Yep. We were waiting almost a month for the safety glass (frosted) to be put in our bathroom. For whatever reason just regular clear glass was installed. We also needed…

Post-handover update on our blog: http://jcbah.blogspot.com.au/2016/10/post-handover.html
So many defects found and our SS isn't answering or returning my calls.
Any advice on dealing with front doors that aren't…

Handover is 12pm tomorrow, I'm told the paint will be cleaned from the windows but I'm not sure about the window lock that might need to be replaced.
We are building…

Since PCI we've found further damage to our house. The cleaners(?) seem to have used something harsh on a couple of surfaces, grrrr this will only delay handover even further.…

Dont worry, mine looked like that too. See the pic below, the rail ends up being centre.

PCI next week on our Montague 19. Builder claims the correct 50kg runners were installed in our kitchen pot drawers but we found the packing slip that says they are…

This is what we have installed in our ensuite. It includes 4 rails, a set of drawers beneath open shelves and another set of open shelves. This was well under…

The wardrobe quote we received was significantly cheaper than IKEA, still not very cheap though. Did you opt for a colour? The default white is fine for us and was…

PCI in two weeks, is the skirting or the wall uneven in this pic? We suspect water damage since the plaster in this room was exposed for weeks before the…

We are building in an estate with a few design guidelines, nothing over the top but one of them is a 1.8m maximum fence. Since ours is a corner block,…

We have our PCI in a few weeks, and am starting to make a list of things to show our BC. Am i being too picky or is that tile…

What are the regs on distance from the sink? We didn't have a measure but it's gotta be more than 60cm away (diagonally), maybe even more. The thing is the…

I'll be able to take measurement tomorrow and will let you know. Yes opposite wall would be better than under the sink if it can't be placed as we saw…

110cm is stated on our plan. That should put it at the height we saw in the display home. In any case I've sent the photo to my site supervisor…

No nothing like that, its a fairly standard bathroom. It's got me stumped, I mean there's room on the wall to put it where we expected. :/

The electrical plan is birds eye only. Not sure how we could have known they planned to put it there since it looks to be on the wall. It should…

Hi all,
We're building the Montague 19, electrical was fitted out the other day but we've discovered a power point under the sink (in the cabinet) in our bathroom.
Is something like…

The colour we picked is called Siren's Call. I'm sorry I can't find a pic of it atm. When we had our appointment at WoS they tried to tell us…

further updates to our blog, we are now at lock-up stage with hebel installed last week.

Oh, that's fine, because we're building the 19sq version. The measurements as displayed in Ashton(?), Craigieburn, are accurate of what we're getting. The house at Berry Lane only has the…

Oh, possibly! Have just sent an email to our BC, will post the outcome here.
Thanks.

Oh, that's not what we were told yesterday - nor from others who are building in our estate having to reselect too.
She said all of the Cat 1 & 2…

Yesterday we went to WOS to reselect our stone benchtop colour. Fair to say it didn't go well and they kicked us out at 5pm without having made a decision.
Originally…

I'm sorry, which wall? Also, why might we want to move it 220mm? The ensuite is small enough as it is.
Which display are you referring to? We took measurements of…

Hmm, our PD contract is subject to finance, as negotiated at our contact signing appointment. This might have been allowed only because we purchased a H&L package, and our…

Hi Kimsta, we are building an Access range home so bypassed the tender appointment but after our WOS appointment we were given credit on the carpet upgrade but were misquoted…

Quick question - how much did you pay in redraw fees?
We've been told it's going to cost us $1500 (exc. the cost of the window that needs to be added)
*Includes…

Wow. So today we received a letter telling us there was an "error" and the easement at the back of our property is actually 3m wide, not 2m.
We would not…

The proposed E6 freeway would extend from the Western Ring Road to meet the future Outer Metropolitan Ring Road at the Hume Freeway, and run through the suburbs of Thomastown,…

My brother currently lives there, and I'm in the process of building elsewhere in Mernda.
The traffic on plenty road is a real nightmare, I'm told it can take up to…
