yeah the reports read like the sky is falling and often lead to builder/client friction. Glad you spoke to the inspector and a family member that could put it into…

Our home and separate garages in North Ryde were just knocked down last week by ECO. We are very happy with the work they did. We had asbestos…

Had our practical completion inspection today. They are still finalising a few things, such as the cabinetry in the kitchen and they have to replace the front door.




Get the keys…

They've finished all the external work upstairs now.
Our construction update from the SS is that insulation will be installed after the Easter break, with internal plastering to commence the week…

Totally agree, it’s not only the ceiling height also doors and windows, if you go for 2740mm ceiling, your doors need to be 2350mm to make it nice, it’s covered…

Hi Rayavo
going back and forth between builders i realized Masterton and Metricon tend to be cheaper compared to others initially, they might still be cheap if you pick the standard…

Thanks. Lots of things happening since the council approval 2 weeks back. We have bank letter ready, construction certificate ready, pool peg out starts this week! Exciting times ahead!

You will also need to include any upgrade cost for the interior such as flooring, electrical, kitchen, bathroom accessories, aircon etc and definitely basix. I say another $200k on top…

Thanks so much! I assumed site supervisor would check things. But we have an independent company who will come and check thing prelining stage.
I will wait till we do…

For downlights make sure you use a warm white throughout the house to give it a homely feel. We aren't living in a factory. 3000k is perfect.
Cheaper ones will distort…

Hmm, I’ll try to remember!
-3rd garage
-timber staircase
-soundproofed study with solid door (it’s going to be my music studio)
-extended alfresco
-door on living area and pocket doors to media room

Just under $600k

Good choice between these two builders. I know the management of both and they are all nice people for what that is worth.
I personally think Wisdom are building some really…

An update from me - our home is nearly completed, hopefully we will have handover next week. It is stunning and worth the wait. The build progressed with vary few…
