Hi,
Fortunately we did have a step down to the garage. It was standard. I wouldn't have expected it to be otherwise. Really surprise to see…

I'm a little bit worried now to hear not so great feedbacks from people who have lived in their Mainvue houses on and off the forum. Square set…

Hi Dana,
Every job is always different from another. I found independent inspection for frame and Pre Handover is really worth while. Major frame issue was found…

It was a premature "New Home Presentation". Very disappointed because house is still in complete. Cleaners were on site trying to tidy up. Painters were on site doing external…

PCI on Monday ... excited yet a little bit anxious! I'm bringing the private inspector with me at the same time my own checklist. Hopefully there won't be…

Hi Dana,
If you check the display home picture of the Cullen family to alfresco area, the timber post in between and both sliding doors are one unit. Lucky we…

The two handles on top of microwave tower overhead was a mistake. We have to pay $300 extra to get them replaced. We did tell color consultant that we…

Hi Dana,
Our second replacement looked like yours. The display home didn't have the mini top edge so they took it off for us.
We felt quite fortunate to have the…

Timber post between two sliding doors to alfresco was told to be stained ... Now it's been constructed as plaster corner. The new SS said timber post was an…

Three issues have been raised to admin:
1. Alfresco sliding doors misalignment to the dining window. Offset 5-7cm. Look bad compared to display.
2. All picture windows has thin…

New windows delivered ...yet wrong again !!!!!
Anyway, I've been advised that they be sorted next week. Touch wood! Also, lock up stage is end of next week and fixing…

Evap cooling is not designed for double storey. I was advised to best use split systems.

We just realised the picture windows installed in the family room are not the same as displayed. There are some thick wooden border around the edges of the glass which…

SS said we could have our house completed in 3 months, depending on brickwork. Can't believe it's already 7 months since we settled on this new property.

Just pm you. Cheers!

Hi Dana,
Congratulations on finally demolishing the house! Hopefully you have already signed contract by now. It won't be too long for construction to start.
My build…

Footing stumps were done. Still no contact from SS. Finally got the post contract variations from the admin girl. I figured the quickest way to speed things up with…

Nice work Clubbi! Looks like your well settled. I love your blinds and probably will do the same on my house. Are they white or off-white…

It's exciting to see something happens on site this week. Site scraped and fenced! Not yet seen the portaloo. It is one month since our unconditional financial…

It's been a month now since contract signing. I'm expecting Mainvue to contact me regarding site start date next week. I hope that they do. Admin girl…

Hi Dana,
I did install a single phase pit from UE as well and it did cost me about $3k. The year before was only around $1k

Building-expert didn't respond to my email enquiry for the price schedule

Hi Rangi,
I'm building the Orleans facade, in which there is no balcony. Initially I wanted to have balcony but decided that too much maintenance for little use…

So frustrated with Vic Wide Demo ... due date from council passed and they haven't fixed up the damages. Promise after promise still going no where yet

Hi Dana,
I think 2.5m extension is the triple garage option.

We ended up spending nearly $80k upgrades .. still not close to the Display home yet.

Hi Dana,
Yes, I paid the same. That's disappointing ! I suppose you have a valid reason to remove that option if you're not happy its worth since you're…

Btw, I did upgrade to garage plus size and that was about the same as on your plan. Mind you I didn't compare to standard size ... Now thinking…

Hi Dana,
Vic Wide can help fill in the forms for you and apply on your behalf but you'll have to pay associated fees and security bond for council asset protection.…

Hi tengals,
Great progress! I'm glad to see your staircase. Mine is gladly the same
Did you extend your alfresco? It looks…
