A normal painter can do it.
Just make sure you buy a good sealer.
I got one from Di Lorenzo. cost about $120 but it’s worth it.

I would suggest as follows.
Speak to an electrician, show them your plan and ask for a quote to put LEDS in the whole house where you want.
We had LEDs installed…

That is untrue. Maybe not near the bath, But you can get it near the basin or hidden underneath in the vanity.

Otherwise where else will you plug your hair dryer?

If you can, spray paint a marking on the concrete gutter (and back fence) in line with the peg.
If the peg goes missing at least you have a fall back…

I hear ya! I had the same issue. My concrete grinder is European and couldn’t believe the humps in the slab.
Even after telling M, over a year later they…

They don’t sell antennas in NSW from what I remember.
I had to do so mine post handover.

I got a folding version from bunnings called TopDry.

I wanted to preserve most of the yard as we don’t have much space so a foldable line was the way to…

So... anyone with a hebel house needs to know that after handover, you need to have the hebel sealed where the slab and hebel meet.
This was advised to me by…

Yes we are moving in slowly too. getting driveway poured in next week or so.

And We’re in!

yep. Make sure you check em.

I actually believe there are Two crews with Metricon.
Crew one only work on Signature Build homes.
Crew two is everyone else.
I’m glad to hear you have had a good experience with…

Ask for photos. They should have been done and pics taken before plaster went up.

How did your building inspector miss the laundry door and no weather tight frame?
There should be a proper door frame for your laundry door, It should have had flashing plus…

yes. You can get anything custom done if you have enough $.
If you want to use ikea stuff post handover make sure you check the depth is the same as…

Poor trades and then the site managers not chasing up on them to get the job done right.
Like any big business, M have large sub contracts with key suppliers. Their…

Promo was in NSW. You get 25 sq m for free plus tiling from the luxurious “Builders range”

Big news all... One year and 6 months on my PCI/Settlement is finally booked in for this Thursday.
I can’t wait.

M were running a promo when I bought my home with only 25 sq m of alfresco slab. I had to pay for the rest... another 4 sq m plus…

One year and 6 months on, we are finally getting our keys this week!
PC/ Settlement is happening this Thursday.
I cannot wait.
Hopefully they’ve fixed everything on the list.

House is looking great and the progress is really fast.
Are you using a Building inspector?

That’s shocking quality. Makes you wonder if they’re building a chicken pen or a house.

Thanks all for your input. I’ll have to have a chat with the CM tomorrow as I don’t have a SM anymore.
They’re really eager for PC to happen so this…

Anyone have any issues like this?

I Can’t believe they reduced designer roof insulation to r4.0 now. On Freedom/ Metro that’s ok, but not on Designer level homes.
It’s like how they deliberately don’t have a…

Congrats. Make sure you get the inspector to check the Concrete slab is level and poured within tolerance.
It might be an extra inspection but if the slab is not level,…

I used Tyrrells Building Inspectors. Ask for Alex Ohem.
They are in Sydney.

That’s good news. Maybe for extra peace of mind, ask what the price would be to
a) build solid slab over the area instead of waffle pod
b) cost to have…

I did.
Try for $60 per day not the standard $30 per workingday.
LDs are meant to be your best estimate of costs you are likely to incur if they run late.
Only…

That is ******* AF!
I had a similar issue where Metricon were not insulating my house in large areas of external wall. Eg around bath hob, behind overhead kitchen cabinets and…
