Sadly I don't think you can choose your site supervisor.
I've had dealings with both and have nothing but the best things to say about both of them. They turned my…

(obviously, I am only an internet armchair warrior so this is not legal advice)
I think you will find this comes under reasonableness. They need to actually complete a stage in…

I'm not too sure what you mean by "telephone line from scratch", do you mean the old twisted pair wire? If this is the case then unless you are in…

Page 14 lays out the amended policy rules. Basically - if you can get FTTP then there will be no copper infrastructure.

Line run from the street to the house? or cabled internally?
AFAIK, the law is such that there will be nothing at the street for you to connect your copper line.…

Hi there,
I was going to put downlights everywhere, but in the end got three pin plugs in the ceiling instead - They were going to charge $120/downlight and the actual…

Sockitz have an advantage over the other items here in that they are designed as a drop in replacement to a standard GPO and at their full price (approx $42)…

Wow, way to not understand the link you posted. The link you posted was detailing issues with cable length, not with converting between an HDMI cable and an ethernet extension.
The…

Wait, what?
While this may be slightly off topic to this forum, please stop spreading this FUD.
The thing with digital is that things can be perfectly replicated. The way this is…

I got two of these, one each end of the house and they should cover me off for wireless quite happily.

There are also cheaper (non 802.11ac)…

HDMI is a digital format, so converting between mediums wont change the "quality" of the signal, a 1 is a 1 and a 0 is still a 0. You do…

Just make sure you get a fixed price contract and ensure this covers site works..
Mine came back all happy as well then two weeks before built they added an extra…

Oh, and this sounds like the developer changed telecommunications providers half way through, this is not that uncommon. It sounds like the first half of the estate was cabled with…

Basically, I'm assuming when you talk about "wiring for copper" you are meaning the old copper network that will connect to your house, not your internal wiring (even if you…

If it is a new estate then D is not an option. Any new estate must be cabled with fibre. You should be able to follow the NBN rollout timelines…

Of note - this is what I'm talking about - the numbers are the ones in the corner of the property at both the back and the front of the…

Hi Guys,
I'm trying to read and understand the developers engineering report that lays out things such as fill depths on your section of land.
There are a bunch of numbers that…

Hi Guys,
Does anyone know what is included in the NBN Pack for approx $500? I assume it's something outside the $1500 put aside for an NBN connection? to a new…

No need to feel blonde, I had the same question when they were talking about it and looked it up
This may explain a little.

Hi Guys,
I was just canvassing for average prices of data points that people have been quoted by builders.
Not really interested in who the electrician/builder is, more on a cross section…

Hey travelbugvee, and welcome.
I tried to get this done as well and was told it was not something they do and that it would "confuse the plumber"..
The interesting thing is,…

I experienced pretty much as Shellzmac said - no negotiations.
That being said, some here have had some success, although I'd say your best bet is going to be before signing…

Rule number one I've discovered is never believe any date the builder tells you, ever.
Of course, this doesn't help you much in your current situation but the only way to…

Yep, I had it extended to fit a roller door at the back instead of the standard door - I think it was widened by about an extra 1.6 to…

Saratoga (Point Cook) - but close

Well, my builds started as well. Surprising how well the construction phase is going after all the problems with the pre construction phase.
The house to the left of mine is…

Hey Marcoakis,
Welcome
Also, take a print out of the "things people forget when building a house" and bring it with you to discuss what the builder…

Yeah, this isn't the first time it's happened and I've had to re-highlight the correct plan versions, right up to and including signing my HIA contract that also had the…

I just got my developers approval through today and noticed that a number of alterations I'd requested and they had agreed to were not on the plans - things…
