I beleive they just used a preasure washer and sprayed it down, but I'm not sure of that. I'm not aware of them doing anything more, as I wasn't home…

Hey Guys,
Thought I would give a little bit of an update. We thought that we had finially reached the end of the maintenance items last week whent he render tot…

deb17: Good to hear that they have actioned stuff for your place that quickly. Sounds like they have attempted to make right, I just hope that it's more an actually…

The agie drains behind the wall are correct. They are meant to drain the water away before it goes over the wall and stop water backlogging behind the wall and…

Honestly, it could be a mixture of the wall being too low and the drainage being inadequate. When we where doing work in our back yard (which has a 1.2m…

I agree. The houses are well built. Nice and sturdy. But our concerns and issues have been with the finishing work which has been done.
I honestly don't think the charcoal…

Just a quick update on how we are going. Most of the maintenance items are now completed, but there are still some items they have to come back and fix…

Thank Maclaren. It will be wonderful once we get there, but sadly still not there yet. We have gone over what the builder has done, and as expected there are…

So, it's been a while since my last post. We have been going backwads and forwards with the builder trying to get our list of defects resolved. We had what…

Thanks for all the advice guys. We have provided the pictures to our builder now, to really illistrate there is a problem. Will have to wait and see what they…

The Bundles are already available to Velocity customers (and have technically been available since June/July). The tricky pat is making sure Telstra give you a 13 digit customer/account number so…

Thanks Craig. That's our thoughts exactly. Where the blue Colour is, it looks great. The problem is there isn't many places it is blue. The builder has said that they…

Hey Guys,
As promised, here are the pictures of our grout. I have tried to include pictures from each of the rooms with the problem (Ensuite, Bathroom and powder room). I…

We still haven't heard from them, so as far as we know they are still denying to fix outs. So we are still having to follow the next logical course…

Thanks for the info. As part of the mainteance they have tried simply 'going over the top' of the grout that was white. It really hasn't fixed it, and those…

We are experiencing the same problems as Deb, but to a greater extent. Our grout is meant to be a blue colour, but is very white (in some places it…

I would like to apologize for my previous comments. It appears that some offense was taken from them, which was not my intention. My intention is simply to document our…

Had the meeting with the maintenance manager today. We went around the house and worked through the maintenance list. He used the list that the maintenance guys had used (and…

The comment from the guys as thy where leaving on Friday was they just needed to come back to redo the ceiling and the front door and they will be…

Today was the 4th day that we had Bentley homes out to do maintenance on our place. This was supposed to be all the time they needed to fix our…

It does seem fairly common, yes. I know that ours did not have any plastic on them, and they where in before our roof was on. So they where there…

We had the maintenance guys out last Thursday and Friday. They have been great, very friendly and obviously know exactly what they are doing and how to do a good…

Sounding good Deb. Hopefully they get all your problems fixed up quickly!

We had our maintenance inspection today, and the Maintenance Manger is really nice. He was very willing to look for all the faults, not just let us point them out,…

No question, the house itself is of high quality and made well. On the whole we are happy with however the build has gone, but the frustrations with the finishing…

Hey All. We have recently finished building with Bentley Homes in the Laurimar Estate, in Doreen Vic, and we thought we would share our experiences with them.
When we first went…

At this stage I would be speaking to a Lawyer or someone from Legal Aid about these problems. Obviously you haven't gotten what you have paid for and the architect…

I'd be responding with:
'I have questioned the size, which is why I have contacted you. Since you drew the plans, didn't you notice the inconsistent and incorrect dimensions'.
In the end…

Your builder has it the wrong way about. Looking at that drawing it is clear that the door is wider than it is high. I would be asking the builder…

Are you buying the land? If so the stamp duty you pay is based on the purchase price of the property, if you are a first home owner etc. Here's…
