After 7yrs of living in my build I decided on this treatment for my house, I had no termites present or any indication of termite damage, it's completely normal and…

Our neighbours at the house we're in at the moment built with DA and they smashed it out! The house just flew up, so fingers crossed it flies for you…

Honestly it seems as it depends who you build with, any BGC companies you'll be waiting a long time. I'm with Blueprint had the below time line -
02 March…

That's honestly a little selfish of them, to not disgruntle my neighbours I placed my air con unit on our back wall facing into our backyard. I'd much prefer it…

So far so good anyway! I just have to be realistic about future delays that will come.
I went out and visited the slab today and they’ve cleared it and it’s…

Yeah I’ve been super impressed with their communication side every aspect of the way from first talking to them last year right up until todays email, we are building with…

I'm in Perth and had my slab down within 6wks from council approval, my builder has been up front and honest about what trades and materials are in short supply…

I find it odd they’re ‘custom’ yet won’t let you go smaller or to the wall for the basin.
Back in 2013 I was on a very strict budget building my…

To get you to sign now they will 100% tell you the price will go up if you don't secure it now and it probably will. But if it jumps…

I wouldn't sign anything until much closer, confirm with your developer a month before titles are due as to whether they are looking to be on time or not.
Certainly don't…

It would certainly pay to get a pest company out to check for termites and protect for them, by time you see any termite damage on the outside it's usually…

It's a tough one, I'm not sure where you are located, but in Perth here a lot of builders are passing on massive increases even part way through the build…

100% agree with this, a nice render over it and lots of green leafy plants in the garden bed would be the simplest option that would look really nice.

We've recently purchased land and have completed everything online. However its not a new estate, it's one of the last releases in the estate (14 all up I believe), so…

I'd honestly leave it until later again.
We signed start of June, our land titled mid September, we were still hit with a price increase with the builder. Maybe around…

You run the risk of locking in now and getting price increases (they usually only have in the contract a 90 day hold on prices).
We locked in a bit…

Unfortunately in WA that’s for most people, especially if your builder isn’t ahead of the game with scheduling and ordering

It's all too common right now in WA, most especially if you're with a BGC company, soon enough they'll probably issue you a price increase as well if you're extra…

Unfortunately every builder is delayed right now, lack of supplies and trades are not helping at all.

I am in the tender process still for my current build, but we have 5 houses being built down my street where we are currently living.
1 started just after…

Even though they’ve listed it on the plans to be like that..?

Sorry it's a bit late.. but my builder has mentioned they add it so its easier to add a door onto later on.

I had double sinks in my ensuite in my house I just sold, whilst it made for a beautiful picture for the advertising.. it really was just extra to clean!…

Hi!
Personally I'd keep a double garage or carport, single garages are insanely narrow you'll find you wont be able to get your passenger out while parked anyway. It will affect…

I shocked and saddend for you guys
I seen the site supervisor there yesterday and I was tempted to say something at how slow the two…

Theyve almost finished your drive way when I drove past about half an hour ago. No reason why they couldnt get it done today!

They are there right now paving away. Fingers crossed!

No my water meter is to the side of my drive way. They had to flip my house plans so the driveway didnt go over it.
Gosh Commodore are proving to…

All your blinds are up so I cant see in anymore, paving has been started also!
I can't see what would hold them back on getting the keys to you before…

Wow I would be so un impressed with that!! I walked past yesterday and there really isnt much left to do as far as I can see?
I've been in my…
