I went with Dollar curtains in oakleigh for timber plantation shutters, roller blinds and sheer curtains. Will upload photos once they are installed.

Thanks Blacktea2sugars. When you get a chance can you please upload a photo of your window? So I should ask them to caulk…

For the sliding doors, they have applied caulking from inside on all 4 sides. And for the top of the windows. Some of the windows in bathrooms have all 4…

Only the top part is caulked from inside the house. The below and sides are not caulked. Should all 4 sides be caulked? I can see gaps in the bottom…

When you say caulking, do you mean all 4 sides of the window? And outside the building or from inside the house? I could see only the top part being…

Nope. Nothing has been applied except the rendering. I found out the hard way. There is a small gap between the window frame and inside wall on one of our…

I went with ‘In the swim’, the same pool builder as Frank’s house. Yes I recommend them.

That’s what I thought about saving on the engineering cover. Alas, due to failed dig earlier and redesign/re-engineer the cost of failed dig was the same as the cost saved.…

We have moved in last Sunday. And the first thing to get done was our swimming pool. Prior to our house build we had water and cave ins and couldn’t…

I had asked our alfresco floor to be raised so that it is flush when paving tiles are laid. I was thinking you could go with only decking board if…

Can’t you just lay the planks on the alfresco concrete like tiles?

Folks! We have the keys! Got it last Friday. Few issues weren’t fixed but will be fixed this week and next provided we get out of this lock down. Stay…

Looking fabulous!

Did my pci yesterday. Took 3hrs 😂. Few issues Darbecca had missed was picked up. Hoping for next Friday handover. Uploading photos with the floor board now visible. People have…

That’s great news. I did my PCI yesterday after Darbecca had done theirs. Few issues which needs fixing and hopefully I will be getting the keys next Friday for us.

It’s not worth the headache I’ll tell you. The builder needs to take into account the recessed height and make sure the sliding doors are customised. For us, they did…

Scheduled 27th for Darbecca’s final inspection. Few updated photos.

Yes it is primordia. We are going for dark colour floor and it is from Made By Storey and the colour is truffle. The image is in my first post.

I have gone with Daikin with 8zone and wifi adapter. Single system.

Your backyard looks great! Did you go with one single contractor for all of your landscape works or sub contract individually?

We didn’t and it’s funny that TA can make any variations they please but don’t compensate ‘us’. The only way out is to triple check everything before signing on the…

Wow! House is looking great and coming along well. Envy your 3m ceiling 😀. Thanks for the styling app. Will look into that. We are also ordering new furniture and…

Peter is a landscape designer but he wouldn’t execute the project. We got our draft design from him and now in the process of looking for a landscaper to execute…

Can anyone recommend a good landscaper you have engaged in past or going to engage in future? Thanks.

Nest needs a power cable and the others are battery operated. Rather get data cable and get a good system like Hikvision or Dahua. I agree the integration with google…

Yes, will have one near the garage in black to blend in with the shadowclad and the rest will be in white. Hope you have provisioned cables for them or…
