Project Regent

Today on our weekly drive out to look at our patch of grass we noticed that 2 blocks in our area have started building.  Damn!  We thought we might be the first!  This time next week ours would have started too.  I wonder how many more…

We also went past another Regent 23 being built a few streets away.  They’re building with the same Brown Terrain bricks as us.  They look great.  It seems to take about a week for the brick work as last week the brick had been delivered, but not started.  This week they’re just about done.

We just received some exciting news from PD.  They’ve been able to bring our start date forward by 2 weeks to the 14th August.  Thats super exciting!!!

There is a very small chance of bringing it forward again, but no guarantee.

Well we signed and delivered our final mortgage documents today.  Settlement for the land is still on track for Monday!

I also had to drop off some paperwork to Porter Davis today and had a chat with our administrator.  Our current official start date is the 28th August .  They are going to push for an earlier start seeing that our file is complete (28th July would be fab!).  Fingers crossed!

We were out looking at the progress of our land today. Nothing to report there. Still looks like its ready and still on track to title in a few weeks!

While we were there we say another Regent 23 that is being built a few streets away. They’re on the same size block as us so it was good to see how it will sit on the land and how much space we’ll have outside. We just wish our house was at lockup stage too, but we’ll just have to be patient.

Also while driving around that building area we saw a couple of houses being built with our bricks too. They look good!

I thought I’d put up the plans and elevations of the house for you all to look at. (click image for a bigger version)
