We fired up our fully integrated miele last night.
Bliss. Pure bliss.

Stormy... the bounce comes from the joists. Would suggest you had them a little closer together- 450 centres is the max. Assuming you've used 45mm joists, that means about…

The gas is normally a capped pipe that protrudes from the finished wall surface. How high do you want this to appear? If abbove floor level then it will be…

If you go ahead with it, make sure you advise of them of the height you want it at... Otherwise they'll leave it at about 1200mm which may not…

It depends on what stage things are at... at sales, they will change anything and everything but at a cost. If you are close to signing, they will change…

Maybe theres a record of the units being tagged on site? This may indicate the days they were used??

I dont think this in particular would explain your delays. I would put your delays down to their poor efficiency across the board... once your construction starts, then you're…

yep... I'm "in" the middle of a build. So over it, so many regrets!

Would seem as an outsider looking it, that all is not well... 4 site supervisors and a construction manager leaving in quick succession. Too many houses, not enough staff…

We had a similar issue. They applied non-shrink grout (Barrafill) in a fairly amateur way, so we asked for the engineering documents and certification. They provided the docs, which showed…

Been thinking, and reflecting... questions I wish we had of asked of the big M.
I would ask whether you get a pre-fab frame or a frame made on-site. I would…

We're struggling with overhang issues at the moment- nice one Big M.
They're patching up the front, and chipping away at the back... would have been easier to just put the…

Finally, someone making some sense! We have to move our crossover, should cost about 2K. We applied for developer approval, but havent applied for council approval yet because we're waiting…

things like...
significant overhang on some edges
roof trusses 450 short of the eaves
poor corner fills
window frames needs replacing
plumbing rough in errors
short noggins
studs greater than 600 apart
missing strongbacks
pretty poor workmanship throughout really-…

Generally speaking... if you can't say something nice, don't say it. Hence not much discussion re: M.
??

We're about to start looking as well... sounds like Kevin is the man.
Plenty of info on these forums about him... costs are between $495 and $550 a visit.
We had…

looks fine. I'd work on the curve though...

our slab cost an extra 6-7K and we had a provisional cost of 6K for rock. They found nothing... nada. We reinvested the 6K in new benchtops and some other…

Chill. I wouldnt pay anyone to clean it up yet. Wait nutil you get a site start date, and then contact the builders next door. just tell them your site…

We're down the other end of the street... 13. I believe we're at similar stages? We're actually supposed to have a site start today... lets just wait and…

where are you? street number or lot number will do...

just stumbled across your thread...
You obviously have reasons for making the changes to the floorplan, but I wanted to ask about the toilet/laundry combination. Given you have a toilet in…

I wouldnt stress too much about it. What can you do? We have 325 days for build, starting from the time the contract is signed. The sooner you sign it,…

Not far from us... Arapiles Avenue.

We're starting with M as well, about to sign up for a Jasper32 (waiting for July 1st).
We had to chase Lifestyle for an appointment, but it came free... and was…
