Did you find anyone? I use https://www.austwaterenv.com.au/ for my build. THey were quite professional.

I'll add a pic to help. SaveH20: 1a. Not sure of my 20:1 ARI . Im near Gawler SA. BOM Rainfall SIte says about 2% chance of filling 5KL tank in 4 minutes assuming tranfer pump doesnt turn on. 1b. Entire 370M2 Roof is diverted. 2. Yes 2 charged pipes. 3a. "Collection point' = the 5KL tank right ...

Just an after thought: Of course the fine sediment will go through the filter, and slowly build up in the 5KL transfer tank. Ill need to vacuum that out every few seasons.

Here's how Ive done my rain water system. Its similar in terms of have 2 tank sites and transfer between. Im lucky not to have leaf problem.

Hi, Just thought Id share how I designed my current rainwater harvesting system , in case it offers ideas for others. -roof area 370 m2 -Storage tanks 50 m from house - wanted underground system for various reasons. - Want easy-to-clean entry-filter. - Long distance to collection point means 'first-...

We built with Format Homes , about 350m2 to our design, got keys in April 2017. We are generally happy with quality and it progressed roughly to plan. Although there's a few minor things I'd do differently when engaging with them, in comparison to other 'builder stories' Ive heard, Format seem prett...

Location of the hub doesnt really matter in technical sense. WHat matter is physical access, and future proofing. I would have a small interface point / space in the garage ( presumably near where NBN comes in) , just in case things change. This could just be an in-line CAT6 socket-socket, then cont...

Wow. tricky situation. As far as disclosing your employment situation to lender, What does the 'fine print' say?. At this point, as long as they get agreed repayments, Im guessing there shouldn't be an issue.

Im planning to build next year, and want similar multi-zone sound system. As an electronics engineer, I feel that whats more important is getting the wires in the walls / ceiling, and having a central 'hub' nook area(s) for wires to meet up to a distribution or control system. The actual hardware te...

Although Im not a sparky, from a standards-perspective, I suspect the intended use of a GPO is irrelevant. If its not hardwired to a device, then the supply cable must cater for the theoretical load, which could be over 16A in your case. ( 16A + 10A?) Maybe using 32A cable to the 16A outlet would be...

Hi, Whilst designing a new house, it was suggested to me that including the intended decking design for outdoor area would be prudent to avoid going back to council twice. Our draftsman then suggested including strip concrete footings at the outer edge , attached -to and poured with the house (raft)...

Hi All, As I'm planning my first OB build, Im thinking about ducted vacuum, but difficulty in getting the pipes through the roof cavities ( there's none, as we're using raked ceiling /roof SIPs) means im wondering about running required vac pipes under the slab to appropriate points under the walls....
