Bleakly- It's also the same story for us. We got a list before Christmas of anticipated dates for things to be done. We still have no showerscreens, half a bathroom…

Redwynne - Our site was excavated on the 1st of July which was over the 20 day period for Masterton to start on site.
I can't seem to work out how…

Thanks for your reply Villinaeliters - I would have preferred no architraves too but our tiling job at where it meets the ceiling looks quite rough so I'd like to…

Bleakly and MGardz I feel your pain!
We believe our contract is now up and we are heading into the $50 a day damages that is listed in our contract.…

MGardz- I'm sure they will try to push us to PCI before everything is finished but we won't be agreeing to PCI if before all the items are completed.
Joel89-…

Congrats JamisonMac. It's great that you guys made it before the Christmas shutdown.
MGardz and Bleaky- Hopefully D gets his act together with our place too. Although after speaking to…

Joel89 if you don't get them to change back to stairs, I would be demanding a refund for the cost of the stairs. The stairs were an added cost to…

JamisonMac your bathroom looks great. Did you change the main bathroom vanity to have draws? Ours doesn't have any.

I was thinking the same thing MGardz
Surely there would be a handover period too between R and the new supervisor - I wonder if there will be any added delays…

I'm not sure. All R said was that we were getting a new SS for our area. Maybe it's just Jordan Springs but he covers Penrith.

I just called him this afternoon to ask about organising a check measure for our shutters.
He said we have to talk to the new supervisor starting Monday. JamisonMac- thanks for…

So apparently there is going to be a new SS replacing R on Monday for the Penrith area. This should be interesting...

Redwynne- We are building in Jordan Springs and I'm pretty sure 89Joel and Jamison Mac are our neighbours.
89joel and Jamison Mac- Can I ask have Masterton still got time…

I have to say I am quickly losing patience with Masterton. I've been advised we are still two weeks off lockup and we will not be finished by Christmas. Our…

Thanks Spikes Place and MGardz for the info. I think we may be hit with a big variation fee if we opt to change now though.
On a brighter note, our…

MGardz- I've had a look at your house blog and was wondering how expensive it was to upgrade your benchtops to cloudy bay if that's ok? I'm liking it a…

The round aircon vents were standard at our appointment at Warwick farm and it was an upgrade to change to the square vents.

Mgardz, we received the same letter from the air con company. I haven't signed it yet though...
We are finally seeing some progress! We had our piers done today. Hoping the…

Thanks ggml. I hope you are right for my sake!

MGardz - that sucks! I would ask them for a breakdown of the costs or get them to explain how they come to the figure they are trying to charge…

Hi all,
What has everyone's experience been with soil removal from your site? Were you charged by Masterton for soil removal? If so, at what point did you find out how…

Villinaeliters, did Masterton claim those days as rain delays on your contract?

Went for a drive to my block this afternoon expecting some progress but to no avail. We still only have a fence and toilet after 24 business days.
Decided I would…

Hi Ggml,
The thing that is frustrating is that we have had our fence up for over two weeks now and there are other masterton builds right next to us that…

Hi all,
It has been a while since I've posted on here. We have just reached the end of our 20 day period and the only progress we have had is…

Hi all,
I received an email today from Energy Connections NSW. The email is regarding connecting our site up to electricity and gas. I vaguely remember someone saying that you…

GillyM, your kitchen looks great. Love the colour! We are torn between the colour you have and just a plain white glass splashback...we are having grey benchtops and White cabinets.

Oh really Brahma Bull! Who are you building with? We were only credited $165 but still better than nothing.
We did see in IKEA today (yes we bravely managed the crowds)…

Has anyone had first hand experience with glass splashbacks in the kitchen? If so, could you please recommend companies?
We deleted the tiling for our kitchen splashback in our tender…

Upon reading everyone else's comments regarding Ark we have started to look elsewhere. We got a quote today from Nepean Blinds and Doors and their plantation shutters came back $200…
