We are trying to decide the best method and future proofing our toilet installs. I understand S-Trap is widely accepted but is also old-school and P-Trap makes more sense based on what I have read so far. My questions: a. Are there any standards in Australia for new builds that describe the advantag...

There has been some discussions on this topic here previously and we are looking to engage a Building Inspector independent of what is required by the builder, back or CC etc. The objective is to ensure the quality of the works performed by the builder at each stage or milestone are reviewed thoroug...

We have been on an arduous journey with our new home build but things seem to start moving into the next phase since the concrete waffle pods were done in August (2023). The concrete is obviously well cured but also exposed for 100+ days. Concrete used was 32mpa and see very minor cracks where the d...

We are evaluating this Alphafloor and the Alphapanel as an alternative - the specifications on paper seem impressive but not having anyone on this forum or elsewhere to provide real experiences is holding us back. BTW we did speak to some builders who have used this product and have received good fe...

How does the maximum of $340k work for claims (NSW iCare) - are there other sub-limits within each claim?

Your home facade looks great. How is it going so far? Keep the pics coming. Are you managing any of the Hebel and Steel procurement? Do you have any reputable contacts for these providers in Sydney?

Hi @Ashington Homes - great write up on your experience and thanks for sharing. Are you able to recommend steel frame and hebal providers/installers in Sydney? We have an approved plan with suspended floors and searching for a decent steel provider/installer that does not have pop rivets from factor...

What do you think of this facade - approved plans and now thinking of adding a bit more thickness to the glass frames. Double glazed glass all along with some element of tint expected.

I agree here with your response - I think councils can do a better job to provide guidance for housing along such motorways that would most likely be common for all residential properties (at the very least). Even more frustrating experience when we are told after 2 months of the application and jus...

Short answer is 'Yes' - let me know if you find a cheaper consultant https://legislation.nsw.gov.au/view/html/inforce/current/epi-2021-0732#sec.2.119

After a frustrating experience with council approvers on my DA (almost 3 months back and forth), they come up with the requirement to have an Acoustic Report since our residential building is next to a major motorway (fair distance but still a requirement) https://legislation.nsw.gov.au/view/html/in...

Maybe an easier way to explain would be by saying that if you want to use suspended expect to pay around $300-400,000 extra over the whole project based on a typical home. LOL, turn it up you're killing it with the extra over BS.(Humour) OT, It's time home owners wake up, shout out if you need acce...

I feel that in projects with suspended slabs there is just a much higher quality feeling overall. If you had sought proper engineering advice to start with you could have chosen a beam, steel truss, thin insitu one way slab. Too late now, Funny how builders are experts at stiffening up your upper t...
