Re: Nail popsBuilding Standards; Getting It Right!

Jan 20, 2019 7:46 am

My issue is that we've had other plaster and paint problems whereby they said finishes can only be judged without glancing light as per standards and tolerances. I understand there is no chance they'd consider painting the whole ceiling, hence a patch up, hence a horrid looking shine as this ceiling...

Sorry ignore previous post is not what I wanted it to say so many errors lol. Hi guys was just wondering if you could help me. We have asked our builder of an interim occupancy certificate and have been advised that we don’t have one and the builder is saying we don’t need one. We were told by our ...

If you are in Victoria your dwelling is under builder's warranty for 10 years. It is unlikely you have a serious problem but observe and keep photos and records. Your inspector should be able to give you proper advice. Thanks for the reply! In NSW it's seven years but the builder says this is not s...

Hi guys, Does anyone know if Coral provide us with a occupancy certificate or if we have to do this ourselves? I tried council but they said to speak to the private certifier as they issued our construction certificate..... But I've never been in contact with them so now I am a bit confused. I thoug...

Hi guys, Can someone please help me as I am so confused. Do Coral provide us with an occupancy certificate at handover? I tried council and they just said take it up with your private certifier. I've had nothing to do with them during this whole process.....

hi all, although not specific to Coral, i was hoping to get some info on the handover process especially in NSW. Can someone tell me if this is roughly correct. There are so many moving parts towards the end of the build!! 1. Arrange H&C insurance prior to PCI 2. Receive final statement invoice...

So sorry to hear of your problems. Your house actually looks really lovely, but there is definitely a colour difference from the bottom to the top. I remember when we built our first house and looked at bricks, we went to their brick display and went "I like that one but I don't like the one n...

Been holding off any updates as not a whole heap has happened and to be honest, we are so angry! There is a beam running down the middle of the hallway. Asked around, other Hamptons don't have this issue. Was told roof trusses not made to specs of the house? Whatever- we couldn't have been bothered....

Have they done the brick clean? It looks a little bit like they might have cleaned the top but that they need scaffolding for and not the bottom yet. It's hats to tell in photos though. Thanks, hubby thinks that might be the reason too, but my mind went straight to panic mode after reading a few ex...

Hi, We paid approx. $20,000 extra for site costs before our additions. Our additions totaled approx. $45,000 and I feel we REALLY underdone it - keep in mind that included big ticket items such as ducted for 12g. Also depends on your location. QLD customers seem to pay less - base price and extras. ...

PCI was great!!! So happy with how everything has turned out. Only 2 minor things to fix and SS already has trades lined up to rectify this. Didn’t get many photos, will post more after handover.
