Thanks Bek, just out of curiosity did you have an issue with the towel rack in the bathroom not being the right size for the wall space ?. We're being…

Hi Waynee,
We only had the one report done by Tyrells - they said in the beginning that if we only planned on having one report then the most critical one…

Hi Dave, your probably right - I thought he said something about the rangehood, anyway whatever it is it wasn't on the plan and we sure didn't expect they'd fit…

Hi Waynee,
We had Tyrells do an inspection at the frame stage and they only found a few small things, no show-stoppers though so we figured we probably wouldn't have a…

Got an update from our SS this afternoon - we're about a week away from getting the keys, all that is left is the driveway paving and letterbox outside and…

Hi Waynee,
Our slab was poured early March, and we should get the keys the last week of June, so less than 4 months all up.
It has been pretty quick but…

A fair amount of progress this week...carpet laid yesterday, wardrobes fitted out, all sinks/basins/shower and bath fittings are in.
Also we have the electricity connected..... …

We're in the home straight now (pardon the pun). All indications are that we'll have hand over either the last week of June or first week of July. From what…

Hi Brad,
Yes, We're interested in your services - will send you a PM

Yes, it was a good turn-out. Whether that gets reflected in the report back to Moorebank Recyclers is debateable. I'm pretty sure the whole exercise is just to satisfy the…

My take on the situation.
I just can't see LCC giving consent as the local opposition will be considerable given that there is now a far greater potential impact on neighbouring…

Would be interested to find out if Moorebank Recyclers Pty Litd has a common ownership or shareholding with Benedict. It seems a huge coincidence that a complete new entity…

that's a good tip shaymansyd, I just fired off an email to Di Lorenzo:
Just wanted to let you know that our house construction is well advanced - we anticipate having…

One thing we have found is that we were supposed to get an extra wall stud in the living room and bedrooms to wall mount plasma/ lcd screens along with…

Thanks Dave, unfortunately I don't have much experience in the house building caper to be able to spot a problem unless it's something really obvious so will have to rely…

It's been a while since we updated where we are with our construction - the brickwork was finished last week and the roof tiles practically finished this week - I…

oops, was reminded by the better half that all of our bricks are at the back of our block, I hadn't been down there to check for myself but found…

Yeah Dave, most of the bricks are at the back of the block, some are out the front so I'm guessing they're not far away from being laid.

So it looks like the willy-nilly siting of driveway aprons is more than just a one-off communication breakdown....
I'd be…

You can count us in on the petition Bek. I've pretty well figured out that the developers dodge anything that could conceivably cost them money whether they are at fault…

We sent a photo of the timber frames to our site supervisor this arvo, he phoned back to say it won't be a problem and the timber will be fine…

Yeah Dave, I'm surprised they needed a drop edge as your block, like ours, looked dead flat. We didn't need one apparently.
It looks like they took a bit off the…

No rocks Dave, would have been surprised if they had hit any. Saw your scrape and driveway rubble this morning - I reckon you'll see the formwork done next week…

You'd have to think they'd be well under 350sqm...wonder what standard 450 sqms are going for ?

Thanks Waynee

Can any of you guys recommend a building inspector that you may have engaged during your project ?, just want to explore options for inspections at the various stages…

I get the impression that although GF have rules in place some of them can be challenged and you end up with what you want. An example being that they…

We ended up going with another newly released brick from Boral "Axinite", which was added to the range with Fossil.....we were tossing up between the two, they are very similar…

I reckon there's a good chance that you'll get a start inside the 20 days, I think they pad that out so they don't get pestered if they give a…

well, well , well .....work started on our site today, holes for foundations being dug, the wife was down there and saw the site supervisor and he said they'd have…
