Now It's 0.3mm Gap For Double Glazing. It beats all the rest
Maybe you can update the original post with this information and things like price and when/if it's actually available. It's not very helpful if you just post something vague and…

Now It's 0.3mm Gap For Double Glazing. It beats all the rest
I would say a U value of 2 and below is good.
I keep seeing window suppliers claiming their windows are 'the best' and then you see the U values are…

Your U values on the WERS website aren't very good.

Kalwanu Constructions - Experiences
Did you visit any of their existing builds and speak to some of their current clients beforehand?

How hot/cold does a sunroom get?
Depends how much direct sun it gets. Is there any shading (eaves or trees)? If the sun hits a window directly it doesn't matter too much if it's double or…

House wall wrap
Vapour permeable wraps are recommended in cold to temperate climates to reduce the risk of condensation build up inside the walls and ceiling spaces during colder months (resulting from vapour…

rust on house I Beams
The original photo doesn't look galvanised but I can't really tell with the other photos.
If the conditions are okay then I agree with the handyman that you will be gone…

rust on house I Beams
If you want peace of mind you need to get an actual structural engineer to look at it as there are a number of variables that determine how bad the…

Location of RWT inlet and outlet
Hi there,
I'm installing a 20kL round rain water tank next week and would like to know whether the position of the inlet and outlet need to be 180 degrees from…

Floor plan feedback
I think the master needs a re-think. Could you have a narrow study (1.8 - 2m deep) before you walk into the room with a window opposite? Just think it…

Making a hallway airtight
That's one of the problems with ducted. I don't think you have much of an option.

High indoor relative humidty in colder / rainy seasons
How long is the humidity high for? Or is that the average? I don't think it's terrible but you are obviously getting condensation in the bedrooms so it's bad enough.…

Building with Dechellis homes
It's Russian roulette with a volume builder and your chances of things going wrong are much higher given their business models are built on doing everything as cheap as possible.
It's…

Building with Dechellis homes
Volume builders aren't going to magically change their practices and become good.
I still know people signing up with Metricon. Bizarre

Questions to ask a builder before you begin?
You need to ask exactly what their inclusions are. Don't get a verbal list or rough dot points.
You will be surprised what builders don't include and how much extra…

Things can be done after construction.
Depends what you're current inclusions are, but we're not including wardrobes and will just use second hand ones until we can save later on to get them built. Also have…

I often get asked if now is a good time to build
About bloody time! Would be keen to hear what your tender results are and what's happening with prices. I'm getting pricing done soon (Adelaide) so fingers crossed prices haven't gone…

Prewiring a House for Data, CCTV, and Future-Proofing
Do TV's and computers really need a data cable if your house isn't huge and wifi coverage okay?

Prewiring a House for Data, CCTV, and Future-Proofing
For a modest sized house, what do you need data points for other than gaming?

VIC: 7 star energy rating commencing Oct 2023 - big impact?
Hi,
We've had lots of delays and still haven't started the build yet unfortunately! We're using Deceuninck upvc windows. They're tilt and turn with U values of 1.86. The SHGC varied…

New house build - Passive House
Ventilated wall cavity? I'm assuming the house would have gone through wufi modelling.

New house build - Passive House
Would definitely go passive house if we had the budget. Such well built houses and comfy temperatures! Have seen a couple this year.

Calibrate on Canberra Build Price June 2023
Yes we're looking at a similar price per m2 in Adelaide for a fairly simple single storey house. It's a decent custom builder but not high end. We've removed all…

Eagle homes experience
Yeah it's difficult now and I think the gap between haves and have nots has grown significantly over the last few years. We've had to put off building to save…

How I lost $100,000 and why I will never use steel frames
That sucks! Hope it all works out.
Good to move away from steel anyway for all your reasons, but it's also thermally poor.
