As I said, it's not itemised in the electrical selections paperwork, so I guess it's hidden in the cost of the induction cooktop?

The house is finished and I have one

There is no mention of it on the electrical variations, neither the plan nor the costings.

Yes, they did.

To make sure the meter box is big enough. We have ended up with no circuit breaker positions left so installing the Aircon means we will have to add…

Incorrect, I've done both in the same conduit.

Why is 1 not enough? What are you intending to order from the carriers!?!?

When we did it last year, we signed the incorrect contract and then a variation. The contract was never redone. This just seems to be how they do it,…

We were told it very much depends on the color of the sand which naturally varies

How is it different from having a fence there from that perspective?

For us it was an HIA specification document, the HIA contract document states the order of precedents of the contract.

I agree with you, but at this point the deal's already done so it's too late to change that.
Best case you might be able to get some compensation but you're…

Sure, but that is not your new neighbors fault.

According to what our builder told us, they can go ahead and remove the fence and build on the boundary even without you signing the letter.
In that case the boundary…

They tried to put the base price of the house up on us, so keep an eye out for that... no excuses for that changing!

Whilst we didn't increase our ceiling heights (they were already 2.7m) we did increase the garage door height from 2.15m to 2.372m - that was as high as it was…

It depends a lot on if you are living in the house, renting it out or if it's empty.
We demolished earlier this year, before we had even submitted for council…

We removed a lot of ours, I can't seem to find your plans in your thread to see your voids though.

Damn you guys are right. How do variations work once construction starts? We're getting slabbed in the next week or so.

in what context?

Yep we got the plans and various documentation. That way we could go to the prelim contract appointment prepared to address all of the things that they got wrong.

Selections for us..

The local telephone exchange had a fire and melted... No doubt Telstra are doing all they can to get things going again but it takes time!

Some real golden ideas in this thread!

That picture is of the alarm system, not a network wiring hub etc.

Considering building with Metricon in Adelaide.
Does anyone have any information about:
- What suppliers they use here and selections?
- What they are like to deal with
- Things to watch out for…
