Oh sorry I am in Victoria. I have tried googling for a sample, but can't seem to find anything. I might have to wait until Monday to speak…

My builder has final issued a notice that the house is 'almost complete'. My bank is asking for a proper 'notice of completion' before booking an inspection or drawing…

Hey all,
I am building in Blackburn (Eastern Melbourne). We have our final inspection coming up, hopefully soon. We have had a lot of issues with the builder and…

We are in the position of building a new home,…

I am after some opinions on the meaning of the wording within in our contracted tender. Our issue is that our (second) builder has simply copied and pasted a…

-I have found it to be stone resistant, I haven't have any…

This was my argument to the council ... technically THEY stuffed up by allowing us an open balcony, but they stuffed up because the neighbours all pushed and pushed (new…

We have this exact issue with our neighbour - our balcony looks into their yard and spare bedroom windows.
The neighbour contacted council about it, and the council (quite forcibly) contacted…

-Do you have an ensuite, if so is the double vanity really needed?
-Who lives in the area, is it an area for…

Already been googling these. Didn't think of the roof trusses needing reinforcing, will have to ask hubby about it. Thank you again
