Anyone who has come to fixing stage and have their front entry door installed, can you please post the height of the actual handle please? Mine is at 1350mm which…

Hey guys,
I'm up to fixing stage now and these are some of the things that have gone wrong:
- Bridge to ceasarstone on kitchen benchtop, when there shouldn't be any
- Tiles…

My client liaison's communication is always delayed as well. I also wish she sent an e-mail even there have been no updates or progress on the site, and there's definitely…

Hi jaslee,
can't do nothing about that unfortunately. I too wanted to avoid the fee of having put them put in again, but I am afraid it will be impossible to…

Hi Donavansdaily, I just saw the damage caused by the leaks. EEEeeeeks! I reall do feel for you. Like you, when I see things like that, I ask myself how…

Garden bed looking great Donovansdaily! that's probably why people get angry when trees that have been there for ages/take years to grow and then get removed! Didn't know you could…

Hey guys,
For those who have moved in already, how did you get contact details of your neighbours to discuss costs of fencing?
Cheers

hey guys, not sure if any of you have had some of the stages of their build inspected, but I've got the following inspected so far:
-pre slab
-pour
-frame
-pre-plaster
What I wanted to…

Love your blog Rohanna! Very well laid out with some good tips! I'm building the OSLO 29 on a 14mx32m. Backyard is a bit small, about 4m, but bigger house…

Hey guys,
Just a quick question for those who had gone through the whole build process already. I'm having pre-pour, slab/frame and pre-plaster inspections done by Darbecca. What I wanted to…

@Geeman, I couldn't put it in a better way as Baneshouse. With settlement being 12 months away, I do not think it is a good idea to sign the PWC.…

dont think the burnt car should be much of a concern personally. it looks like that car was stolen from somewhere else and dumped there due to the inactivity in…

All of my deposits have been done via EFT/direct deposit. I don't think paying by Credit card will be an issue unless you go above your limit where you will…

Hi TheFarmers,
I think you actually nailed it on that point. When push comes to shove, and don't get what you're supposed to get, I guess that's our only option. So…

Hi everyone,
Thanks for your replies. I went over the contract again and I agree with most of you here in that the 'building works' aren't complete, which would give the…

Thanks for all the replies guys. I'm not sure what's wrong with my PM settings. Tried looking everywhere but couldn't find where to activate it. I might have another go…

Hi digitalnash, sorry to hear about your misfortunes with the builders. seems to be always them, isn't it? recently signed HIA with Boutique and drafting team now says sound batts…

hey guys, hope building is going fine for all of you. i'm at finance stage after signing HIA contract and valuation has come 35k under! …

omg i feel your pain the farmers but I think this would be more due to the contractors? i dont know whether the claim i am about to make…

I agree a lot with the view that errors are bound to happen, irrespective of how much you have paid. we are dealing with humans afterall, and mistake…

Thanks for the replies guys @JP79, thejamtart, donovansdaily. Wow, I hope I won't have to go through this as well, like you Donovansdaily. Essay writing was one of the things…

Oh Donaldouk. I'm also planning to upgrade to Brivis 6 star sp23in i think the model is. 4 zones. been quoted about $2300 I think

Thanks Donaldouk. You are right, nothing can be done. As one of the members mentioned on this thread previously, PWC is a dangerous doc. Once signed, no structural items can…

Hey guys,
Needing some advice atm. I'm having my colour appointment in about a week time, and thought that contract variations were still allowed. Apparently from what i have…

Well done kap82!
I contacted the wyndham council earlier and my request for info in relation to the removal of bushfire zone has been passed on to Paul Rickard from the…

Hi Nasher,
I feel your pain. I was looking at Simonds the other day for their 29 sq homes and almost similar amount of upgrades, and I could tell that Boutique's…

Wow. That's hell of a lot jamtart. I guess lucky to those who have their site costs below 10,000. Apparently land at Harpley is class P (problematic).

Hey guys,
Building with Boutique in Harpley Estate. Do you guys find fixed costs of $20,000 a bit excessive?
I'm building the Oslo 29 and can't wait for it to happen already.…

Hope the issue gets rectified quickly/properly Tasminn. My site costs with Boutique costs $20,000 as well! I think this is a little bit excessive to…

Hi Tasminn
Block is 448 meter sq. Paid 194k. Fixed site costs on PWC with Boutique currently costs about 15k approx. According to the sales representative…
