We have been in the house for 9 months and we are still waiting for them to come and fix things that are written in the contract before they started to build. The latest one, THEY had the house inspected, then refused to rectify all the things THEIR inspector said were wrong....??? Figure that one o...

If you want a nice flat lawn box it up and level the top soil, then roll all buggery out of it when you've watered it. Oh.. and be prepared to be tired/drunk afterwards if you lay 300m by yourself.... :lol:

We had a terible run with them... We are so very very disapointed with service they gave us and quality of the finished product, what was supposed to be our "Dream Home" for our family to grow up in is an ongoing nightmare. We honestly couldn't recommend them to anyone.

We used A&W Scott they do tarmac drives, they are Local (in Greenbank) and did a great job, polite, prompt, and the only Co that offered machine laid tar. Great job and less than 1/2 the price of concrete.

If you follow the instructions from the manufacturers you shouldn't have any problems.... a lot of the problems stem from the tallents / capabilities of the person putting the shed up. Here in Qld you have Titan.. and Adro and a couple of others, most will be happy to quote you for concrete and erec...

May 06, 2007 2:08 pm

Make sure you get EVERYTHING in writing and then check carefully the wording and the order of the words of your contract as we are in dispute with the builder. The way you interpret what is written may not be the way they do, and of course it wont be to your advantage. We now are entering into a dis...
