Next step is for them to drill holes through the soil which will be filled with concrete to ground level to create "bored piers" - 56 in total across the site. Over these bored piers is placed crushed rock and then the slab is poured over the top. This is a very important step in the build since this process creates the foundations of our home.
Great to see it finally starting, where are you building?
ReplyDeleteYou're not wrong. We're building in Melbourne - eastern suburbs. Are you also dealing with CG?
ReplyDeleteWe are just starting... going to look at a CG house in Bentleigh this weekend. We are hoping to build in Bayside, so the design stage meeting should be interesting as Bayside have some interesting rescode requirements and the block is a little awkward. We will have to have an entry on the side of the property. I love reading that your build is going well as we also visited Metricon but weren’t confident that they could deliver a quality home.
ReplyDeleteThere was an article recently in the Weekly Review on Carter Grange Homes. It talked about CG now designing homes specifically to suit Bayside residents and planning regulations (which differ from other councils). Perhaps you should ask CG about this. May help you with your build. We've been really happy with CG so far.
ReplyDeleteCathy we are going to build with CG in Bayside. We have modified our floorplan (Metropol) to accommodate and it looks great. Our block is 640. What floor plan are you going with? Their off the shelf new house for bayside has all ensuites which we didn't want! The kids will never leave!
