Does anyone have the address of dons tiles in Canberra, meant to be there tomorrow and no address supplied,
No reference anywhere on the Internet to their canberra store

Has anyone had M claim rain delay when they're already past contracted completion date?

How wide is everyone's shower opening? Just looking at our plans again and I estimate its about 60cm not allowing for the door either

M must really want our house done. We had workers on site for over 12 hours yesterday

I swear we have more scaffolding than a lot of commercial buildings, but last week we had about 6-12 workers on site each day :)

Everything in my windows just says single glaze, no further details, doesn't even specify door etc

I thought it was standard too, apparently not - our plans don't say whether they're frosted or otherwise, where does it say frosted for other people?

Our colour selection has pretty half assed, our consultant was fired no long after we did it.
We were never asked about the window composition, just the frame colour

What type of glass has M put in everyone's bathrooms? Ours seems to be standard glass, not the frosted non-see through glass I was expecting

I rather do the inspection after bricks and roof tiles, before gyprocking. I was told by my private inspector to wait for that stage, as defects will show then, and…

So I'm expecting a new invoice this week for the frame stage. Going to ask for a site inspection before I pay, any advice what I should be looking for?

For the frames progress invoice yesterday, which I'll be happy to pay WHEN THE FRAME IS FINISHED.

Our issues have been similar - construction plans being based off earlier unapproved plans rather than what we signed off on... Seems to be an ongoing issue for M
Good news…

Stick with it - I think one of their strategies is to wear you down until you give up and just agree to it. Realistically no work requiring additional cost…

Had nothing for 17 weeks, and what has progressed, was very slow

We got a letter also.
So as an update, we're now 23 weeks into our build and I estimate we are at where we should have been on week 3 of…

concur with the getting masterton to do the full height tiling
there's a LOT more work putting tiles on the walls than there is on floors

Standard build contract of 26 weeks, they've claimed a week of rain delays, but we had about 17 weeks where nothing happened on site whatsoever

Unless masterton really pull their finger out, we're at a stage that not only will they not meet the contracted completion date, but we will have to move out of…
