We have almost finished our build with MainVue. Its not what I was expecting, so hopefully yours goes to plan. The most important thing I learned was to get an independent building inspector. He pointed out so many things not done to code, o was shocked that they did not even know what they had done...

We have our final inspection due soon but its going t take a few weeks to level out the crooked ceilings. One end of my alfresco door is closer to the ceiling than the other end. Haven't measured yet but the eye can pick it up as you walk down the hall

Is that to code? It doesn't look like it but I think they waterproof the plaster and that satisfies standard...

Hi, Don't want to deter anyone from choosing this builder. I just want people to be aware of what to expect. You are most likely to encounter these things with any builder. It depends on how well you are friends with the inspectors and how well they know the standards and how much support they are ...
Did they rectify all those issues for you? Not as of yet. But as you can see, some of the issues can't be fixed, and wi...

Thanks for the adivce.. I'm not sure if I'm meant to post this here but could anyone recommend an electrician in the West? (Sunshine, Melbourne) What are you after? I have a good friend who is an electrician. He works in the west and is fully licensed.

Sorry but I disappeared off the scene for awhile. Had a few issues with my land which delayed the build. But I'm up and running again. I'm building the Aegean 230 in Williamstown North. Frames almost complete and colour bond roof almost done. Will post pics soon. So far Henley have been good. Besid...
Do you have an independent inspector?

Hi there I started building with MainVue (am432) last month. I have been pretty happy so far with their standard of work. They are just about to reach lockup stage and besides a few minor things it has been pretty smooth process. I am building in a new development area and out of all the houses on ...
I don't really want to mention his name on here. I don't believe I am having all these problems due to just him. I was ...

Maybe I'm the only one venting? Maybe you're their only client now :lol: Is that why I have all their professional advice focused on me?

We have just found out they have not constructed our frame to AS standards and it was only picked up by our independent inspector. Its turning into s**t fight and I'm wondering how many ot...

Can I ask who you built with? A small unknown family-started builder.. I think it doesn't matter the "label" of the builder.. It's the people in them that we end up fortunately or unfortunately with.. Did you have any major issues during yours?
