We had registered building practitioners do inspections

Most people would assume that if there are defects in your new building that the builder would be obliged to fix the defects. Whilst this is true and the builder…

Thanks for your response!
Hi, one more question. We have requested a new certificate of compliance for the weak mortar and our builder has ignored that so far. Their engineer came…

Not sure.
Do you know whether the bricklayer was qualified?

That’s the thing- our mortar has failed two tests and does not technically comply with the performance solution.

It is extremely unlikely that any industry expert would certify a new Performance…

Unfortunately, we do not have anything related to mortar on the engineer’s certificate in our building permit, although the use of a performance solution is briefly mentioned by the surveyor.…

I agree. If they had fixed the defects properly when they were first notified we wouldn't still be talking about this 18 months later. However, I can't see…

We have been advised to get our mortar tested- the labs I’ve contacted won’t be able to quote until next week. Can anyone advise roughly what this test costs? TIA.

That’s appalling! I would camp out at their head office until they agreed to fix it. Sorry it happened to you.

Thanks all. I remain hopeful they will do the right thing. We paid a lot for our house and it should be to the standards set out in our contract.

Thanks.. Unfortunately this work was done in the last year after handover in our journey to get the bricks right. And our bricks didn't start turning orange until…

A bit of background - we built a double storey home in Melbourne. Our home had many defects, and the build went well beyond contract time. The biggest lingering issue…

Just to clarify, we did get our contract plans end of last week, but that was it... complete with 3 errors, and we're still waiting to hear on a late…

Our appointment is next Tuesday, so we're under a week away now.

Thanks for the advice, everyone! We have our appointment next week, and one last visit to the showroom this weekend. I plan on staying as long as I…

Hi, everyone,
As this forum has been so helpful, thought someone might be able to answer these questions - 1. When did you receive your contract prior to contract/colour appointment?…

Thank you everyone for your input! Will definitely look at your blogs and see how you went with the electrical appointment. We're meant to be getting our plans this…

Hi, everyone,
This thread has gone a bit quiet, I hope everyone's planning/building is coming along. We are a few weeks out from our colour/electrical appointments and wondered how many…

Now that's more like it! I was at Hynes today, and thought the range would be more extensive than so was definitely surprised by the small range on show.…

Hi, All,
Long time lurker, first time poster. We are building the Airlie 38+ and have our colour appointment coming up. Went for a tour of the tile showroom…
