Hi Michael,
If you can hold off I probably would. We’re in the build process now and whilst we haven’t had any issues or delays, the uncertainty is worrying.

Why don’t you call a technician? Lol..

Hi mate,
We're currently almost at enclosure stage and have not experience any delays due to the COVID-19. However, as dga mentioned, this could change at any time and the current…

Hi mate,
I don’t think anyone will be able to give you advice on whether or not they can just decide this as this current economic situation is unprecedented.

It's not sad, no one wants to post what they've spent... such a silly topic.

Hi Alex,
You need to ask GJ.
We're building with GJ Garnder on the Gold Coast and they were pretty flexible with most things. Some things they wouldn't allow us to supply…

Definitely ask them, it won't hurt and you'll know where you stand

Based on our experience, that's odd, but perhaps the builder's processes are different. Just make sure your final repayment reflects the difference and you should be fine

Nat,
In that case they probably will. They cannot charge you more for what you have been supplied with, especially if you have the variations from them.
When you got the variation(s)…

Hi Nat,
Our experience with this is that the amount was taken from the total contract amount, I.E. a build of say 200k with -10k variations our builder would change the…

Hi mate, ours was like two weeks..

Have done that already, they will be as they have admitted the contract text isn’t very clear regarding the insulation

Hi MClark,
Thanks for the reply. I have done both options and decided I can do it cheaper myself, I even got a great price on the batts

Hi mate, thanks for your reply.
Yeah I believe the paper won’t, I was just under the impression that internal walls get insulated also the acoustic insulation was just for a…

Hi everyone,
So I've just dug through our contract (as I'm looking at acoustic insulation for certain areas) and the builder is putting in "Foil Faced Building Paper" they have not…

Thank you everyone

Hi,
Just wondering if a waste is required in the bathroom? Our builder has said that by law they are only required to have a waste in the shower area, I…

Hi,
Thanks for your comments, I have added responses in bold in the quoted text below.

Unfortunately we cannot flip these areas as we would not comply with our building envelop, we spoke to our developer about relaxing some of the guidelines however as it has…

We’re building in Gainsborough Greens at Pimpama, unfortunately we cannot flip the house as the garage is currently on the zero lot boundary and due to the block we are…

Hi gogo,
Thanks for your comments.
