Put ours against the wall and feel it is fine but we made it wider by 1 door too.

Interesting we didn't get asked or told about this upgrade option or the sound insulation.

The joins are being made in the wrong place around doors and windows. Joins should be toward the middle of the frame at least in from the corners to…

Or house passed PCI but the insulation bats were not laid in the roof and the weep holes were not up to code. Render work also deficient. Just…

Payment sent 2 business days prior to handover. Still lots to go then but confident they are getting things done and there will be a list of issues at…

Just had a building inspector go through the house. Was very worthwhile I would advise doing this.
He found the ceiling bats had not been installed. Oops! Also…

Our upstairs bathroom had the entire floor waterproofed up walls about 15cm and then they did the tile areas like shower walls up to just over the shower head connection…

We had $7,500 at electrical which was or biggest extra and seemed like we did very little for all that money. Total variations was about $14,000 but that included…

We got Bristile concrete roof tiles and from what I have seen they break very easily. Terracotta seems to be significantly stronger, so to me it would be a…

Consider CMA Homes. They are in North Lakes. We choose Clarendon over them but I would likely go to CMA next time. Build time with project builders is ridiculous…

Here is how the skirting looks ready for tile.

Yes, Skirting is what I called Baseboards.
So in the main areas they know I am tiling and raised them all off the slab by about 10mm. I…

Had some time with the SS today onsite doing checks. He has marked about 1,000 spots that need attention using red sticker dots. Most is some touch-up painting…

Well we finally have handover set for 16 June. This is 10 months since the contact was signed. Really didn't think it would take so long but guess it…

By 6 months I'll do the brick work myself or find someone else to do it. Time to start bribing the brickies with beer or anything else they fancy!
Must…

My SS does not call me thankfully. I can call him any time I want but generally don't. Yes I can see where it would be…

All has been going well for us overall. Certainly find the Clarendon team nice to deal with. I do find we are always learning though. …

Yippee Heidimikew.
Seems to move quickly from here. I'd say green is environmentally friendly.... but best not to be eating, sniffing or smoking them.
Oh and it is about making…

Thinking a spray with weed killer might be in order!
Did not like the idea of having to deal with a jungle later on our site.

Heidimikew, We are building in North Lakes.
Building a Clarendon Wentworth 35 in Qld

We have a rendered facade more based off the traditional but the plan changes made to meet covenant rules altered the front look significantly.
Building a Clarendon Wentworth 35 in…

Wentworth 35 with mods includes a 3rd garage.

Update. .. top roof is on. Making good progress overall on our build. Very pleased with the Clarendon team.

A friend has got an EZcast from ebay they use just like a Chromecast but cheaper and they then use Allcast app on their phone. I found my…

Some changes could be done at the colour selection time and were just put on the variation with no admin fee. Same with electrical changes made at the electric…

We had them extend the tile in our showers to the ceiling and did some extra tiling on walls . It was done when we had the tile…

I would suggest getting Google Chromecast. Lets you stream to tv or mirror your mobile device or laptop screen to the TV wirelessly.

We are progressing well with frame now done. All seems to have happened quite quickly.
