@Rocchet I suggest that if Mark (Wisdom's GM) at @WisdomHomes has not already reached out to you about your longstanding shower issue then you should contact him tomorrow 22.11.2019 publicly here (or via PM if you are not comfortable with this approach) to ask him directly what he intends to do to ...

So the bathroom is finally fixed!!! (Hopefully for good) Finally got a response and had the issue escalated at head offi...

So it’s been a few year since I’ve been on this thread... shared a lot of advice and received even more, hopefully it’s still going strong. I remember trawling this page before signing with wisdom and people’s positive feedback in terms of wisdom fixing post build issues was one of the key factors w...

Hi We completed construction almost 2 years ago but have had problems with one bathroom since day one. Water leaking, mould, tile growth etc...Lots of back and forth with builder still hasn’t fixed the problem and they’re now suggesting epoxy to replace grout.

Rawson would be my choice all the way (Disclaimer I didn’t build with either) With the research we did into builders and the forum knowledge we picked up I believe Rawson offer a better quality finish and Masterton seem to have some notoriously long build times and inconsistent quality finishes (dep...

I would also suggest square set ceilings to all downstairs to avoid the cornices finishing oddly as they hit the lowered kitchen ceiling part (which is square set) or the coffered hallway ceilings (also square set).

Just a small thing. I would personally not put a built in desk to the study. Not ideal having your back to the entrance (I have a study very similar and originally put my desk there but the moved it) That would also allow it to be more easily configured into a 4th bedroom which would be important f...

Not sure how I'm supposed to run our washing machine water inlet to connectors above the shelve. Make sure they cut a hole for you to feed the water inlet hose through. https://forum.homeone.com.au/u/11714_1524873946.jpg I’d give your ss a call about that jordann he should organise to fix that up q...
