I doubt a builder could do…

Be firm on what you have them signed up for, if it is clear the posts are to be a certain colour well it will be obvious, if the wall…

Stewie is 9n the money. Best of luck with it!

What is the question? As a builder I simply call hydronic installers and get their advice. Best way to get quality insights.
Good luck

I would'nt stress as the warranty is the same, just be mindful that you will be contracted to that builder not the builder you first spoke with. So just make…

Linen cupboard it is!

I've reviewed a mates contract with Carlise Homes and it simply rejects anything relating to what the private building inspect picks up and if they find anything the costs go…
