Go up there as often as you can, I visited my site every day (lucky that I was only 2 minutes drive away about 1km drive). I saw every stage…

afraid is not the word, more likely the change in the area that will happen. You obviously have not experienced it so I suppose I welcome your entry into being…

sorry, nice glossy website, I would hope you would not think this really influences people much, as the problem being is not so much as who is there now in…

hmmmmm all i can say is what I would do.... run run run run as far away from that development. If you live next to that development all i can…

I suggest you be careful then as when u submit those plan to council then they will expect the driveway to be constructed as per plans otherwise you will later…

sorry maybe I wasn't clear, what I meant was the whole driveway width in your plans, in that as you enter your driveway it is wider and as you drive…

not sure if this has been asked but just out of curiosity why the non regular width driveway so to speak?

As said there will always be residents who will have the downside of storm water & sewerage pits and also having it run through their main property its just the…

If you don't have the main storm water pipe running through your property then at least that is a big plus the only downside is having the pit outside the…

well it also depends on where the pipes go and what you can do. Lets hope for the OP that its just at most an inspection pit and he has…

No one has asked as they more than likely already noticed and those who have come by (driving past as a visual inspection prior to entry) prolly lost interest in…

mistake but if he's happy, I just hope someone pointed that out to him before he bought. Having a storm water maintenance drain at the front of your property definitely…

I say your next call has to be to get his details and make contact.

If this is the case then I think it is a bad option, never rely on someone to build the house you want to your standards. I agree with others…

one tip that many seem to miss is there normally is a case when you get close to loading up a circuit usually it is something like 15 single power…

This is a load of crap and is up with the fairies if you adhere to this bit of advice. If you simply only have agreed days for your…

I'd also be curious if you are getting regular updates of the next steps.
Also if it is such a small company that you are essentially contacting someone like the owner…

I'd be asking this then, very very very surprised you don't know who your SS is for your build. My next question to the company would be who is the…

ring youir site supervisor and organise a time to meet him onsite to go through the issues. and also fire off an email for records.
My yes man simply said yes…

get those things sorted out asap, i had a building site supervisor that i had no faith in and actually fixed the issues myself as he was just a yes…

I think you will appreciate a better build than a rush job and spend an extra month with your parents. Just keep an eye on the build and raise any…

pff... what I have learn't with builders is to simply not worry what they think and just do what you want. Personally I'd move the fence and play the same…

personally I would rather them not rush any job and simply do the job properly rather than simply slab it all together. If a build in my books takes an…

from what I know they have internal clips with a stiffener

ohh based on that from what you say I'd avoid it, if it was me brick all the way, no render and hence no need to worry to repaint later…

Looks interesting although it is zinc although I'm after alu, if they had it in that then I would seriously consider them.
Also my gutters are 150mm Flat Back Half round…

Can anyone recommend me an aluminium gutter guard to have installed, it is the only thing that I am not sure about as there are a number of products out…

sorry can't really help you on your questions although does look interesting. The only downside for me with this option is that like render I assume you will be forced…

I agree if we are talking about facades but from what seems to be the case most of the cost is for the walls from what it seems. Your right…

apart from the insulwalls that I don't have (and wouldn't want) my house is over 40sqm that i built and it is cool in summer the alfresco door lines up…
