What's the temperature inside the house before heater was turned on this morning for u all in Melbourne.
Im find it a bit underwhelmed with 6 stars home. Probably expecting…

How was your leak fix BTW?

Yes there is a unit cost for data points. I was charged $860.00 for 6 points and $750 for Wireless Access Point (WAP) installation.
A wireless access point is a…

Could u give some examples issues they refused to fix?

Even before final payment they can make your life difficult and drag on?

Do double glazing even if your home reach 6 stars without it.
Especially for windows u want to leave not covered by blinds or curtain through out the night and…

Bear in mind Doulton 777 completed their house a while back and contract signed much earlier..
Between mid 2017 and 2019, Prices has gone up by quite a lot.

Thought I revisit this topic.

If you are in Melbourne and have NBN HFC at service…

All nbn does is pull the cable through all the conduits the builder has installed in your new house..
Without the conduits. It will be a mess.
So NBN is…

I think its pretty standard. You definitely need the conduit inside your house and the data points.
But the conduit from the NBN pit to your outside of the garage, you…

The diffuser doesn't help much. Still very harsh compare to a std led bulb.

For point 2. U need to prewire with cat 6 data cables.

The trend is downlights.
In the past I read someone on this forum says downlights are very harsh and glaring light I didn't believe it
I just move into my recently completed…

If they use yellow sand and off white mortar u get yellowish tone mortar.
If they use white sand and off white mortar u get off white mortar.

Actually I build with a small custom builder.
So far so good no squeaking at all. Even with kids jumping on it.
The extra thing they did was after lock…

Oh ok
I assume it must be squeaking in upstairs bathroom? Since u said tiles.
I guess a lot of messy work pulling out your celling below.. And not easy…

Try wd40.. Google in Internet.
A friend just did it. It says its amazing..

I reckon they won't access through celling at all.

I can't tell u if there are actual issues.
But from your the slab photos they looks fine IMO..
No different then any other slabs I seen.

So far I say you hit a "jackpot". Perfect timing to build.. Getting good tradies and fast built.

Undermount sink the edges of the benchtop will be exposed.
So if u have a pot etc etc hitting it
it could chip.

Risk of benchtop chipping is very real for undermount.
A friend Chipped his and on this forum people posted the same.

What a great time to build a house!
When it's not crazy busy for the builder and contractors and very little rain

Ok, looks to be same problem I had... Down pipe is blocked somewhere.. So water could be pouring out anywhere from the downpipe.
My issue was the connection of the…

U should be happy mate.
The slab membrane is so perfect.
Never seen a completed house with such perfect slab membrane.
And expose slab edge. Yes is normal most builder…

I recently had handover from a small custom builder. They are not premium custom builder but basically cost around 60-70k more compare to big volume builders like metricon, PD and…

Hmm, Where will the car go?

Yup is normal.
Even if someone says it's not normal.
It will still be done the same way.

If the picture for the garage wall is inside garage wall. Then yeah, pretty common for messy mortar... Since brick layer will only treat one side as the "perfection" side.…

Yellow tongue Particleboard does swell of expose to lots of rain.
But looks like u are getting only 1 or 2 days of rain.
So no problem.
