So finally, I thought I'd start my own thread since I managed to find some time away from work during this holiday period. I've read a fair share of good and bad about BTH, so I've decided to share my experience in building with others as well. After much delays and repeatedly warned by the builder ...

I drove by BTH display home in Wangara today. It was just slab about 2 months ago but it's already on upper floor with stairs now. I wonder why too?!

Apparently this is a standard installation for BTH but depending on the brick if it's double or single leaf walls. I've requested to conceal the conduits in the garage but was given the same reason as well. It's an industry standard. And there's no brickwork in my garage. HTH

Hey Carine, if you don't mind, could you PM me the building inspector details that you are engaging. I thought it will be better since I'm building with BTH too. TIA

Awww.. that is so sweet and congratulations! So there are double celebrations to look forward to in the upcoming years. Don't stress too much on the build I'm sure it'll turn out to be awesome.

Colourbond I'm pretty sure BTH do allow you to do your own stairs however they recommend against it as the credit you get back is minimal and it will be quite costly to do your own. You maybe right archetto as I haven't had any reply when I asked BTH on this. The quote I got from them for stairs up...

You have 1 massive nice house there. And nice pics! I was thinking of doing the stallion stairs too for my build. Alternatively after handover, as I was skeptical that my builder would allows another tradie to do them during construction. Does your builder allows you to do that? Or did you get your ...

12-13 months build time is what I was informed by the sales person as well when I signed the PPA. Had a quick chuckle at him and said that's a wish rather than a reality. As I would expect 18 months to handover from the day I signed the PPA. Or at least I will try to delay it to 15 months at least d...

Oh wow! I got a freebie????? That's a turn up for the books lol maybe it was added to my basic build cost. Can't check that as I can't remember the price and of course it's changed now. Wow wow! Lucky you DandyDons! I reckon it has been absorbed in your build cost. We get LED lights as part of our ...

Yay!! Colorbond looks like you're building with BTH? Start a thread and post your plans :) they use a mix of bricks when the exterior is rendered Hey archetto, yeah I just joined the BTH group. Had my pre-start last week with couple of changes to it. Hopefully I'll start my own thread soon once I r...

Your walls are looking good! Looks like you're having a mixture of 1c & 2c walls. Did you choose to have a mix? I was only given a choice of the 1c bricks.

That's going to be a really nice house that you have there. Can I know, if your area is affected by the European House Borer? It means that the roof and ceiling timber must be treated. I am building in that suburb too and my builder has informed that our area is categorised as a restricted movement ...

That's a nice plan you have there. I will be following your build as I have recently singed up with BTH too.

If you aren't using the builder most probably you will have to do it after handover. And there should be no problem to do split system after handover. Just bring your house plan and show them. Which lot is yours btw?
