Just to add to this we have been in our new home now in Perth for 12 months. It is 320m2 total, 230m2 living, normal WA construction colourbond roof but…

Yours would be the same as ours as we were through Momu as well, in the end I took of the grill, pulled down the fan removed the screws and…

Just to close off an old thread of mine here is it now ten months after we moved in. Still absolutely thrilled with our new home. Not so thrilled about…

We have crushed recycled brick. Works well.

We have ceiling batts as well R4 as required by the standards. I also have cavity barrier insulation on west facing walls.

I can't comment on the R value specifics but what I can say that in our new build in Perth that installing anticon and 6mm glass required due to BAL19…

There is no way that complies with any standard whether it's covered or not. I would be engaging a building inspector asap.

I doubt you will be allowed to build anything in the powerline corridor.

Sorry I am at work and wont be home until next week. I have been searching for it online but no luck. What I did was take a photo of…

I replaced one last week. Was in the middle of alfresco and was about to be concreted. I went to Tradelink and they have a small version with a stainless…

As an electrician I really have only ever installed switches in the vertical position. That is in WA and Tasmania. But it is a personal preference I presume.

Centre power point can come right down. Zone extends 150mm to each side of sinks with capacity less than 45 litres and 400mm above.

Was originally 291k, we upgraded the kitchen bench top to level 3 stone which added 7k. There is no way we would have got it for that now, that was…

Here is a copy of the Plan for those interested.

Just an update on an old post, well its nearly finished and it has been a smooth process so far and at a good price. These photos are a few…

Our new build has 2 walk in showers, we pulled the openings back from original 1000mm to one is 750mm and the other is 790mm and they are fine.

Holy crap. That is scarry stuff.

Our build is at lockup in W.A and BAL 19. 340m2 total area and added 7.5k to build. 5mm toughened glass all around. Full anticon to roof. Steel fly screens.…

I think you'll find that most roofs are pitched at 22.5 degrees siheight is determined by width and height of walls.

Maths. !!

I have bought the different tradies a carton of beer here and there. But I rarely see or hear from the site supervisor. I would rather reward the guys performing…

We got 3 quotes, you will get a feel where the price should be pretty quickly. 2 of ours were within 10k of each other.

We had direct stuck engineered flooring in blackbutt, and while it always looked beautiful we found you had to be carefull as it marked easily. Even moving out the fridge…

If the wall is gyprock then its where they put the steel external trim on then build up the plaster to form the corner.

Same here, we have opted for 2 instantaneous gas water heaters in our build as our last house you had to wait forever and wasted so much water waiting for…

Consider the placement of the door frames in the walls. We have a feature wall in our entry and would have liked to cover it with a nice timber feature…

Yes I can see it.
I am interested to see as we have just finished our bricklaying in Perth as well.

Cant view any of the photos??
