Welcome Pack in the mail

Today we received in the mail our welcome pack  to the administration portion of building a home. The letter of introduction outlines what to bring when we visit head office for two important appointment dates.

The first appointment will be to review the authorised tender and sign our building contract. Three hours has been assigned for this appointment. We need to bring the letter from the lender, land rates for proof of ownership, the sewer location plan (Ascon).

The 2nd appointment will take place two days later and this will be for colour selection. Three hours has been assigned for this appointment. Hubby is leaving that appointment for me to do on my own (which I'm totally fine with) I'm now at 85% complete with selections and will have it finished by tomorrow.

The pack also includes the electrical plan and price list for additional power and light points, now I just need to transfer what I have worked on so far to the plan to take with us. Also in the pack are examples of HIA building contract; QBCC Termite management system information; Swimming pool installation policy; Owner supply items policy; 50 year structural guarantee; 12 month warranty document and house build specifications. TIP/NOTE Lots of pre reading before you attend the contract signing appointment is essential.

Tomorrow I will be going to an information session at the Cosham design studio to prepare for the colour selection process, just in case the process has changed since I was last there,10 years ago. Last of the decisions tomorrow after the session will be to choose carpet; stone bench tops; wood stain; taps and basins.
