We did the final inspection yesterday. Move in remains scheduled for the week after next.
Generally, everything is looking great. The downstairs wooden flooring has been laid and we're really pleased with the colours and textures throughout the house. Unfortunately the carpets hadn't yet been laid due to an overrun on another job.
We had some help from dads and a family friend in inspecting the property. Collectively they have a lot of construction experience and we were pleased with their thoughts that everything is generally well constructed and well finished. Aside from a few unfinished things (like the carpets), and some paint touch ups, there wasn't much to fix.
The windows throughout are of a poor quality - that's pretty much the only thing we're disappointed with. The sliding stacker doors through to the alfresco were already very difficult to open... something to watch in the next 3 months of the warranty period.
Still also a great deal to do before the house becomes a home , including the driveway, garden, decking, and perimeter fences/walls. Then of course decorating and furnishing the inside. We'll put some pictures up once everything is finished.

Online reading is not my thing. But after reading your blog I am really pleased. I don’t know about other blogs but this I will definitely keep coming back to.

Hi, Thank you for sharing your experience. We are currently looking at a modify version of Elyse 15. If you can do it again, would you build with Alkira? We also looked at Metricon but feel confuse about the choices.Thanks
