We had final handover inspection Wednesday this week and went generally well. Sliding door tracks are still so badly damaged and jacked the doors can’t slide, but are due to…

Hi Home dreams
Ours free period was a 12 week period from contract signing to them ready to start on site. They took 4 weeks to lodge the development application, council…

You can’t be charged for longer fence hire, longer toilet hire etc as that’s the builders issue. Also any rubbishy dumped on site after you handover to them is their…

We have a villina 36 and wardrobes are a single upper shelf and rail below. Ours was installed just before Christmas.

We have the inbuilt kitchen bin upgrade and also had a matching createc panel behind range hood added in otherwise you get white MDF. Also had a bench (1.2m with…

Good luck SK and your in for a long journey over the next 18 months. We are also building in the shire and should be finished in approx 1 month…

Congrats on action for 2018! I went past ours every day this week and no one working at all even after they started back Monday this week, not surprised given…

Wow you have Tradies working already, no one will be at ours until 16/01 at least. I’d question your render as it also look like an amateur did it also.

We had our power connected 6 months ago, not sure why yours is taking soo long. Our SS is away until end of Jan and they have quite a bit…

We are building a Masterton Villina 36 in Sutherland shire area. The shelf is main bathroom only and has a mirror from bottom of shelf to bulkhead.
We started construction…

I don’t have a thread as such but have made a few posts on this one (Masterton 4.0)

Had a meeting with our SS today,…

If they didn’t book trades in a month ago they won’t be turning up now to do work. We are so close to completion yet even little things like missing…

I have, this is the one they put in our front balcony area. All down pipes are round yet they did this one as rectangular, like come on really?

Congrats bee prelude
Is it normal for M to have handover and then install carpet two weeks later? I would have thought if you are paying them to install as part…

Congrats bee prelude.
We are pushing M for work to be done as quick as possible but it’s slow, for those that said 5-8 weeks PC after gyprock you must…

Well had enough last week as Tuesday kitchen people advised SS that kitchen didn’t fit by 500mm even though its standard house plan, met SS on Friday and kitchen people…

That’s what happened with our new SS at first, but now we are close to PC (kitchen in) but no trades been to site all week! So frustrating just when…

Hi Izzysyd
Masterton in our area and our house are terribly slow. It all comes down to your SS and how good or bad they are. Our old SS has to…

I can’t imagine major building work would be outstanding and still get PCI. If it’s a minor item or defect that wouldn’t stop you using the space, like a paint…

That brickwork was done by an amateur! Our brickies were very slow but did a great job. Definetly get a building inspector in, and give your builder the report. If…

Worst case scenario is we are into our 5th SS since construction started 02 November 2016, and we don’t even have the GF eaves installed not any gyprock internally so…

Our site sat for 4.5weeks with no work as they forgot to order the frames, and we have that in writing from our SS back then. They can't claim wet…

Hi Shiraz
They will definetly go over time as I don't know any being completed on time. We are 11 months in and we don't even have the roof completed or…

Hi all, anyone had damaged sliding door tracks? How east are they to fix if they have severely bent and buckled the bottom track? Do they need to replace the…

Hi Gibson, all I was pointing out is that they cant run late on the build and then say "oh it was wet weather 6 months ago and we now…

Hi Gibson,
How can they hit you with rain days at the end of the project if they didn't notify you when the rain occurred? They need to let you know…

Hi martinsHatmony
Carpet looks good with your walls and trim colour so I'd be happy with that. We went very nuetral internally also so we have a darker carpet colour too.…

Jol0, We are onto our 5th site supervisor and are 10 months in and at the same position. Will be 2 years in November this year and I have doubts…
