Thanks for your response. Unfortunately, the current certified Construction/engineering details didn't detect the water table. Thus, currently builder has contacted structural and hydraulic engineer to get their opinion on what to do about it. I am wondering if someone here has experienced such thin...

As we started building basement garage, we noticed the water table issue at couple of spots. The garage is not fully built yet. Just raft slab was done along with the dincel walls. Builder is going to contact with structural and hydraulic engineer to get their opinion on what to do about it. Wonderi...

Thanks guys. We have Smart meter for electricity. I read on one the forums that: ``` If you have the old meter (analog), the demo company can arrange to have an L2 sparky disconnect it for you. If you have the smart/digital meter, you'll have to fill in the abolishment form (found online with your p...

Location : Sydney (Parramatta Council ) Looking for some urgent help on our concern which might cause issue for our home demolition. We have abolished gas service already few months before as we no longer have any gas appliance. Q1) For demolition purpose, what all existing services must be abolishe...

Looks like Kuber Hones have written some great reviews about themselves on google! Ahh, are you saying those are fake? how?

Appreciate any feedback about them.

Basement garage ceiling: Is there any concern if we choose the metal bondek raw finish? Does that look cheap work? Should negotiate with builder for any better option? Any pros/cons? Whats better option? Thanks :) yes thats a very cheap look IMO. Bondek is just formwork that doesnt need removing bu...

Hi Guys, We have option to choose from smartstone or caesarstone for our benchtop from builder's range. Can you please share your thoughts, experience? Which is better option? pros/cons? Thanks

For rest of the house we are thinking to use 600x600mm tiles but wondering how it looks like if we go 300x600mm tiles in bathrooms. Any thought? Which is better option?

Hi Guys, We are thinking to buy a fibreglass pool shell (and equipment like pump, filter, cleaning kit etc) from Swimming Pool Retailer. We are doing this because we are looking for a pool of length 3x7m (max) and max depth of 1.35m ( it can flat or like 0.95m to 1.35m as long as its not exceeding 1...

Appreciate if you guys can guesstimate the cost of repairs or problem shown in the pictures. Please check as this is break or make deal for my new purchase which is under cooling off period still. https://m.imgur.com/a/3LhtXJg TIA!

I’d make the study smaller and try and add in a wall of storage in laundry, you have no storage downstairs at all, you would only need to take 400-500mm from the study which would still be very functional. We will have massive storage at back side of the basement garage.

Place is massive....huge study, media and pool. Nice. Will the lounge at front get used much? It's bigger than living area. I'd also think about having a separate WC from the bathroom (upstairs). Thanks for your comments :) Point about separate WC noted and its good one. Lounge at front is bigger t...
