If it was anything like Clarendon Homes, which I'm sure they are all the same, they will have conduit running from the NBN pit to the side of your house…

Some builders just won't do it. They don't want the liability. I think our driveway was about 6 or so for exposed agg

Hi minandb my Madison buddy! I didn't mess around really when we got the keys it was pretty much same day digging out the driveway and then pouring I…

We built in stage 7 and have been in for about 5-6 weeks now. I'm glad we didn't wait for the later stages and very happy with the corner…

What does the clause say? I don't remember there being one myself.
We budgeted for H but ended up M which was good.

Builder did it. No clause in contract.

We built in Stage 7 and it came back as Class M. Next door to us they had some weird rating from their initial soil test, but they re-did…

Unsure yet I'll find out soon enough. Mixer taps were not yet installed in basins on Monday but we knew they wouldn't be. Hopefully they went in yesterday…

We used them for slab, frames and lockup although the lockup one was a waste of time and they didn't charge me for it. Kspec don't do a waterproofing…

Thanks MinandB, hows things going post handover for you? Has your bricks issue been resolved or have a resolution?

Less than 24 hrs until handover!! Picked up final bank cheque and were good to go.

It was approximately 2 weeks between getting a soil test & survey done and signing our building contract. The dates went like this...

For us, the build experience has been reasonably enjoyable. As it has gotten closer I've certainly been a…
