Yeah I met with the supervisor on site and he said that they wanted to try and fix it. I said that if i could see any sign of it that i would not be happy. Thought about it for 1 night and decided that i wasn't happy with a bodged up front feature door so told them i wanted a new one. Got it in writ...

Hi all Was out on site today and noticed that where they have installed our front door lock, in our lovely timber door, some idiot chippy has used the template upside down and we have 2 holes which have been plugged and varnished over under our door lock :x :x . The plugs are much darker than the re...

Hi Southbris Can i ask who the franchise is with? Is it the Coomera office (Bond) or an office in brisbane? We too had many issues up front with failed promises and them going back on their word and not honouring written quotes. To their credit they did compensate somewhat by throwing a couple of th...

Honestly guys i would be talking with the sparkie on site when he does the rough in - It is another headache you can do without after handover. :th:

We asked our supervisor and he said he was ok if we added a few extras directly through the sparkie that they use. He just gave me his details and i met him on site wh...

hi andrew Welcome :D :D - we are building the lakewood 29 with beach house facade. Not sure about the bricks as we are getting the full render which looks awesome with the feature weatherboard. Where abouts are you building?? My only advice is to get everything in the contract. Do not assume because...

Your slab is looking good - whats the square bit out the back for? Yeah it is for the water tank. We get a free 5000ltr bluescope slimline tank at Jacobs ridge. It could not fit down the side without restricing access too much. That is why we made the side window in the bedroom huge (3.6 x 1.2) 8)
