Thanks :) You sure can :) that's what we did a few days ago. National tiles came to $1200 and Beaumont $493 so we ...

Hey guys, Just a quick one, we were charged nearly $3000 to extend or master (width), apparently the house needs to be decreased in length by 15cm so it will meet all the requirements for the block. Should we expect a credit back due to the house now being decreased in size? We should get our contac...

How did everyone go about deducting items charged on the contract that either didn't end up needing to be done, or an allowance for expenses that they may not have used all of?
