Defdaz, Rizmo I understand where you are coming from. I was fully expecting screw ups before we signed up... but that's just me. There have been screw…

It happened before cut for us. I reckon the site peg tells the machine operator where to dig. After cut/fill comes "set-out" which is probably what you are…

Hi Manderinne,
Who did that retaining wall in your photos?

Same here... TV antenna, booster, splitter and 2 points were included. I get the feeling that a lot of things depend on your region. When you paid your initial…

Perhaps the chandelier my electricians were talking about spooked them. Can you quiz your SS whether the Skillion roof has anything to do with it. I'd be interested to…

.
I just remembered.
You're getting a skillion roof. For a regular hip roof they can crawl through the roof space. That's why they'll do it for us.

It must be their electrician in your area. We have pendant lights in our entry void. Met with the electricians on site yesterday. They said they stuck a massive 50kg…

It's got me down as well...
Every drawing they came up with has had a screw up. They denied THREE times that there was…

I have no experience of what coral does as far as a handover inspections. From what I've read about other builders, how thorough they are and how you are…

Did not think of that... Sound's pretty cool. Like a glass splashback in the kitchen they'd have to cut a hole in the glass... maybe costly if they…

I've come to a realise that a lot of people just muddle through things.
We added a shower. When the contract plans came through I spotted that the hole for…

Someone asked this question in this thread earlier.
We were told by our CSO that once they have everything they require, the site start needs to be within 21 days. (I'm…

Yep... we will pay $750 too.

Doesn't seem that anyone has answered you yet.

The SS met with us on the morning of the start date and made us me sign a couple of things on his ipad. Seemed to be the same…

Our Boral bricks got delivered on Friday... They are way lighter than all the samples we've looked at. I can see that it's the right colour, but it's like…

Mellywill, Finnsmama
Have your builds gone over the contract time? I'm not quite sure from your posts. I'm hoping ours won't... hip pocket has already taken enough damage and…

A Bahama 50 will be massive. Is it a detached granny flat? Is Coral building it?
We are building a 37

Finnsmamma. Did your SS file a police report about the stolen windows?

Hi Mellywill,
House is gone, waiting for them to finish clearing the block. They left a small amount of concrete on the site. I can have it done myself…

It's done. Contract signed. Deposit paid. Any cold feet will be super costly.
I'm recalling the roller coaster scene from Parenthood.

Finnsmama,
Your experience is re-assuring. Fixing mistakes through a variation request is not the kind of up front transparency I would hope to have.
Coral's motto... is "built on trust".…

Finnsmamma. We haven't signed the contract yet. Once we do, they can charge me money to fix their mistakes.

Hi,
I hope you guys can lend me the wisdom of your experience.
Did you have to pay for the variation required to rectify their mistakes in the final tender letter/specifications/contract drawings?
Coral…

Hello everyone,
We are knocking down a semi-modern house at Salisbury (QLD) and are building a double story house in it's place. Demolition approval was given last week and the…
