It is certainly important to understand why you are buying / building... This will ultimately determine the value of your house/home... I took a very similar approach. Having lived in…

We had the same, recessed into the frame and lost 0mm in depth. very pleased

There are many ways to deal with the metal frames even if you don't get any extra support in. A well designed bracket will allow them to be mounted to…

You can definitely do it, how easy comes down to familiarity and practice. The steel frames are pre-drilled with a range of vertical and horizontal holes as well as channels…

She is the best, huge asset to the organisation!

We have allot of soft grey internally, looks aces!

Have you considered the Bowral Gertruidis Brown as an alternative to the blue? It is a slightly lighter overall tone but has a similar dark / light mix and is…

If you are getting MJH to do it I would recommend going straight to the source and call Steve Sot who does 99% of their A/V work. For bespoke options…

Well I can't say that time flies but I was surprised to arrive back from my most recent business trip to an alien scene. Firstly all the fences were gone…

Have a look at pictures and magazines (http://www.houzz.com will probably become your number 1 bookmark). Narrow your selection down to things you like and generally the colour consultants can use…

I would not take it too personally, they get people calling to find out specifics so they can put them in another builders home all the time and can become…

It is certainly interesting discussion but one that seems a little far off topic (not specific to MJH)... perhaps all homeone users might benefit from this discussion... in its own…

I was told by my CLO that we would be invited to site to observe / monitor (in email too). Then the days came and went and next thing I…

Congratulations on both Scotty! I am sure both "projects" will go smoothly and only the house arrives early I can't imagine what those…

This is correct. What I was trying to say earlier though was that the contract completion date is not necessarily the handover date, rather just the date they must complete…

This is correct, MJH typically provide the contracted completion date once the slab is down however this should be considered indicative only. I had one friend build recently that finished…

Given this is the case, is there anyway to "clean" a dirty tank?

Congrats Miss Windsor ... Welcome to the world of remote control building ... Mine is going up while I pay the bills from the other side of the world (to…

We received a H1 classification also. Additional costs were accommodated in the tender for $3,710.00 that covered engineering and construction.
Ironically the site survey for my neighbours block that was…

I had a similar experience. I setup a PO Box (since there is no mail service in my area yet), we are still months away. The day after I setup…

Bricks can be a devil of a thing. Because they have a porous surface texture they will look completely different in the morning to the afternoon , from sun to…

There are lots of variables however the standard stud width is 600mm but this can vary for a number of structural and engineering reasons. I have zillions of photos however…

Sounds about right. $630.00 for a modified Milano 4 16M (16 windows total). Flyscreens for our stackers (2.3m) were 2,160 (8 segments)

Happy to help when I can, there were allot of smaller upgrades but please consider these guides only as lots of things factor in. These are a few from the…

Sounds like you have some of the more expensive upgrades in your tender already and allot of my costs were in some very specific security and ensuite requirements (can anyone…

I certainly understand, but with a 6 month build, there are few reasons I can imagine to invite a client onsite without knowing everything was working (including lights). Nothing stopping…

Sorry to hear. I would have thought the SS would have given the house at least a once over before the PCI . Certainly…

Spot on , as the condenser runs several degrees cooler than ambient air , as you approach 15-10c the efficiency of the unit is dropping dramatically (might be rated at…

This was a quoted item for us since it depends on many variables. In my case both my front rooms had extended cupboards (3dr rather than 2) with 9ft ceilings…

Not sure if I am surprised or not that this issue persists. :/

I know exactly the CLO you are talking about and you are not alone (I know a few others on the forum tied to the same anchor).
I got a…
