Hi Zoe,
I think we have spoken briefly in the TA Facebook group. Same names as our username here.
We are using Darbecca. Luckily, our SS has been receptive to fixing issues,…

This post of yours has not aged well... Specifically around the maintenance of the expected "boutique" level. 😂

Sorry to hear mate.. really disappointing and doesn't really align with their "incredible passion and attention to detail".
Do you have an update on this?

Hi! Hope you are well. Just wanted to let you know about our journey and hopefully it may help you out.
We signed tender in Aug 21, and was told…

Hi guys. Sorry we've been MIA, have had lots of things come up (like having another kid!) that has made us completely forget about this thread.
A quick update, and…

Can't comment on this, but our BC has been awesome. Maybe 2 day reply tops. And the replies have been very thorough and answers everything even if I list 20…

We came in at about 17kish per square.

Hey deepudips
1. Our frontage is curved, but is about 16.5m frontage. I do but I'll have to grab it and post it later…

Wooooo! Awesome how exciting. Any pics to share?

Sorry I can't help much here - we are using stone as splashbacks and never enquired about glass. Hopefully someone has an answer for you!

Hi maverick123 - We haven't received that information yet, I'm guessing we'll find our when we receive all our contract drawings. I'll keep…

Quick update: We have officially entered the contract stage!
Now it's time to get all of our pre-site preparations done..

One thing that really solidified our choice to go full electric was our gas bill for the last month. We have a 2 year old so the heater is on…

Hello! Awesome to see another build thread! We are just about to sign off on our Tender and move into contract stage. So not far ahead! Will be following your…

A few reasons:
Sanden uses 0.84kw of power to output 5kw of heat for a COP of 5.96, compared to the Rinnai at a COP of 4.
The Sanden unit is…

Thanks for the info rockedout !
Update on the Heat pump hot water unit, we weren't able to skip the water tank, so we…

*edit* double post

To be honest with you, I am also not opposed to it. I'm all for renewable energy/sustainable living. Though the cost of the tank was something that I found hard…

Thanks to Wellbuild, I understood the rules around this and also the loophole, and hopefully this helps someone in the future. (for clarity,…

We actually came in at $100K over our PSQ. But that wasn't a surprise to us as we added in direct stick flooring, the $27k actron system, the natural stone…

Update: We were given the option to get the Sanden unit (thank god). I just sent an email explaining why we shouldn't need a water tank (thanks

This pisses me off so much lol. It just wasn't making sense to me, they tried to explain it to me but I just couldn't understand why replacing the solar/gas…

Haha.. Update on the Anticon blanket. I was told they made a 'mistake' and adjusted it to $3,888.00
$1500 mistake.. lol

Aang no worries!
We did a custom joinery setup for the kitchen, wasn't really one of their options. We just told them exactly what…

Hi Legochan - Thanks!
I don't believe they do any promotions/discounts like you see with other volume builders. I'd take caution with those though,…

Thanks aang - I have raised a query with them to ask why our price is so high. Interested to know their justification.

Hi Wellbuild !
We asked for Anticon 60 to be included in our tender, and they came back with:
Provide 60mm Anticon Blanket under roof…

Yeah! Definitely nerve racking for us too! Our first house build as well, but luckily for my wife I love budgeting & costing spreadsheets lol (she haaaates it!)
Carpet upgrade:
Roughly $3k…

Hey Aang
Sure I can share the rough prices, but they are particular to our spec so take them with a grain of…

Haha I don't think I can handle a dollar more than the Actron. I am actually not particularly a HVAC snob, just that I am basically goldilocks when it comes…
