Hi all.
We built with HGWA and received our keys December 2017.
Mostly the house is great with very few problems.
However, our biggest regret (easy with hindsight) is going with the…

They never give you enough lights or powerpoint. Electrical will be one of your major prestart expenses. Good luck!

Yes, they are the 10W Della Vita ones. I have 2x 10W LEDs over a 2.3m bench and that provides good lighting. I would think for 5 metres you would…

We took most of the LED lights out and replaced with batons as we wanted to get our own pendants etc. We did leave some LEDs above the kitchen and…

An update on the crap HGWA tiles. So the tile cleaner fella came out and did a huge clean. And boy oh boy did those tiles look awesome! But two…

Get back in touch with HGWA and insist they send a tile cleaner out to assess them. It is a known problem. After standing my ground HGWA sent out a…

Hi there.
An update on our HGWA charcoal floor tiles...
We have lived with them for a year now and they suck! Always filthy, shows every footprint etc. So I contacted the…

Hi there. Yes, we do have the dark grey tiles from HGWA. To be brutally honest it was the worst decision we made in the house. The rest of the…

Hello all.
We moved into our new HGWA house in December 2017 and have been trying everything that the supermarket and Bunnings can provide to get our charcoal Della Vita floor…

ANZ for us. They have been terrific!

As for banks, valuations and final payments...
Don't leave it to your builder or local bank or broker.
Ring your bank directly and ask when the valuation is booked in. On the…

Our garage is filled with boxes and stuff. It is VERY daunting to look at. One box at a time I guess.

Beautiful! Now some pictures of your unpacked house please!

Ah yes, we tried Nick Scali and Dankz and Freedom and The Furniture Gallery etc etc etc. They all said weeks and/or months until they had stock. Finally found something…

Yep that sounds like me! Next time stop and say hi!

Did I have a greyhound and a Westie with me?? If so, yep that was me!
Slowly getting through the boxes, although many of them we are leaving packed until the…

So very very exciting! Scraping in just before Xmas! Again, congratulations!

When are you planning on moving in?

Woohoo! Congratulations!

Slowly getting through some boxes...

By the way, sent you a PM.

That is complete BS! I have been waiting since middle of November for my fence. Each week they say it will be done and then nothing happens. Now I have…

Still no fence today. Really, really cross now.

Any news on when the fences will be done?
We are moving in today and only one side is done.
Really angry now.

I reckon if you can get the bank into gear Monday, you should be able to pick up a cheque on Tuesday and then head to the builder to grab…

That really does suck, Madora Dreamer.
So disappointing for you. But once you have moved in, this will all be a distant blurry memory.

I have posts all around but only one side of my fence panels done this afternoon.
If the rest is not done tomorrow I will be joining you at the sales…

Posts went in 2 days ago but no panels as of about 11am this morning.
Apparently (according to the superviser) the panels should go in either today or tomorrow.
Again, I will…

Ugh, more packing and shifting!
Poor you.
I wish you a wonderful Christmas regardless of whether you are in your new home or not.
Although I am super happy we've got our…
