We noticed the same (tradies) using our toilets) even without sewerage! Ew!
We’re in a new development. Worth asking your SS next time you speak to him whether your application is…

Congrats Jen! May I ask if you have gas and sewerage connected yet?
Our PCI was a month ago and we still haven’t had handover. We have a recycled water company…

We’ve gone with the optional balcony on the Manhattan 52 design but with glass balustrades as opposed to brick. We did have to increase the height and translaminate on one…

Great news! Hopefully the 17 months will be a distant memory now that the visual progress begins! This stage was the highlight for me so enjoy!

Oh dear. What happened to your front door?
Wording from our SS was that he’s expecting this Friday, so it isn’t actually booked or confirmed yet. He was doing his best…

Everything seems to drag in the final weeks. We had a great pace with our build but as we moved into internals everything slowed down. What’s most frustrating for us…

Oh wow, sounds like I shouldn’t have any complaints. If it’s any consolation your home does look amazing! Worth the wait!

Hi Navy,
All minor jobs from what I can see. Finishing touch-ups of paint, gyprock, electrical, silicon, another brick clean (as we had some crooked ones replaced) but because it requires…

Thank you. Excited and afraid at the same time that there could be mistakes that will delay handover. Fingers crossed the quality is there.

No it isn’t. Was a surprise to us too but since we’re covering it we haven’t queried this further. Perhaps you can ask a tiler to see if this has…

From my calculations it’s now week 36 from slab. Our build period is 30 weeks in our contract.

For those who have had PCI / handover, any advice on what to expect? Also, how long is handover after the final inspection? Ours is scheduled for late next week.

We have the same gap and was told the same by our SS, that it is all okay. We plan to put decking over though to extend the alfresco out.…

Hi there,
Have you considered upgrading your package to a Prestige or Signature and are you opting for the promo?
A lot of those things are included with the exception of point…

Yikes, must be a big area indeed!
doosra, very true. A lot of other factors can come into play with these things. In…

Sounds like concrete pools are much more pricey. We’ve gone fibreglass with the Connect 10 too, electric heating, blade water feature, massage jets, porcelain pavers with drop face coping etc.…

Agreed. We were in the same situation when we signed up. Happy to accommodate as we would have loved the opportunity too but the lack of courtesy was disappointing.

For those in construction, we encountered a Wisdom sales rep taking customers into our home yesterday. As we weren’t notified, my husband put a call into our CSR and was…

Congrats! Another step closer!

Makes sense since guests will walk right past yours. A door wouldn’t break the bank either. Could get one of those doors with the translaminate glass panel so it still…

Nice CS199, and very true. Our butlers is west facing so we opted to keep it open so it doesn’t get stuffy. Door has it’s pros though, as my two…

It’s the Manhattan 52.

Hey CS199,
Opening is 1160mm. Didn’t consider a door as we have a third fridge right by the opening so it would have gotten in the way.
No access to the laundry…

Hi all,
Haven’t posted in a while as progress has been slow and we’re now past our 30 week build period.
Things are looking up though and I’m hoping we’re no more…

Wow! Seems like there’s construction delays happening all around.
We are at week 29 of a 30 week contract and still at least 8 weeks away from completion.
We had good progress…

Is it the rangehood vent you’re referring to?
If so, not the best pic but you’ll see ours to the left.

We opted for a Jack and Jill for two bedrooms as we needed a bathtub for my little one (and didn’t want him to have to use ours).

Hi CS199,
We’re building the Manhattan 52 on a 2000sqm block with a 26m frontage.
With our triple garage we opted to widen the foyer for a grand entry with 2 x…

Terrible news Doorsa. No experience to share I’m afraid. How did this happen?

Long time coming indeed! I’m sure the wait will be worth it. How long was the build time in your contract?
