Hi Guys, Need some advise. I seem to be struggling to convince landscapers to give me a quote prior to start of construction. The issue seems, they would rather wait until the cut and fill is complete for a confirmed quote. I would however like a quote, even if it were an estimate only or worst cas...

We were in the same boat last year. They did our peg out between Christmas and New year and then were back on deck around the 10th of January. I would expect that you will see some action prior to Christmas (being within the 20 days) then it will stop for 2-3 weeks. I think ours was about a week be...

Hi guys We got the finance confirmed this week and my CSA called me yesterday and confirmed that she moving my file to construction process and said that it will take 20 days to go to the construction. The 20 days falls in the Christmas holidays time and I have a strong feeling they won't start the...

Hi all, I am just wanting to get some advice on the hybrid steel frame. We got offered to upgrade to a steel frame "at no extra cost" at DA stage and we sent it off without looking too much into it. Now I'm doing my research and it doesn't look like its a good thing. Apparently it makes t...

We were upgraded to hybrid. I was happy for that, purely for the termite protection. Spoke to a few builders and the only negative they mentioned was as you say it's harder to renovate down the track. As for hanging stuff, you can get plenty of different types of fixings for timber, steel, gyprock, ...

For those who had buildwatch during their build....at what stage did the camera get installed on site? And when did you get access to it online? thanks From Memory it was after the Slab was done camera were installed and you get access around that time. Ours was after the frames were delivered.

I have this idea for kitchen instead of a fixed Pullout waste bin house, would cabinetry builders entertain a portable waste unit on rollers housed in the kitchen/island , but can be extract fully anytime. like wheel it around the kitchen or to the council bins outside the house. I'm sure they'll d...

I'm deciding if we need to use private inspector to perform more regular check as the build progresses. As our first build, we want second eye on things. We know council does their compliance check, but been advise Tyrells only perform total of two quality inspections. seems not enough from our vie...

Our peg out was just before Christmas last year. Cut and fill was end of January(due to the Christmas shut down) Concreters started a week l...
