We finally signed the contracts!

Well today we finally signed the building contracts for our new "Brilliant Home". What a long journey it has been to get here. We first started looking for a new home builder back in 2010 searching high and low for a someone to knock down and build a double brick home on our sloping block. After visiting Homeworld at Kellyville and Homequest at Bella Vista we soon realised that a project home builder wasn't going to give us a double brick construction with the quality inclusions we wanted. So we turned to searching the net and this is where we found our custom builder "Brilliant Homes".

It wasn't until exactly 2 years later that we had plans ready to submit to council for DA approval. The DA process took at lot longer than expected and it wasn't until January of this year that we had council approval to proceed. Let's say we learnt the hard way and in future if we ever build again we'll go straight to a private certifier rather than through council.

Anyway, 8 months later our construction certificate has now been granted, our contract reviewed and today we signed the many pages of documentation that will be our new home. The removalists have been booked for next week so the next step is to pack, pack, pack with the plan to move half of our home into our new temporary apartment and the rest into storage so that we can sell everything else
off before the bulldozers come in.
