When it comes time to pay your progress payments you fill in the westpac form and send it with your invoice. You can only fax or send through post to…

Any tips for Practical Completion Inspection? We have ours booked in for tomorrow!

11 days after being placed on construction list..... we had been pegged and toilet delivered. Next day security fence was put up. Site was cut 3 days later.

I changed all robes to sliding doors, even increased size of one robe. Mine worked out to be $175 per door. 6 doors x $175 = $1050. This is with…

I have had 3 supervisors . One for slab, next one for external work until roof completion, then final one for internals to handover.

Slab next?

Best of luck,…

Frames are so exciting, especially when the roof goes on. Have you been in yet? Don't the rooms feel small?
I love your retaining wall. I really regret that I didn't…
