prior to today, I’ve been trying to get in touch with my BC to see if they received the changes that I requested for tender including a few major changes. I’ve been trying to reach by SC also, but no one seemed to want to talk to me. I was so anxious that I called …
