Ed.....I wish you had posted this during our build 6 months ago.....we have to live with windows and a huge stacker that is not square. To quote our security door…

We are....and no. All I can say is don't expect the same attention to detail you see in their display homes. In their defence I think a majority of volume…

Sounds like Wisdom haven't got any better at the tender process. We had so many omissions and items charged for twice....it took more than a few times to get an…

I would suggest that you contact your council immediately telling them what you saw and providing them with before and after photos. With any luck they will chase next door's…

Thanks for your replies
So far I've been able to ascertain that the paint is supposed to be 2 pac. I rang a local kitchen installer…

We have been in new house now for 3 months and already had problems with our polyurethane (other than those created by the builders themselves!). Our polyurethane is chipping around…

From our experience the brick ties don't get nailed down until after the inspector has inspected and passed the frame and bricking. Once passed the ties will be nailed in.

Thanks for your response Syrus

Does anyone know if colourbond can be patched up?
Our newly installed colourbond watertank in monument is sporting a large scrape. We are near salt water so having metal exposed is…

Glad to hear you got it sorted KG

We were charged by our builder an extra $500 to upgrade the sink and $550 for the cut, polish etc of the ceaserstone.

We are building a two storey through Wisdom....contract length is 26 weeks.

What's the median house price at GF? Asking price for this property seems to be too high considering the land is only 375 sqm and single storey. This house was…

My MIL has had a free system installed by Sanctuary Solar.
Be sceptical of their timeframes for installation etc. My MIL waited 6 months for the panels to be installed and…

I had wooden floorboards for over 10 years and only used hot water and metho. I did experience streaks on the odd occasion and figured out it was the mop…

From our experience the brick manufacturer is more willing to admit that the bricks aren't up to scratch if they are still on the pallets. We had a bad batch…

Wow...I'm not sure if the RSPCA would really appreciate klscomps' dog being tied up for 2 months. I'm sure the dog wouldn't either

We currently have a Commonwealth Bank Construction loan and we have paid money off the principal during the build and also have money sitting in the offset account.

Looks like the way rates are worked out differ from state to state.
We're in Liverpool NSW and I've just confirmed that ours is based on land value only.

That was also my understanding.

That sucks...almost like double dipping on the construction loan.
Seems like the banks are getting away with more and more these days with their home loans.
Hope you get it sorted.

We've had 6 custom made windows stolen from our site...very disheartening! It took another three weeks for replacement windows to be made

We've just gone through this ourselves.
Have you got Origin Energy in your area? If you sign up with them for 12 months they will give you one month's free electricity.…

Anyone?

Would love to get your feedback on our brickwork. These bricks were cleaned yesterday and to be honest I'm not happy with the cracks. I suspect the acid wash has…

We are in the same position as you however our developer has included a condition in the contract that we cannot seek compensation from them for fencing. We have three…

Here's our wall made from Boral Leura. House is still being bricked so I can't give you a whole house shot. Bricks obviously still need to be cleaned.

We originally reserved…

I don't think you are legally obliged to pay as you did not own the land when the fence was erected.
We too are facing the same issue as your…

Who paid for the original retaining wall? If they paid part or all they are very much entitled to have a say in any alteration to the retaining wall.
If you…

Thanks Danma...it's always comforting to know that they care about their customers. I think after sales service is just as important. We have been dealing with their Campbelltown store.
Love your…
