Hey guys - does anyone know what the clearance requirement around the house is? The house will come right out to the end of the pad (edge of pad drops off, probably 3 metres or so) so now i'm wondering if Coral need like a 1-2m clearance around the actual house?? Any ideas?? Clearances are dictated...

Clearances are dictated by Council and/or the Estate you are building in.

Hi MrsAJ, When they install the windows make sure they do not remove the protective film/plastic on the glass and frames. When they start doing brickwork and eventually interior painting, you will get splatters of mortar and paint on the glass and frames. The splatters are annoying to remove especi...

Thank you for the advice. I will surely make a note and tell them about it. Yes we are using steel frames. If we ask th...

Hi TiredHalo, Don't let the issues you read affect you. What you should ask with those that had issue is that are they happy with the end results. You will always see things during the build that are issues but it should not stress you out as long as you communicate it with you site supervisor and l...

How much was your home security system and what did that include? :) Hi StepLee, I paid $1200.00 for a fully installed Hills Reliance 8 system with 5 sensors and the ability to set and monitor the system on a smartphone.

Hi Vonsta76, I went the Bunnings way with my epoxy floor. It cost me $186.00 for the coloured coat, another $186.00 for the clear coat and $200.00 for tools and misc stuff. Preparation took the longest time and waiting for the rain to stop. After lots of youtube videos on how to do it, It took a cou...

Hi Charlibear, House is slowly looking more like a home now. Did Crimsafe/3M on all windows and doors, that was an expensive investment but worth it. I am doing my roller blinds a few windows at a time as they are all custom fit. Finished epoxy coating my garage floor. I sort of stop doing anything ...
