Yes definitely will update when the time comes, I have hired an private inspector. It is a necessity in my opinion. Not really even about workmanship in some cases but…

I am currently building with them, they are good value for money.
However I am having some issues at this current time, nothing that can't be rectified, but I will with-hold…

Do you think this fix would be passed a building certifer?
I talked to an building certifer the other day and he says in his 15 years of experience working…

Looks like the builder is sticking to their 'hardwood' fix. Guarantee to pass a building certifier and also certified by an engineer.
Let's hope it doesn't cause brick overhang and…

Yes I will make sure I ask for engineering details for the fix! Going out to measure the slab today , I suspected the very expensive H2 waffle pod slab…

haha well spotted, my secret is out.

That 8cm overhang had to come from somewhere my best…

Yeah that's crazy 5 months over ?
Do you mean ontop of your designated build time? How long was your build in total?

Hi,

I spotted a fine detail which is most likely a typo , it says my build time is…

Yeah I agree.
My builder charges 150$ per LED downlight.
Going for bare minimum in each area just for the connection. Then will call an sparky afterwards to connect as many as…

Yeah Builder tried to quote me for a 3-phase upgrade. For adding an induction cooktop.
I ended up arguing about it and reduced to normal single phase.
You really shouldn't be paying…

I'm on the end of Beesand Street. One of the 20m frontage ones.

Which stage are you on?
It's a surprise for such an huge cost, but if everyone is coming up with similar costs then it makes me feel much better.

Yeah original quote is on M slab.
Are in your Carson stage?
I'm on Beesand Street.

Building in Carson release builder just came back with H2 slab upgrade for $12000
Anyone had the same slab level needed as well ?

Hi All,
Just wondering if anyone can share some details about what class their soil test is?
