Build with Webb & Brown-Neaves (WA) - maintenance

It has now been six months since our handover - time to start the six month maintenance. We have a 12 month maintenance period in our contract, but we were…

Good luck! I hope this is all over for you very soon.

That's hard. I just searched Pinterest and Google for as many pictures of them as I could find. They still looked different from what I was expecting when they arrived…

Hi Trixee
We just ordered them online, from Australia though - Dunlin (I expect you know of them). It is annoying not to be able to see them in person first…

Fingers crossed here too! Do keep us updated.

Two story with Webb & Brown-Neaves on Mandurah Canals, WA

We have the same issue with our planters. And ours don't have any retaining function, so I don't know why they build them with the bricks in that direction rather…

Unfortunately yes, Trixee, it was hideously expensive.
We paid:
- the extra cost of tiles above the allowance (for areas for which tiling was allowed)
- the whole cost of tiles in…

I really feel like we're close to having the inside of this house finished now. We still have a few issues to sort out with the builder (minor plumbing and…

Thanks!
Trixee: I love that dining table too - especially the legs (which you can't see very well in that photo). It was a wedding present from my parents and came…

Hi everyone
Like many others, we've found this forum really helpful, so we thought we'd start a thread for our build, in case our experience so far is of use to…

Now that the inside of the house is almost all set up, I thought I'd put up a few pictures.
This is our main living, dining and kitchen area:

I hope the meeting is productive fancy pants. You'll have lots of homeone forum members sending you good vibes on 11 July.

Oh fancy pants. That's just horrible. I'm very sorry.

Thanks everyone.
Fancy pants, it's interesting that the paint issue was in your addenda. I've just gone back and checked ours (and our paint selection sheet) and it didn't have anything…

We have now moved in! It's so nice to be living in a house - a whole house that's all ours! There's so much space!
I am, however, looking forward to…

That's quite a list!
No, I don't think that grout issue is normal. They should fix it for you.
And I think we have the same skirting/door paint colour problem as…
