Just a reminder guys, I created this post to show the progress of my build. Like many others have done here. There is no intention to defame anyone and this…

:shock: OMG, I just went back and started from the beginning! OMG. Sorry, that IS really bad Like

Not interested in defaming them as a company. Reason I started this thread was to show my friends how my build was going.

I have not lodged a complaint. Progress of my build has been documented in case I have problems in the future. For example, the delayed response in connecting my temporary…

I have been in contact with the directors and they have helped a little. Its hard to undo some of these things as I dont see them demolishing the house…

Small update- Had the house for nearly 4 weeks now and am still trying to get them to fix the data cables as I lost my dial tone when they…

TiV, I would put the tap in the pantry under the lower shelf.

Correct. I put mine inside my butlers pantry and will run the hose through the wall.

Some barn door fridges actually need to stick out of the void to be able to open all the way.

Ya, usually 10mm plaster plus 10mm skirt each side. The extra 10mm is their tolerance.

1002-50= 952. Should fit.

Generator hire if no power is provisional. Rock removal if they dig up rock is provisional.

It means they are allowing for things you may not need to pay. Surprisingly we were given provisional costs back at the end of the build. When it comes to…

As for advice, are you having twin 600mm ovens or one 900mm?
If twin, be sure your there when they install as they won't out them at same height. I was…

No appliances until closer to your move in date which you arrange with the builder. Heater gets commissioned once hot water unit is on and gas meter hooked up along…

They redug the external conduit as it was not to NBN standards. They also had to pull a string through the internal conduit for the optic cable to be pulled…

Yes I had an independent inspector which helped a lot. The only place where it didn't help was when the standards were met but the quality if workmanship was rubbish.…

No, they say its "Nominal Size"...
As for the quality, it made me wonder why they do not build niches into display homes when I was trying to find one to…

I wouldn't like to see their attempt at the grate if they can't get a simple shower niche right.

I have consulted a lawyer and have everything documented and a case has been built. I posted this thread to show others what I got for my money from them.

Thank you for your thoughts. This house cost $1015/sq. m and thats not including flooring.

Pics should still be in here or on the link I have provided a few posts back. Don't assume anything and always double check things are done to standards. Even…

Thanks Pixi. I appreciate your thoughts on this. I'm very persistent so have pushed and pushed to get things fixed. It scares me how many other people they try this…

Well we have had ownership of the house for 2 weeks now and am finding more problems. For example, we paid extra for the NBN provision. Telstra comes out to…

I have been in constant communication with many of the managers from there. They are agreeable that there is plenty of room for improvement. I just wanted to give people…

Emz, ould you please post a pic of your niche in my thread for comparison?

Here's some light reading for you.
Best money I spent was on Darbecca Independent inspector. Tell your site…
