Had friend who built with New Generation and another with Celebrations. Both were happy but I believe the Celebrations build was quicker but they did have a lot of stuff…

I was considering building with them but changed our mid at the end as their designs didn't quite match what we wanted. They tried hard and seemed like a good…

I built after lots of consideration. My younger sister on the other hand went to the shops to buy her kids some new tracksuit pants or something and signed up…

Thanks for the heads up. I guess I've heard bad things for a lot of companies both big and small, now it's just getting harder

We are considering a Benson, are they that bad?

If it is true you can say whatever you want, it's only libel if you lie or make things up.

Thanks guys. It's Colorbond Monument.

Our builder has certainly applied the accelerator on our build as in the space of 2 weeks we have had our brickwork completed, the roof frame done and now a…

My SS said that we don't have a DPC and said that they don't need it as they spray a water proofing layer on the edges of the slab. Should…

I didn't have pre-approval before we paid our deposit, though our deposit was only $1000. We were pretty sure that we would get approval but didn't have our deposit (5%…

A washing line.

I always thought that the downpipes would be placed depending on the roof plumber and that they put them in place as required for maximum drainage. Saying that yours seems…

I changed a few things after prestart. My builder didn't even charge me a fee for this thankfully as there were a few changes here and there. I don't see…

Good progress is being made by the brickies. I met our SS yesterday and he was really nice, just started with Blueprint but gives us the added benefit of having…

I would also suspect that if you leave the wall as is and it is on your property then you will be effectively giving up ownership of the land itself…

Looks good, impressed with the use of the small space.

Whoohoo our brickies started today. Apparently there is a team of four and so they have done one side of the house. I'm very happy with their work so far.

We have to pay for our electricity during our build and I wouldn't be happy if someone was using our power meter. Thankfully we have no one building along our…

Currently twice a week as bridling started today. Thankfully we have already made friends with our neighbours and they email me to let us know when things are happening. I…

Unfortunately there has been some damage that I came across while on site today. I have emailed our CLO so hopefully they can get it fixed ASAP without too many…

The site is full of deliveries.
We got bricks, window frames, door frames, building sand etc. The site is now pretty full which is…

So it appears the builder has attempted to fix it but now there are more parts exposed and even some points sticking out completely away from the concrete. I'm going…

Our soakwells went in the other day and our bricks are due next week. Got our first progress payment too

Why should I be responsible for that though? I would have thought that there should be some standard as to whether it should be exposed or not. I would have…

Out slab was laid yesterday. It was all good however the edges were not at a right angle. Also some of the mesh was exposed. Is this normal as our…

We have a SLAB!!! After yesterday's no show (and our 3 hour wait) the slab was laid this morning. Thankfully my DW was able to place the gold coins in…

So our CLO assured me that the slab would be poured today (Australia Day) and the footings were completed yesterday. I went down to visit the site while the slab…

Went to the block tonight and found out that we have footings! The slab is due tomorrow (Australia Day) so going to go down and visit the site and take…

Went for a drive past yesterday. Our slab is due to be poured on Australia Day but they still haven't done any of the prep work for the plumbing etc.…

We have a sandpad
We are due to have the pad to go down this week or next. We can't wait.
