Sorry forgot to mention I am in Victoria.

Hello,
The builder of my home recently went into liquidation. The home was completed just under a year ago and the builder never got around to fixing the defects. I will…

It makes sense though. I can’t see any other purpose for the pipes in that location and all the neighbours have covered theirs. But I want to be sure before…

All the best. I will be interested to know how it plays out.

Apparently if your builder sends you a request for an extension of time and you don't respond it will be hard to dispute later. Regarding the advice of withholding the…

Hello everyone,
My new build has two pipes sticking up at the front near the garden taps. My landscaper told be these pipes are only there to allow the builder/plumber to…

You will probably find most volume builders will charge you around $20-30k for site costs but that should be fixed. My builder was a smaller builder so I guess that…

Hi,
Site costs vary from builder to builder. My site was class p due to presence of trees like yours. Prior to putting a deposit with my builder he said he…

My floor in the kitchen, dining, etc will be a natural hickory engineered timber. My bathrooms will have cinder coloured stone look tiles. The walls will be painted in…

Thanks for the response. All my cabinetry is going to be the Polytec Black woodmatt (bottom right). The left two samples are actually YDL engineered stone, although the Calacutta Combo…

I'm having trouble getting developer approval due to my facade not having eaves, see the design below:
Do you think adding the eaves shown below will make my facade look better…

Thanks

Hi,
I recently went for my colour selection appointment and my preference for the kitchen was YDL Calacatta Combo for the benches and splashback and polytec black wenge for the cabinetry.…

Sorry to bump an old thread but do you have the dimension between the bottom of the vanity and the floor?

Best thing to do would be to call Boutique/Carlisle ask them directly. Volume builders tend to be quote expensive for site costs even on flat blocks. Would need to know…

I'm no expert on building but from my understanding E means existing surface level so your block would have 1.97m of fall East to West. I believe BW and B…

Guessing they've done that for drainage purposes?

Thanks for your help, the part that confused me is the finished surface is lower than the existing surface, would have thought the fill would have raised the height of…

First thing I would recommend show the section 32 to a conveyancer who can check for red flags and advise you. Deposit is usually $1000 and make the contract subject…

Might be able to answer my own question ES is the existing surface, FS is the finished surface. ES41.02 top left corner of the block, FS39.58 bottom right corner of…

Hello, I am looking at lot 727 on the engineering plan I have attached. I interpreted it as having around max 500mm fall however a builder has told me it…

Another thing you should do is speak to a few builders. Most will be able to tell you the site costs in the area you are looking at. They can…

Hello,
I have been looking at buying land and I am not sure how to find out the fall on the land. I can't see any survey map in section…

There are some reviews from Noble Homes on this forum you can do a search and they should come up.
