Metricon fought tooth an nail to not pay out for proven structural defects of the Softly house for years. 25 year warranty from Metricon? id like to see a successful…

what's the rationale on this? In my mind, the risk weepholes mitigate isn't solved by acrylic render.

sorta like all these 1-2 post profiles all piling on the builder here, huh?

what was it?

more importantly, did you find the ticking noise? rofl

Hopefully you're doing a story they didn't pay for. Take a look at the metricon dispoint3d home owners fb page. There are plenty of people who might want to…

have you considered tiling instead? Then you'd have that height to account for the tile glue and tiles. Alliteratively, youll need it screeded of you want levels to match

Not really. Its a civil matter, so if they came and ripped up your paving, you'd be eligible to sue them. Have you considered rocking up to his business…

unless you owned the property when they built the fence you are not liable for half. The developer is liable for half for any unsold plots that required fencing before…

Sounds like an absolute nightmare...
Could you go to a current affair or something as a last-ditch effort?
So sorry this has happened to you, Tim Like

its also got to do with total draw. Get 3 phase every time. Usually its a minor cost of upgrade - 1-3k on your build contract. Dont know if battle…

Softley Vs Metricon. Appeal lost by Metricon in the supreme court also.

"Appears to be" is not the same as "is". You have had a pretty esteemed builder already give you their opinion.
With a fix of the leak and grouting of…

i think you need to look at this a little more objectively, if the waterproofing was up to code, your cabinets a meter away wouldn't be water damaged.

The extractor fan is sufficient to prevent mould. Id be looking to see if there is a leak in the roof above the bathroom.
As to replacing windows, its a…

So I know you KNOW this, being in business yourself AND having worked for a big volume builder... but economies of scale work in all sorts of ways. 600 bucks…

If…

this sounds like you overestimated you ability to understand your contractual terms and obligations. Why you didn't get legal advice the moment their lawyer was involved is beyond me. This…

so ask the council lol

there's too many variable to give you a straight answer. If its a volume builder, it does seem on the high side. If its custom/semi custom it may be right…
