Hi dreamh0me,
Can concur with mikegrg1 that this is the time to ask for discounts or to have certain things added/changed without charge. I would suggest you also have a…

Don't necessarily want to be sarcastic (we should enter construction stage in about 3 weeks time), but when I check our payment schedule, about 2/3 of the full cost has…

Hi Miffy,

Hi v_power,
I believe you underestimate the cost of architects...If you would do a google search for architect price guide, you will notice that they will charge between 8 and 15…

Hi Jahangir,
Do they also allow you to choose new cabinet colours in case you need to choose a new bench top colour ?

Soundproofing or not between floors

Thanks everyone for your reply. Flooring upstairs is carpet. We will go ahead and ask for sound batts to be installed above the common living areas.

Hi,
We are currently trying to decide whether soundproofing is worth it for a 2 level house. Question is whether some of you decided against it, and afterwards regretted the…

Hi homeofjns,
Did your independent inspector pick issues up that weren't picked up by Tyrell's ?

Hi abdm14,

Hi Cremorne35,
Not something I would like to happen. Have you checked with them whether they could keep the number of treads as original and increase the height between the…

We also had our alfresco stepdown reduced to 86mm (same level as garage). We also have changed to recessed sliding doors, which you may want to consider. As…

Hi aas,
