Patio Roof Trusses

No thats prefab. By stick build I mean conventional roof framing.

If your going to make your own trusses you might as well just stick build the roof instead to save yourself some time.

Eaves - 450mm vs 600mm

Is it just the way it looks in that pic or is the eave on the right hand side and the front of the garage 450mm?

$53,000 for bricklaying (LABOUR ONLY)

Dont bother with that guy!

Unreliable Tradesman - Fencing Quote Needed

Supply and labour should roughly be $60 per metre plus $5-$10 dollars per metre to remove the old fence.

Fixed interest rates

^^ Thats why its good to have a good broker to help with your loan.

That price is ridiculous. A rough price would be $1 per brick if they supply sand and cement plus extras for sills and 2nd story etc.

cost of merbau

Good point about the exchange rate Duke.

cost of merbau

Merbau is becoming more expensive and and the availability is slowly starting to diminish which is why a lot of timber yards are starting to stock more cheaper alternatives.
From memory…

You would need to talk to your local council and they will tell you the way to go about it.

Ducted heating blows cold air first 20-30 seconds.

What is the problem here? 20 seconds 30 seconds what does it matter? Its basic common sense isn't it? You cant expect instant heat.

Sounds expensive, I would want a surveillance camera included for that price.

Hebal is ok to use but there are a few other products out there that are similar such as polystyrene cladding which have some added benefits like insulation.

Dark render on blueboard? Is it ok?

colour shouldn't matter and I would think that darker colours would hide any flaws that may appear.

Colex Homes

That's definitely not right and there should be a final walk through (pre handover inspection) before the handover is finalised. What you describe doesn't sound right to me.
