Update - Went to the house this morning... and the melamine shelving in the wip/butler's pantry doesn't look bad. Pictures were deceiving. All good!

Hi everyone, just a question for those who already has shelving installed for the WIP & WIL.
We turned the WIP into a butler's pantry, so we have additional cupboards/cabinets,…

Congrats, Rose!

I agree!!! Include landscaping in the budget! It was the last thing in our minds until they have been coming in for quotes! Expensive unless you are capable to do…

SB - Landscaping looks good!
Who picked up, in regards to the issue on your roof trusses? Good to hear it is getting fixed.

Light - Bathroom walls are most likely the same paint as the entire house.

We could have included waterproofing with the package. However we have already pre-paid & only decided to do the waterproofing inspection, 2 weeks before the required inspection.

Congrats Leese!
If you go with tiles for flooring, it will be with Tiles Direct. At the colours appt, another company does wooden/laminate/vinyl flooring & carpets. Unless you decide to do…

Kim - I think the critical ones are pre-lining/lock up & PCI, maybe at slab too. They will let you know anyway. They normally do a package deal for :…

Bk - Thank you for this...it makes sense then. We got an email back from our lender & all they said was, that is the minimum amount they want on…

Rose - Congrats! Enjoy your new home!
Kim - We booked our inspections with HOUSPECT as well. They go everywhere in Sydney, maybe even up to Central Coast (not sure).…

Woohoo finally! Do you think they would have finished it on the same time if you hadn't gone to area manager?
DG, when did your build start again? Sorry, I…

DG, when did your build start again? Sorry, I think I have forgotten...

Congrats Lizzy!

Congrats DG!

Exactly the same sentiments! Why do we have to think of these things? This is something that should have been offered to us during colours. Plus now finding out from…

This is just one of the things we got annoyed about too. We didn't get asked about extra insulations (except for sarking) during colours. We then asked when our file…

Congrats, Rose! Exciting times!

Congrats, Denot! Only a week from PCI to handover! How lucky!

Yes, landscaping is quite expensive too, even for a basic one.

Elisen - ours only took a few days to get slabbed from "file to construction." We are building at Kellyville. We assumed they must have been doing a few lots…

Hi Emoussa, I replied to your question before, not sure if you got it. It is still electricity but we are planning on installing solar panels within a year or…

Same here, should have gone to Diamond. Lol!

Still electricity but we are planning to install solar panels as well within the year. We are hoping it will offset it. Lol!

Emoussa - We had it installed in the Ensuite & Main Bathroom via Clarendon. After handover, we are getting our tiles installed in the living areas via CTM Tiles. They…

Rose, architrave missing the mark is so obvious. Not sure why it wasn't rectified at the time.
