we have tried to include as many things as we knew we would want to our tender so afterward we did not have many surprises.
I just run quickly through…

last night when i realised they are coming from under the door, I decided to defence my home a vacuum cleaner.

if you are financing the construction with a loan, make sure you know your banks conditions on releasing the final payment.

Hi guys,
we got our keys yesterday.
i would probably be more excited if not the last crap that Kurmond put me through.
On the day of the final inspection we have…

great! congrats! if kitchen is there and tiles are in then probably 3-4 weeks more.

Hi guys,
an update from us!
We had the first practical completion inspection this week.
All looked good though not everything was finished.
The driveway was being installed as we were inspecting everything.
They…

exactly! our tender said the land needed to be registered before July 2017. we confirmed that it was 31st of July and therefore signed tender on 27th of July. It…

wow, you will have a fancy house it seems!
we have a small and simple house therefore not much to do after handover.

well we were not really offered that.
we actually ask about all this during tender presentation (before signing it).
after signing the tender we new when it would expire (it is said…

I would say they need 6 months from the day they are on site, give or take.
and no, Kurmond doesn't give any lock combinations. the other way around, they stress…

what are you planing to do after handover? I mean anything major to finish?
we only have 1st floor flooring and bedrooms shutters of major. We want to arrange the measure…

No, we did all the inspections ourselves and we are going to do both PCIs ourselves.

it should be much quicker now!
They went to site in mid may and we are at practical completion stage now.
We are actually expecting the first PCI invite any day now…

of course we asked them to leave it on site. we asked them to take one load and leave the leftovers on site as we will anyway need it for…

happy to hear your build is progressing well!
yeah we have noticed different colour insulation. I was more worrying not about the quality of works. you know, it is hidden and…

Thank you!
I am a bit concerned with moisture but I think it would only be exposed to moisture during cleaning.
I am not sure though how they are are going connect…

Ah, I see! that was my first thought. I am just concerned how it is going to look. that's why I am asking if anyone did something similar

I don't think that painting laminated floor is a good idea. We asked the suppliers, they didn't recommend.
I don't know if the pictures show laminated floors or timber floors. I…

well, we have already decided that it is going to be laminated floor upstairs including the stairs. so no carpets and such.
as far as i understand they usually do…

regarding the acoustic insulation. no they haven't provided any proof at all. though they promised as we requested an inspection for that. after they installed gyprok they claimed that they…
