I bought a 2.4L Powerfeed at the ‘big green shed‘ last weekend. I did also buy a hose-on pack for lawns that has the directions of how to refill using…

We are approaching the final few weeks of our build, with certificate of occupancy hopefully next week...
We have already been informed by the builder that under the new measures “We…

It may be just me, but I can’t make out your plans.
Who will be constructing the house? What materials will be used - in particular the exterior that will eventually…

I’m not a brick expert, but I would suggest that the end faces of the brick should be the same texture as the face (I.e. the bricked corners are the…

I don’t understand how your parents could not have been informed of the extra cost prior to the work being carried out? As mentioned above, it would have to be…

On the outer sides sounds good, as there is more space between the bowls than on the outer edges anyway. I just haven’t found any photos to show it done…

We don’t have a window splashback, but we have 740mm between bench and overheads and I don’t think it looks odd. We do have a bulkhead above the uppers as…

Some examples:

We have chosen concave circular vessel basins in our ensuite that will mean our countertop vessel mixer taps will be a tight squeeze behind, so our site supervisor has suggested…

We are about to have our tiling done by our builder, and noticed in a recent job of theirs that in each doorway of a wet area they have put…

We have chosen Polytec Stone Grey Matt for laundry (with Casastone laminate top) and guest bathroom vanity (with Everest Quantum Quartz top), and Canterbury Grey Matt for ensuite vanity (with…

That does not sound normal.
It sounds like perhaps a seal or stopper is failing to shut off air flow - either passive flow or from wind outside.

To finish off the story, we met with the experienced Burbank sales consultant to go over the plans I had sent them. Firstly the printer wouldn't work to be…

It seems the head office is willing to work with us using our original pricing and only charge a variation of $1420 (which is $5/m2 of the house) to do…

So it seems Burbank are digging in their heels. We have been told that we can no longer get the Big Deal promotion we signed up with (pay $40k…

Where are you building Frank?
We are in outer West of Melbourne. Ours is single storey so I’m hoping 6-8 months will cover it.

We had the meeting with our "experienced sales consultant" yesterday which was a bit of a mixed bag. She was very pleasant and noted down all of the changes…

I feel your pain Ben.
We are in the negotiating phase with Burbank to build the Spotswood with modifications. We paid our initial deposit November last year (over 12 months…

A few months back our original sales rep from Burbank emailed to let us know he was moving to another company and we would be able to continue communications with…

We found with council permits, digging posts, bearers, etc. it was easier and cheaper for us to lay a concrete slab and build a deck on top - no council…

Things I would not get the builder to include are driveways (and relevant paths), carpets, curtains, antenna or anything else outside of the build itself. The builder will contract these…

I am finalising the kitchen layout and design for our new build. Originally I thought I'd include the upgrade to integrated dishwasher through the builder, but it seems quite expensive…

I much prefer the adjusted layout. Also with the dining/living consider where you will use each space and what furniture you will have and where it will fit. It makes…

First thing is the orientation. I'm assuming the arrow is north, in which case the garage has the prime position unless you live in far north of the country where…

We finally received an update from the land developer this week, saying our land title will be delayed and they are now expecting Feb-April 2018 due to a drainage strategy…

Is there any chance you could just swap the Family and Kitchen/Pantry/Laundry? You could rotate the kitchen 90 degrees so it faces the outside alfresco(?) or wraps around with an…

The reason I heard most eaves are a light colour is to reflect more light into the rooms. I imagine dark eaves will darken the internal rooms.

My main concerns would be:
It is always a preference for me to have a toilet on an external wall if at all possible for natural ventilation - if it were…

Thanks for your explanation.
So at the front if the FS19.95 and FR20.31, is the FS the footpath height of 19.95 and the height of the land at the top of…
