I can reassure you that Charlotte is not too relaxed in her new home, having taken 14 months to build, we have only just moved in.
Lots of boxes and rooms…

The following response from our BC (after 3 weeks delay from when we sent our email)

Apologies for the late reply in regards to your dispute email below.
I have discussion with…

It would appear that they are sending out letters to people who have signed their contracts last year, which do not have any indication that extra time will be added…

I also received 2 letters from Porter Davis 3 weeks ago adding 7 days for each independent inspection.
My problem with this situation is that I have signed a contract that…

Congratulations Shane
Must feel great to finally get started with your build
Best of luck

If you have managed to secure fixed site costs, just make sure it is clearly stated in your quote document and that the wording continues throughout all subsequent quotes/Tender document/Contract…

There you go, I told you they’d be off to your house now that they have finished with ours

I hope for your sake that they hurry up and get the Hebel sorted quickly. I have read a couple other instances where people have been waiting for their…

Michael, our site scrape was a month earlier than yours, but we then had a one month wait till the framer was able to start.
Your internals are a lot further…

They have finished the Hebel on our house this week, hopefully they are off to your place next to finish your exterior

That is one beautiful house you have there.

What a pain
Fingers crossed for Monday

Good luck

We found ourselves in exactly the same position last weekend.
We are at framing stage and went out to site to check on the progress. We measured up…

This is with cornice

This is square set finish and needs to be requested during your tiling appointment at WOS, otherwise you end up with the cornice finishing like the rest of the house

When I read PCI on April 10th I was going to congratulate you, but then I looked at your pictures, I can't see your house being ready by Tuesday…

I think you make have lucked out there Mik

Correct we have fly screens on our standard sliding doors
I have just read on the A&L website that they do have fly screen options available for a limited range of…

A&L website say you can get flyscreens for boutique sliding doors, although they have limited sizes

I do not believe they come as standard, we have added flycreens to our sliding doors, so we will get the doors with the extra rail.
I understand PD will only…

Unfortunately MyAir controls Samsung, Daikin, Fujitsu, LG, Panasonic, Toshiba, Hitachi, Mitsubishi Electric, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Carrier and Midea air-conditioners.
