Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Boutique Homes 2199May 19, 2016 7:29 am tinaC Ozden86 tinaC We are engaged with Darbecca atm as our independent inspector and I couldn't recommend them highly enough! They've really picked up things that we wouldn't be able to notice or care to notice! Best money we've spent throughout this whole build!!! We've decide to have them go through all stages of the build including waterproofing and it's been a totally hassle free process. I am glad you are happy with them, do you have Rod? Brett? Darren? We have Rod attending all our inspections, have you actually attended any of the inspections with them? We have Brett and he's been a godsend honestly! He's been really onto it which is what you want in a build! Update: Our house only had 3 minor defects during the fixing stage which is AWESOME!!! Go Boutique Homes HAHA! Hi Tina!! My partner and I still have a while away until we break ground. We've recently just had our colours appointment and will have our electrical this Monday! But our land isn't expected to title until Nov this year. Very small estate (around 300 homes - Haven Estate in Tarneit) which hopefully will help getting subdivision/title across the line quicker than the larger estates that have lots of stages! (One can only hope) I'm OCD when it comes to planning and organising so already starting to research building inspectors. Have read from a few people that Darbecca are very reputable so have placed them on my "list of important expenditures". Ha. Did you have coatings for Darbecca? Did you use them at each stage? If anyone else has some reputable companies they can recommend with estimates of coatings that would be much appreciated!! Thanks!!
