Yay we finally have council approval. Council rang Coral on Wednesday to say the house had been approved and the information was being sent to Coral's certifiers. Coral has said it will still be another 2-3 weeks until the plans are certified. Then we received a call from council yesterday to say the retaining wall had approval and the certification which Coral wanted would be in the mail this week.
We have also received our final finishings variations now. It was about $1k more than we were expecting. Apparently the Coral colours lady isn't quite up on the costs of things. The biggy was the carpet. We were told about $800. The price came back at $1900. Fairly big difference there but it is also a non negotiable for us. So we are sucking it up and paying it. Hubby's comment was "I'm not paying all this money to have a really nice house with crappy carpet." That seemed like a fair point to me. Plus the carpet was my choice so no complaints here. Hoping for a start date in March.
