Hi Brainstrust,
I had a go at creating my own irrigation plan, keen to get some feedback.
It will be run from one 750-800W pump, off 2* 5000L rain tanks.
Each…

We spent close to 2 years in a process with TA. It was horrible..... we got to tender, and the first cut was 50% over our budget which "they care…

thanks again Simeon,
I took advantage of this, and got the consultant session done. Working with our builder now to be able to supply lights, 20% off is nice!

Hey Lighthouse,
They build amazing homes, I think 1.5m would be their STARTING price. It was around 1.1M before covid hit. You'd get a very nice, but smaller house for that.…

i am. In Bayside

iamcurious we're building 47.95 - decent spec. PM me if you want details.

for a full design and build? or just a builder?

How good is Simeon?! Always taking time to help others out! Wish we were building in NSW and could work together.
Thanks for all that you do!

Thanks Alex,
Definitely looking at edge only.
My research tells me in screed is used a lot when the polished concrete finish you want is expensive, i.e. the cement and aggregate,…

Hey alex,
Keen to understand your comment about inslab vs inscreed. I understand there are differences, but haven't seen anyone suggest that it would impact the actual heat output?
Our builder wants…

I'm in a similar boat, keen to get answers from someone? anyone?

hi bimbob. I know this is an old post, but im deciding whether or not to use slab insulation for a home with…

we've been through the same journey, don't want to rely on a gas connection, and don't think the electric ones are any good.
We've settled on Bio Flame, the gas…

Thanks Patrik, we did look at this system, but understand it to be quite expensive. Any idea what this would cost?
They just keep saying it's a lot more labour and…

Hey Kenny,
Would love to hear how you go in a couple of weeks. Good luck!
We will opt to take our chances unless it's a very bad experience for you!

Hi Brains Trust,
We are building our home, and we've had to place our HWS (Heat Pump) on one side of the house, and the ensuite on the complete other…

Hey Darren,
What ecosystem do you specialise in?
Simeon - We're looking at Fibaro too

Nice, we are waiting for the engineer spec, before tendering out to a few local providers 🙏

Nice. We only need 6-8 😂

I need screws to reenforce an adjacent wall. Called a couple of providers, they said $800 per screw, supplied, delivered and installed.

awesome looking house!
Love the shadowline cornices, awesome work!
Which smarthome ecosystem did you use?

thanks all!

amazing, thanks!

Thanks Simeon - Best case we can shave the hebel, otherwise have hebel and foam just for the curve.
I guess we need to look at the supporting structure for…

Hi Simeon - there is a large curve in the front, and then a minor one in the back.

No, it's a custom build

Do you know the order of magnitude re: extra cost of hebel vs foam?
We have a curve in our facade which we believe will require the foam, can you…

We are in the same position, not at a stage where we have costs yet. Our plans have "CHARGED OR MECHANICAL PUMP SYSTEM IS REQUIRED DUE TO NEGATIVE FALL TO…
