Good point. We do seem to be the only ones with this recurring issue. None of the other new builds either side of us or across the road are experiencing…

That was my exact initial reaction and this is what we are going to go back to them with - but they will probably come at us with legal jargon…

Hi all. Just wondering where we might stand on this issue. We have been in our new home just under 4 years. We have had water enter the home on…

Hi, I couldn’t find a similar topic. We have been in our home a little less than 2 years and our pipes have started making a hammering/knocking noise when the…

Yes exactly. That is what it is

We have actually finished building. There is no footpath and the measurements are from the curb back. That’s where our pegs were set out.

Hi all, might be a silly question but thought best to ask. We bought a small block of land 18mx25m (450sqm) in a new estate. Those boundary measurements are outlined…

Hi all. I have a question and not sure if it has been touched upon before. We are at frames and bricking stage in our build and obviously we are…

Thanks that was one of our options. Unfortunately way to exxy for us to have to fork out

We are taking the concrete as is with some upgrades. I will have to live with it. If I hate it that much after handover we will tile at our…

You could ask them to do an area which will be covered by something? Then sign off on that? If you’re not happy then you can look at other options.

Cheers and yes that is what I’m afraid of. I’m afraid I’ll have to be onsite for everything from here on. But if I can prevent any further major problems…

In NSW. At the end of the day I truly hope to come to some sort of a resolution with the builder. They do seem to be very concerned which…

Thank you. All I can suggest to you is get there before the polishing starts and talk to the tradies themselves and show them pictures and just make sure you…

Not necessarily. In nsw we have free government agencies to assist in this type of thing

I don’t think this information is correct. If your builder lays the wrong tiles or lays them crooked, they’re responsible for ripping them up and relaying them. Same goes if…

I agree with you. What quality assurance you would you have suggested? We tried to find out the exact time the floors were going to be done so we could…

Thanks! The tiles that will meet what was supposed to be the intended finish may not be cheap...that's their bill though right?

Thanks for your reply. They can't pour a thin layer over the top because of something about it not binding with the existing slab and shifting. They also can't repolish…

Thank you so kindly! Yes, to say I am heartbroken doesn't even begin to cut it. Polished concrete has been my dream floor for about 10 years now and this…

We are in the midst of building our custom home where our contract/selections were signed off on polished concrete flooring with partial exposure and a matte finish. Upon arriving at…

So I was given conflicting advice from 4 different people on 4 different occasions at council. You can view the plans but you have to go into council to view.…

Cheers!

Hi all, building in a new estate in NSW. A couple of the houses surrounding us have achieved consent via complying development. In this instance, I know we do not…

How do I find out my energy rating? I really don't want the low-e. I hate the colour
