Well after some discussions with the builder, they did agree to pull up the main visible problems areas ('lumpy' bits) and get replacement planks re-laid. It was…

There is documentation that goes with the guarantee. It's mentioned in there.
Another bit of a hassle is that C wouldn't install appliances or heating cooling commissioning until after…

We are installing 3 split system reverse cycle air-conditioners as 'owner supplied' items. We are using a company recommended to us by our builder, and they…

Yesterday we had the electric hot water system removed (sold on gumtree! $$) and solar hot water installed. The concrete company was also there to do all the excavation, as…
