I have asked the admin to forward an email to Victorian Construction Manager but didn't get any response. I don't think I will receive positive response if any.

Actually I did use the same company as your guys for frame and pre-plaster inspections but the experience was not very good. After sending you the report, they wouldn't reply…

We are having an issue with MV at the moment. All our ground floor windows(except facade windows) have a big gap with the lintel above. So a piece of metal…

It was a premature "New Home Presentation". Very disappointed because house is still in complete. Cleaners were on site trying to tidy up. Painters were on site doing external…

Congratulations! You are almost there! Hopefully everything will go smoothly.

Hi TTVA,
Seems your hand over is in few weeks. Must be very excited now!
Our brick work started yesterday and plaster will be next week.
What do you mean "both sliding doors…

We were offered two upgrade packages. It's sort of Yes or No question. You can't take out or add anything to the package. If you want to change, you have…

Hi TTVA,
Hope all your issues have been fixed and the build is going smoothly.
Our windows were delivered two days ago. I took a photo of one picture window. Is it…

Most likely your house will be finished in the first half of the year and you can move in before Winter. That's great!

Hi VVTA,
Glad to know your construction is going well. Seems you will be able to move in maybe in few months. Good luck!
We signed the contract before demolition. We…

Hi TTVA,
Haven't seen your updates for a while. Hope your construction is going smoothly. We just demolished the house last week. Really slow process!!
Regarding the independent inspection, did you use…

You pay for something which will be their property at the end. How good is that! You even can't say no!!!

Hi TTVA,
Have you installed the underground electricity pit? If yes,how much? I got a quote from United Energy for more than $2700. The pit is within 10 metres from the…

I suspected they quoted the wrong price. I saw someone on the forum who was building Amalfi mentioned he was charged about $5k to get 2.5m extra. I think that's…

How much did they charge you? Mine is $5.5k. I was told the garage would be about 2.5m wider when I asked for upgrade.

Hi TTVA,
When Vic wide demolished your house, did they arrange the service (gas, elec, etc) abolishment for you or you have to do it by yourself?
Another question. Did you…

They don't have enough resource to cope with their current promotion. My tender is booked more than 5 weeks after the colour selection.

Seems your site start is not far away!! I am still waiting. Our design briefing is in 2 weeks.

Hi VVTA,
We have at least one thing in common -- the boss made the final decision.
Actually there is another one. I asked my consultant…

Hi TTVA,
The old house we bought will be settled in the midde of October so I guess our site start may be in next year because of the demolition of…

Hi ttva, how is your ducted heating upgrade going? Just can't understand if they say no to the upgrade.
Seems every one is waiting. You are waiting for your demolition work…

We might say NO to those downlights cos they are so expensive. I can't justify how they charge more than $200 for one LED light installed. They make more money…

TTVA, seems your process is going smoothly even not perfectly. We just signed our provisional quote and paid the second deposit.
What do you mean "they dont do ducted heating"?…

They didn't tell us that we could use their "independent" building inspector. We are encouraged to use our own.

Very good suggestion. Acutally when I was reading the master plan last night, I was thinking how to access the space under the stairs. I have asked for the garage…

Yes, totally agree. The plastered wall will definitely down grade the design. So the stainless steel rod one is the only option when you have to struggle between your budget…

Hi TTVA,
Regarding the stairs, did you go with the standard plastered wall balustrading with capping to top? A quote for glass one is $10K!!! The stainless steel rod one is…

Thanks for your suggestion. We will be busy for the next few weeks.

Hi TTVA,
Thanks. We want to increase FF as well as we won't be able to change the ceiling height in the future. How much is that for both floors?
Cheers.

Hi TTVA,
I am looking at the Emporio ER432 but haven't made the decision. You mentioned stone bench upgrade to 40mm in your blog on spotblog. Is $1500 for all or…
