Ugh. Throw a spanner in the works on my place. The final inspection was meant to be on Monday, and everything all fine and dandy, but then this afternoon my…

Hmm. OK. This isn't the 'NHP' inspection, this is the final building inspection from New Home Inspections... I guess I should call up the office and find out when that…

I have NBN, now, too! Things are slowly tapering to a close, I think. Boutique was really good in letting me get in and the NBN guys in to install…

Hey guys, I'll be getting one of these:

Really easy to install. No electrician required, just a set of rechargeable batteries for both cameras, and…

Oh geez - really sorry to hear about that JP79. That sounds like it was an inside job, if you know what I mean... =/ Seems particularly strange given that…

We got 2100x1200 as our kitchen benchtop, and paid for the waterfall sides.
With the sink there, it feels a little smaller than I'd expected, but I mean, I'm just being…
Boutique Homes
Ahh, stone benchtops. Such a relief! Just the tiling, plumbing, and a few touchups from the painters and the plasterers to go, and then we can do our final inspection!

Hi frenchwontons,
You need to get firm responses for each item from the SS on when they will be fixed. We do have an issue with something identified in our frame…

$3700 total. For our double story Airlie 33.
We got quoted $1700 by a trade, but got told we couldn't have any other trades doing work in the middle of…
Boutique Homes
Gosh, I'm glad we're well past that stage, if they're changing that all around now. We went with Boutique primarily because of all the great upgrades that were included in…
Boutique Homes
Ouch Ozden86 - that sounds tricky. I would try to elevate the request above the site supervisor and your client liaison, and try to talk to someone in management. Get…

Checking back in here a few months after some of the dramas we had with the Steel support beam.
Things have gone fairly smoothly since. We're probably a couple of weeks…
Boutique Homes
Yeah we have the inspection report from New Home Inspections to back us up. The steel beam does not meet Victorian Building Code, so we have every right to not…
Boutique Homes
Gosh. I haven't visited this thread in a couple of months... some of the stories you guys are telling are deplorable... We've had a few little issues since going into…
Boutique Homes
Oh crap - I hope we don't get the same SS - we're just about to be handed over to construction on 1st July and are building in Croydon! So…

I think public commentary sometimes is the only way for people to be accountable for their job. I would go up the chain - complain to someone about it. Threaten…
Boutique Homes
Gee, that's not such a great tale.
What are the reasons for it being delayed? Is your site supervisor slack, or are there genuine issues causing delays? Can you make yourself…
Boutique Homes
Gosh, that sucks.
I would have been extremely reluctant to sign an HIA contract before the colours and electrical appointments.
I guess I'm just lucky we got ours done before the change.
I've…
Boutique Homes
This is a bit strange. Are you sure they're not just wanting you to sign a PWC? Pre-works contract? It shouldn't be a proper HIA contract. You HAVE to choose…

Hey guys - new to this forum, but enjoying reading everyone's updates and experiences.
Me and my wife are just about to begin building an Airlie 33 in Croydon, VIC. We…

Hey guys,
New to this forum. Me and my wife have bought Lot 918. We just received our builders permit after going through all the submissions for developers approval, final…
