For the people building with New South Homes, how is it going?

Thanks for that. I think the mortar has been sitting on these surfaces for approx a year. We’re at handover & they tried to get it off the rubber but…

Has anyone used a product called Cement Off to remove mortar and possibly render off black aluminium window frames & the rubber weather strip?
Does it work?
Thanks

These are photos of small sections as I don’t want to identify myself yet. All frames in the house have cement/mortar all over them, have had for months & months.…

Ok, so now I get the rubber strip is a weather seal. I presume it’s attached to the window frame somewhere. I’m ok with it being there; what I’m not…

I’m looking for thoughts on my windows in a new build.
I’m presuming the rubber flat on the sill is flashing? Is it normal to see it like this? Other…

Thanks for your comments.
There some stacks already in the plan. Another was needed apparently, and we had two bulkheads added in the ground floor. I just couldn't believe that these…

Hi, we're doing a double storey KDRB in Sydney, not experienced house builders. Small to medium company that do custom designs.
After slow going design and material selection stage, our slab…
