Hey mate,
Definitely do advice as above. We had a similar thing happen to us (same side but not where we wanted it & not as per plans).
Unfortunately when we mentioned…

Wow that is stunning.. well done!

Depending on how they’ve discussed the project with you they don’t necessarily need to specifically itemise those individual things to you. If they’ve offered you a service, I.e. “bathroom renovation”…

If you’ve paid them money they legally have to give you an invoice: https://business.gov.au/finance/payment ... to-invoice
“If your customer requests a tax invoice from you, you must…

This... I wouldn’t be happy at all.

Why not ask the company who installed it to check it out for you? Makes more sense than asking a forum..

Hi mate,
I did acoustic insulation throughout plus acoustic plaster board panels, whether it made a huge different or not I’m unsure. The plasterboard though I can tell is definitely quieter…

Thanks for your replies guys. I will try both things before I contact the builder

Hi guys,
Recently we’ve noticed that we’re getting a lot of ants in one room of our home, upon inspection I found them coming through three slots in the window frame,…

If you want that bigger aircon you need to pay for it, however aircon is usually extremely easy to do post handover (double story not so easy though) are you…

We had to pay for our tiles but broom finished concrete was standard. As above though, each builder is different.

As soon as you buy if you are using finance you will be paying the loan.. you just make it work I guess. We paid repayments probably for a good…

Absurd tactics to try and persuade you into not doing it.
Unfortunately we didn’t engage a building inspector and I do regret it, don’t let them trick you with this BS.…

We’ve got hebel and I don’t mind it. Have lived in a brick house before too and can’t really say there’s much difference if at all.

They are definitely hard to deal with that's for sure.
We didn't really have colours for the outside set in stone that we wanted, so it's all a mostly grey (very…

Hi mate,
We recently finished building in Gainsborough Greens (welcome) and yeah you’re right, the covenant is ridiculous. All we generally did was supply the covenant document to our sale representative…

Jesus.. if my home looked like that after only three years I’d be contacting the builder for rectification..

Quite standard mate.. ours is the same and was stipulated in our contract that it would not be done. It’s the only area that isn’t done and tbh I don’t…

Thanks for this mate. I might look to go down this route glad it’s worked out for you!

I really hope they do not help you at all. Trying to screw your sales agent for their commission is scummy. Our sales consultant deserved every single cent if not…

Why would you want to know off their commission? That’s their livelihood..

They used gloss.. they keep mentioning satin colours which would “hide” these, however we were never given the option previously nor was it ever recommended prior to these issues.

Your photos…

A mix of both IMO mate. Upgraded underlay has extra benefits such as better resistance to liquids (in some cases) etc. plus it is not overly much more.
Best thing you…

We did our own carpet and underlay (mainly because I used to work at carpetcall so worked out a good deal) and got really plush carpet and upgraded underlay.. I…

I installed mine the day after handover.

Marks on walls, missing silicone in places and behind sinks, underneath cabinetry walls not painted, missing grout (if you have tile), unpainted shelves (mostly the bottoms), check all taps and…

Looks like it just has covers over each end? The valve looks off at the moment so you should be able to undo and add a piece to connect the…

Yes if you’ve already signed the contract you can make these changes at your colour selection appointment, otherwise you can ask your sales representative if you’re still in tender stage.

I bet your builder would know better than anyone else..

Hi Jess,
Our clean wasn’t too bad. Nothing was really dirty but we did give the home a through clean prior to moving in
