VJ, you are coming up against a similar problem to us. Kevin uncovers a mountain of issues of which are seemingly impossible to get fixed in a reasonable period…

Hi Petal
I think paperbark render looks great with the Hawthorn bricks! Do you have a photo of the one DH found with the darker render so you can compare…

Our Site Supervisor told us that plastering is due to start Thursday but I have not even heard when the BSS inspection will be. I am so glad we…

Well everyone, Kevin just inspected my place today and yes he is a Super Star . He said in general the frame is very…

Thanks for your 2 bits Phoenix! I will definitely be there for the inspection. It is a good opportunity to look at things properly myself as well. …

I mentioned Homeone in my first email to him and he called me back that day so I was very happy with that, I was expecting it would take a…

My SS does not seem interested in being there but he said the carpenter is likely to be there that day so would be able to talk about any issues.…

Hey thanks Vanderlay that is really sensible I had not thought of it like that! Kevin said he will do the report on Tuesday night so they will have…

I have him coming on Tuesday to do a pre plaster inspection. I called my site supervisor last Tues to find out a good time for Kevin to come…

Does that mean they deliver all the internal doors before lockup to put the garage internal door on or just that one?

Did you have internal garage access from the house?

It is looking like we may achieve lockup by Friday

I agree it is best not to go in, it would not be worth getting sprung. I really was just wondering how the tradies get it, I was hoping…

Yes I think I read you did this in another thread, we can always hope this will happen...... I would have been very embarrasing…

This may be a dumb question but once the house is at lockup how do all the tradies get in?

We have had an issue with PD in the last few days about the height of a void, where the wording of the contract said one thing (not what we…

I was not able to negotiate on one single thing. I got one discount of $105 because the consultant said getting a fridge space would not cost anything but…

I agree with Mozzie there is no negotiation you just have to budget for the prices as they are, I guess the only good thing about this is that…

I need some advice. I recently discussed with the lovely guy who was in charge of our frame (H) about putting extra noggins in for towel rails and hanging…

Looking fantastic!
What colour are your walls and kitchen cabinets?

Hi Perry
Can you add my blog to the list?
Thanx

We were just trying to use a no BS approach. We were not trying to get some incredible bargain we just wanted land to build on and wanted it…

I did exactly that. I did about 100 letterbox drops and got one phone call and bought the house, demolished it and am now up to frame stage on…

Mine says 198 days plus the 10 for bad weather. I am not worried too much I have a feeling they will be quite quick. We just drove…

No we were lucky not to have to pay any extra, the topic of "the house price will increase" was certainly brought up many times but the majority of the…

Hi Mozzie
I am building the Hamilton 34, I just had a look at your blog and I have certainly experienced many similar issues to you with the administration side of…

Mikita: I am glad there is someone. Do you have a blog or photos posted somewhere?
VJ: I understand why you changed your mind we are stressing a bit now…

Hi Everyone,
I have been reading this forum for ages and finally decided to post. We are building the Hamilton 34 by Porter Davis in Melbourne's South Eastern suburbs. …
