Crossover repair is mostly on owner even if they destroy it beyond recognition. There were a few cracks on pavement prior to pd starting and they won't repair those sections…

Draft proofing our house has been Awful since handover. We waited for our new front door because the one they installed prior to handover was bowed. New one arrived and…

Quick positive feedback re our SS who has had a tough run few a few months dealing with almost 20 houses. Despite this we had our PCI and almost all…

A few more months is a guess between painting and PCI. It all seems to slows down and so many various contractors start after painters, everyone got their own micro…

We are potentially week and a half from handover and i haven't yet booked a removalist as not set date yet! Lots of quotes obtained and they vary a lot.…

We are up to PCI and I put together a list of things to think about for our build, might help someone else later on if you need.
We've had private…

Fantastic. All sounds very exciting. I just had private inspection PCI pushed back a week, it was meant to be tomorrow morning. Luckily I didn't get charged change fee from…

How super exciting, you're a week or two ahead of us. How was PCI? Any tips? What's a riser pipe?
We had extra soil and mulch brought in around around slab.…

Absolutely get one. It makes you better informed 100% more access to issues info and resolutions.
We even paid extra inspections when we felt we were not confident things were…

Oh Im jealous you got the A&L slider door, they are nicer than stegbar ones & the fact you can put on a screen after handover is a bonus. Lucky…

Yes if you have a stegbar door you can only get it if the door has an extra rail added at time of manufacture. PD won't do this as it…

I just went to look and the tiler said it's 2mm not 3mm. I measured it 3mm. I really don't understand them. I said to him we wanted and paid…

Our house coming along nicely and we are loving the Sandringham look. Slab pour was a few days before christmas and its now May and they say they will be…

Just saw all our tiles have been delivered onsite and confirmed with our SS that PD do NOT seal tiles and that can be done post handover, particularly the grout…

An Update re slab. Our private inspector reviewed the house yesterday and wasn't too concerned about most areas despite them not looking too pretty at the moment. The exposed steel…

Good to hear it looks better once rendered and hopefully it lasts. Inspector coming Monday and meeting supervisor Tuesday.

Yes the stress is high (hubby having sleepless nights). Here is picture of exposed steel. Didn't realise that is the bigger issue of it all, Im really out of my…

Thanks guys for replying. I guess I've known that the workmanship was really bad but assumed wrongly that they would do repairs properly. Got a site inspection on Tuesday with…

Can anyone advise what type of slab repairs they got and are they similar to this? We have hebel not brick home. Some overhangs of hebel are the full depth…

I heard 3 SS resigned recently, hence my supervisor has been looking after 21 builds. He's a good guy but our build supervision has suffered and I'm annoyed. So many…

Bedroom wardrobes have been a surprise issue for us this week. Just check your contract to see if your wardrobe fitouts are actually included, ours were missed although we thought…

Great to see how you've done that as I hadn't thought about drainage off run drains yet.
Thanks for posting, it looks great.

Ours look the same now they have been corrected. Initially Stegbar installed a pattern glaze as order was wrong, pd admitted error and replaced once I proved I ordered translucent.

Absolutely yes, they inspect the day before the pour and well worth it.

Will let you all know how I tackle it soon. Searching pinterest for ideas at the moment!

We didn't do sarking either. Also were surprised about portico being lower and yet to think about how to tackle driveway front door issue levels.

House looking great. So nice to see another sandy being built and what a beautiful area to build ( I grew up in laburnum ).

Heres my list of Post Handover Tasks & things to buy
• Spare set of keys
• Council
• Crossover repair & widening (get deposit back from council)
• Order 2nd recycling bin from council
• Car permits…

We went with PD flooring after going to I think 7 floor companies we just decided the hassle vs the slight savings we couldn't deal with along with delay to…

Super happy to find out today our build should be finished in July. PD doing a great job and will be finished 2 months early at this rate. Trying to…
