Luke the DAPT foreman is awesome, he's building our front fence for…

Hi mate, yes I would recommend them.
There are issues with every build, ours were minor and they brought innovation and a willingness to help us understand what was possible…

Parrotfish - you are right it is very hard to find info, that's why I started this thread!
Darwin builders pretty much run on word of mouth I think.

We have PC on monday so it's pretty…

Grrr I can only edit one post a day apparently :/ frustrating!

Like I said, add another 50k to that by the time your totally finished. Compare that to your established price.

Thanks guys I'll host them a different way and fix it tomorrow
