We are having a lot of trouble with our build. I'm fed up and will be sharing all on here very soon if we don't see real progress and responses…

We also had a $10K provision in our contract. Hydraulics need to be submitted with your DA to Council. So the hydraulic engineer will prepare the hydraulic plan as part…

$5.5K for mine but we were lucky as we have an existing storm water pit on the back boundary so the cost is just for extra downpipes and to run…
