We moved in last year and didn't get a new pole or the hub. We're on a corner block and the pole is right on our corner so we just…

Looks great. We didn't upgrade anything in the bathrooms. At least your window is accessible to open and close. In hindsight, I would have preferred 2 smaller windows that…

Wow - you have a lot of electrical happening there. We have been living in our house for a year now and still have a few odd repairs happening. A…

the other thing - everytime your plan comes back, make sure you check every single thing again with a fine tooth comb. I changed something in the plan (can't remember…

You have to go for a design that suits your own needs. We have Grandworth Mark III, but I didn't like the idea of having a sink in the island…

I loved the Newbury MKII design but we ended up going with Grandworth 40. I noticed the dining space was quite small in Newbury and they had a clear…

We put our rainwater tank, hot water and airconditioning unit all on the same side. That way it freed up one side completely for us. We are lucky though…

Hi, yes we had the Easybuild package which included the higher ceilings. I think it's 2.6m. We have the double stacker doors in the back, but the height…

Just don't rush into it. Unfortunately, they will keep putting the prices up every six months and they will have no problem telling you this to pressure you. …

Hi, we built with ACH and in the Ryde area and moved in six months ago. Be very careful with a sloping block and building with any high volume builder.…

I'm not technical, but Ryde Council has Flood Maps. They use to be on their website, but I can't seem to find them these days. I know they…

I sent you a PM

Hi Building expert - This may not be your area of expertise, but I'm desperate at this stage. I'll try and make this easy to understand.
We paid a large volume…

Items for the preparation of the slab are now arriving. I've been advised that they will endeavour to get to our site and work to ensure the slab is…

We have a 34 week contract, with the standard clause of rain dates, ie - an extra 2 days to dry out.

They are also not doing themselves any favours by way of reputation. I have the whole street, friends and family members continuously asking me why is there a delay.

No, no date as yet. I have sent an email today asking for a date and also indicating of my frustration. I know we had extra work because…

Yeah thanks Wazza. I sent an email yesterday and was told it didn't happen due to the weather. Well, it's been sunny now for at least 4 days…

I'm extremely annoyed. I know we have had rain, but this is getting ridiculous. I would have thought someone would have been there today. No-one has come…

WEEK 9 - Concrete slab still not poured. It did rain last Wednesday so not sure if that has affected it. Hopefully it will be done this week.…

WEEK 7 - Work is going on there today. They are now preparing the site for the concrete slab. I understand the concrete will be poured next…

WEEK 6 - Overburden of piering was taken away. Only 3 truckloads were taken away. It's raining today …

Piering took place yesterday (Thursday) as scheduled. Piers filled with concrete and now waiting to dry. Allcastle were spot on with the estimation of the piering we required.…

WEEK 5 - Piering is scheduled this Thursday. The weather forecast is for sunny for at least the next week, so here's hoping the piering goes according to schedule.

That's great news Wazza.

WEEK 4 - Fill going in and excavation started on the site last week. We did get rain yesterday, so this might delay more work at the moment.

3.30pm - Just received a phone call from Allcastle advising someone will start tomorrow. Fingers crossed.
**UPDATE *** Just drove home from work past the site and have found they…
