We haven't moved in yet as we're currently concreting and decking, but so far there have only been a few things that escaped our attention during PCI, and my SS…

Thought I'd drop in here, we got our keys last week-ish after building for 16 weeks 5 days.
Our experience with PD was brilliant. Sure things went awry every now and…

Can you take the skirting off when you move in, not ideal but I can't see how they're going to change the size of the space.
Are you able to return…

Oh no 
I think I'd be beside myself. Is it the brick shortage (and brickie shortage apparently)? Our SS was really pleased about getting a…

We had site scrape for our house in July, I spoke to our SS today and we're up to painting. Cabinetry is in, bricks have been cleaned. Thinks painting should…
Mimi79 posted:Shower water pressure really low :(
I think it is to do with reducing water usage. I'm pretty sure all new shower heads are on 'low flow' which is a bugger. I love my stinging showers.

Just to update, I was talking to a friend who does the plumbing for one of the big builders and he said if we get the number of the plumbers,…

We managed to hang a very ornate and very heavy mirror just off two heavy duty hooks.
Didn't help my anxiety levels, I was petrified it was going to fall on…

Thanks for all your advice guys. I've definitely made some notes for after handover (soooo long away lol). We have a plumber friend who we might ask very nicely to…
Mimi79 posted:Electrical Quote Excessive??
It's probably not too far in excess of what I would expect, but like already suggested, get some more quotes (keeping in mind that cheaper isn't always better)

Did they say originally they would seal it? My dad and brother are painters and they made sure I asked PD what the 'standard' two coats included (they were just…
Mimi79 posted:Why are you building/renovating/moving?
We are building because our house (although an okay size) just wasn't set up with a biggish family in mind. I wanted more open plan. Crappy neighbours gave us the…

Do you have a picture of the shade you thought the tiles would resemble?
It looks a bit mission brown in those photos...

Letterbox, vegie/flower planter, edging for gardens, door stops lol

I can't imagine having carpets up in FNQ. Granted I've only been there once, but I think definitely concrete or tiling all the way through is the way to go.
