Does anyone have a link of copy of AS1839 standard? The only copy online you have to pay for... ?
I was just wondering how much bowing is acceptable on a…

LOL we have piers and nothing else.. They forgot to file the plumbing paperwork for approval.. blamed me.. well their certifier did anyway.. So all 'work' had to stop on…

You know what, they all might be 12 months now. I was just going off what the QBCC building ispector was telling me.
Make sure though that it states Oracle…

Not sure if HIA is state by state? I know they changed the legislation, used to be 6 months and 6 months for the QBCC also in Qld.

Yep they are horrible when I called yesterday they were appallingly rude to me!! She was trying to tell me they have 12 mths to fix these things and not…

Jamie, call the QBCC on 139 333, do not hesitate just call them. You will get a building inspector assinged to you and a case number. They will put a…

Jamie, those lights on the columns.. they're out by 1 brick.. 8 bricks above the left light, 7 bricks above the right light. Get em back to fix that one.

Grey is in right now. We're going with our own flooring and carpets and yep, they're both grey!
Arruzo montana grey Allurelok gen4 click flooring and a grey mohawk smartstrand…

Who did you call Jamie? Who is Fair Works? They seem to deal with employees and wages?
And the QBA is the Qld Bridge Association?
I could only find the QBCC? Is…

Jamie. Go here http://www.qbcc.qld.gov.au/building-com ... -completed
I know what you mean about communication it's so bad. they are so stretched and under staffed and I really do…

That sucks. I wouldn't settle for anything less than the right tiles there. You'll regret it later, even if it means a 2 week delay now.
Good luck with that.

I believe this is the one that was on the news a while ago, but no mention of waffle pods in the article.

I remember one on the news perhaps this…

That's good to hear Jamie. Love those bricks btw! I know their display home over at Jimboomba is pretty immaculate but I was a bit iffy thinking it's a display…

Looking good Jamie! How have you found the build quality so far? or too early to tell at this stage?

Yeah I don't think they sheet down the sides or back of the bath? So why would it need to be there?
Unless they're claiming they want it installed before they…

Thanks Pink, nice of you to say.
Yeah I'm really looking past it. annoying things happen, people get wrong advice even at the top level.
cheers!

I met the site manager a few weeks back... I guess we're just not that far along for them to be paying too much attention..
A painful episode but we'll get…

Well.. sigh... off to a pretty crappy start.. Soil test guys stuffed up location of bore holes from their hand drawing to computer drawing, they went from 38 metres to…

I finally worked it out! here we go.
It's not as large as I uploaded, size limit I guess.

The main mods and addons were: (from left to right sort of)
Bed…

They're not going to please everyone, none of them do. They're a medium sized company and I've found them pretty good so far. We had a hickup with our deposit…

Yeah I'm not sure they'll tell you what the tiles are worth per sq metre unless you're getting more tiles they'll price it up accordingly.
I've never seen any builder itemise…

iives,
we're building a modified Watagan too in Qld. So far so good. Only in planning, quoting stages now but plans being drawn up now and soil test being ordered…

I know I sound like a d#ck in those few posts, but sometimes it takes a little pushing around to get to the core of the problems and sometimes the…

Still so emotional, just settle down and remove the emotion and you might snap out of it.
Yes real valid opinions speaking truth and actual facts which I haven't seen much…

LOL someone's overly emotional. All it says is you do lots of assuming and guessing.
I think what you need to understand is you're not the only one having a home…

Yeah but they don't all have the same start times... Of course others are going to be before yours, they got theirs in before you did.
Yours being in ordering for…

I'm quite certain they have. I brought it to their attention last week if they hadn't already seen it that is.

Honestly. I cant wait for that day, but i'm being realistic thinking council will be another week with our DA approval (it's approved, just in line to be stamped and…

Thanks for explaining and sorry if it seemed like I was hassling you, just trying to see the bigger picture.
Hey Congrats on the start, you must feel very relieved about…

But who was the private certifier? He is the one who held up your CC for how long? 10 weeks? 12 weeks?
If he was not afiliated with Oracle why…
