I haven't posted here since we finished but now that I know M are reading I'll post an update.
We finished back in Jul 12. Had our 90 day maintenance in…

Yep I'd say that would be why ours was only 26 weeks.
We are in but not settled. I only just finished the last of the painting this Sunday gone. Doors…

Ours was 130 working days.

I think you guys are missing the point of the 4 week reduction. As free will has pointed out, you are paying for a reduction in contract period, not a…

We have 9 outlets in a single storey.
We have the standard system and it is more than cool/warm enough. Our compressor is well away from any living areas, it's outside…

We had a similar experience, we just wanted to swap one outlet type for another but that led to an argument with the idiot consultant. We also wanted to put…

Just hope that you don't get much rain. We had clay all around our place and every tradie that went through after it was wet would use whatever was closest…

I can't understand this theory. Maybe if you tell them "there's more where that came from if the build goes well", it would work to your advantage.
If they went above…

Absolutely, no question about it.

brendanb21 - You building in Cameron Park? We aren't far away from you, in Fletcher. I'm surprised at the number of Hunter people in this thread. Is it 6 active?

They had a charge of $480 for upgrade to 3 Phase in our tender but we wrangled it for free.
We also had our meter box installed by M as part…

I got the standard system, only paid $316 for one extra zone, unit is working brilliantly.

It is most probably manufacturer/model specific. We went with the standard model.

This is what our Temperzone does. Zone 1 has to always be on if the system is on. We have 3 zones so we can have Zone 1 by itself…

Reed switches are a bit of overkill IMO. I have enough PIR's to cover all areas, if they go through a window they can't avoid them. I will be replacing…

We had the tiler back today to finish tiling up behind the range hood where the electricians damaged the gyprock. I'm sure none of you will be surprised to hear…

Looks like everyone is moving along nicely. PS_Sirocco7, Dani, PowerballSam and KDLEN congrats on reaching the fun part. Vatche you're almost there.
We are still waiting on outstanding PCI items to…

Glad you like it We are very happy with our floors as well.
The Theatre is painted in Dulux Teahouse, walls/ceiling/aircon duct using Wash and Wear Matt and the Trim/Door using…

Well life sucks with no internet I tell you. Now that I finally have limited access I will put some photos up for you. Painting is all finished apart from…

Over the last 3 days we have installed 37 down lights and down a massive clean of the house ready to move in tomorrow. I'm so glad I don't have…

Guys just for some perspective on the construction time of M, we have Eden Braes building all around us at the moment. One behind started2 months before us, still not…

Novo - Glad to hear you are happy and your house is well built. Good luck with your Bamboo flooring, we had a little over 100m2 and it took the…

The last two days were a bit bitter sweet for us. The good points were that all of our flooring was completed yesterday and we are very happy with the…

Yes we have been very busy but we are still living around the corner from you. The plan was to move on Sunday but M have buggered that for us.

In new estates this is generally because the developers top fill the sites with low quality clay based soil to level out the land somewhat. That is the case in…

Having seen the size of their garage first hand I am also jealous, its massive.

Hopefully I will have lots of pics for you early next week.

It's just confirming the final price and signing off on it and the construction plans.

I like to think I'm a bit of handyman but it doesn't always turn out so well.

Our flooring started today. We are so very happy with our choice of Bamboo colour and also very happy we decided to pay to have it installed. I know it…
