We used Houspect and they were great! Very detailed reports.

You can definitely contract an independent inspector at any stage of the build for as many or as little number of stages as you like

That is great news! You’re very lucky to get a studio M appointment so early in the process. It really helps with the final costs having those selections made so…

This is from our contract. Two charges, the first to extend the slab, the second charge is for bricking up the pillar (it was only timber initially).

Can I suggest you extend your outdoor room so the pillar is in line with the side of the house? We extended ours as the Glendale usually has the…

Welcome to the forum and good luck with your build!
We built our Glendale 42 in 2019, moving in 15 mths ago. We upgraded pretty much most items,…

Hello everyone, has anyone provided your own stuff during the building? I am looking to buy some smart light switches and let the electrician to install. Is this possible?
Thanks
Not with…

Not with Metricon I don’t think. It all has to be as per your signed contract - fixtures and all to be supplied by them.

I can’t remember having a pre contract presentation .... we had many upgrades and changes so we had a few meetings with them. I can’t remember what came first.…

They will give this to you at some stage. We were given it a couple of weeks after it was conducted. We built in Melbourne.

Looks absolutely beautiful!! Love the backyard!

Hi, I think you need a lot more lighting in each room - especially if they are downlights. Our build has 2 downlights in rooms such as study, kids bedrooms,…

It all looks great!! I can’t believe you are at PCI already.... how exciting!!

That is tough. It shouldn’t be like that at all. I am not sure who you go to after the construction mgr. I only had to escalate to construction mgr…

2 or so days. If it was much longer than that I chased them!

We are good - although powder room toilet is leaking again! Very frustrated - stage 4 restitutions and we have no downstairs toilet - no one will fix it until…

blacktea2sugars, your garage door looks fantastic 😉

Congratulations dulie! Very cute... where are you going to display his shoe collection? 😀😀😀

yes, very annoying when you think everything is sorted and then they tell you there are problems Love the garage door!

Can’t wait to see the garage door! Can you put some small bushes between the palms and Have the meter partially hidden by a bush? Still accessible?

Oh no! How awful that someone broke in! I guess it is good that nothing other than the door was damaged or stolen, but not a nice feeling…

Such a painful stage. So close but so far! New purchases look great!

Absolutely beautiful renman... I’m glad after all the issues with the outside, you have ended up with a stunning result. Perfect compliment to…
