Yeah there are new promotions going now so you can't really compare but I agree their discount is pretty poor.

Hi everyone We did settlement last week and just found out that a ducted heating/coolinh vent is missing in our laundry. It is in the contract, the builder just completely missed it.

My question is who has had to go to a Class P slab and typically, what was the ad...

I've also just sent a request to Ausnet, I sent it yesterday. I didn't realise it takes 8 weeks just to get a quote??
