Hi guys,
Need some urgent advice regarding brick work. I went around the house today with a fine tooth comb and noticed our bricks are not straight at all! and now…

Hi guys,
Here is information regarding wiring on the NBNCo website.

We are currently building with Henley (Lexington 993 Q1) and they do have some minor issues (when I say minor I mean scratches on things) but SS has been fantastic…

Hi guys,
Quick question. We are getting brickwork over the garage doors but are scratching our heads where the steel lintel will go as we have a big timber beam across…

Hi guys, thanks for the comments, I'm just filling in for Ruby. Here's an update to the saga.
We have met with the builder and have settled on moving the garage…

Technically you can run Cat5e which can do 1000Mb/s but generally to about 50 metres or so. The difference in cost between Cat5e and Cat6 cable is minimal these days.
Also…

Either way your a winner. You get telstra velocity for now and get nbn fibre when it comes around!

Biggest difference between telstra velocity and NBN is that telstra velocity only has one provider (bigpond) while NBN will wholesale to all providers. Telstra, optus, iprimus, iinet, internode etc.
The other…

I would be very surprised if this is fixable in anyway. Is the rest of the slab in similar condition? there might have been something wrong with the concrete. eg…

Should note that Telstra Velocity is NOT NBN FTTH. NBN rollout schedule is available http://www.nbnco.com.au

These are the sorts of issues the NBN will solve. Its crazy to think in a 1st world country people in new estates cannot get broadband!!

Similar thing with h3nl3y.
We looked at the lexington Q1 for $245000 - $30000 (discount) = $215000
Couple months later they put up there base price to $248900 - $30000 = $218900
Now…

Hi Ger1322,
We are building in Taylors Hill - West of Melb. We have chosen to do fixed site costs which ended up being 15k. The soil test came back and…

Hi guys,
Me and my partner are also going to be building with henley. We going to be building a Lexington Q1 with a fair bit of extras.
Check out my partners…

Get a independent inspector ASAP. Once you get a written report hand it to the builder and refuse to pay unless its fixed properly. That looks bad. If the slab…

Unless your willing to live with those issues, refuse to pay. This is the final payment then I would totally refuse to pay until all issues are fixed.

Got 4k off
I told them that builder x is giving me 6k of freebies and they came to the party with 4k.
Never had 6k…

Push them its possible. Bluff your way. Say that builder x is offering you this and this for free what can you do ??
I was successful

Hi, Im at stage 52.
I have spoken to the solicitor and basically i have been reading it wrong. Im allowed to building anything ABOVE 12 degrees roof pitch.
There is plenty…

I should add that this home is 16.4 meters wide and our block is 19 meters wide

fair points but reason we brought a block in taylors hill is for the fact that we have family in the area and would like to stick close by to…

Thanks for the reply.
So basically we have no chance of building a home like this?

After some advice. We love american style homes and would love to build one of these.
