Is anyone know the package price for houspect's 4 stage inspections? It depends on the size of the house and which stages you want them to inspect. I've pasted the below original quote from Houspect below which explains the stages and discounts if you book all the stages etc. --------------- If you...

Beautiful! It looks so bright and airy but cozy at the same time, great work with your selections. Fabulous to hear that you have no major issues that need to be sorted, you'll be moved in no time. Thanks for the photo's. What are you thinking for lights in the stairs, entry and kitchen island? Hop...

Thank you kjane! Yep we're pretty happy with the build quality. They've started on the remaining items and hopefully th...

By the way, we just paid the $10k acceptance and now at the next stage of waiting for hydraulic plans. Very apprehensive what comes back given the stormwater issues HHH raised in our tender presentation. Wonder if the $20k stormwater provision in our tender will be used up...? Hi Zen, nice to hear ...

Hi guys, we’re late to the party in this group but just got underway with Hall and Hart. We’re building a Sienna Contemporary facade in Ryde Council. Demo complete and handed over to them this week. Expecting the slab complete by end of August. All progress to date has been good albeit slow with Ry...

Hi Morri! Welcome, great to have another HHH on board and especially great for me another one in my local hood. We look...

Hi Kjane, We really want the laminate but the quotes from Accent Carpets seem a bit expensive. This is in comparison to the Provisional Allowance we asked Chris to put in our tender for engineered wood and also the quote you have kindly provided. I know my upstairs area is larger than your downstai...

Hi tand, I think these all come to the personal choice and budget. Due to the builder's margin, the upgrade always more...

Hi All, We are getting ready for our internal selections. Just wondering if anyone chose a white/light coloured caesar stone for their kitchen and if they had any problems with stains from things like red wine or tumeric. I have been reading conflicting accounts of caesar stone some claiming it sta...

So we're now booked in for our Tender Presentation - any tips? Questions you wished you'd asked? I am assuming we get a detailed "quote" based on our floorplans and discussions we've had with Sean. Can anyone then help me get my head around the rest of the process? Is this correct: * Have...

Very thorough! HHH supplied us with a pre construction CDC process guide (via email) which outlined the process from te...

Time for an update :-D Tiling is done, and painting is full steam ahead at the moment. Here are some shots of the tiles, though still needs silicone edging, and to be cleaned. We're very happy with the tiles (phew!) and the workmanship, very neat. https://forum.homeone.com.au/u/75181_1522879341.jpg...

Hi Seren1ty, Do you mind to post or PM me another photo of this Timber look tile in your porch and alfresco? We really ...

Hello, everyone Just updated our Elyse 38 progress, we have signed our tender and paid the $5000 Tender Accpetantance Fee. During the tender stage, Sean and Chris are both very helpful with Hall & Hart Professional Service. This really makes Hall & Hart standard out from another builder. Se...

Tea Land, we’re just waiting on our tender. It’s been 3.5 weeks so hopefully next week? How long did yours take? While we wait we’re trying to make some decisions but gosh it’s hard. At this stage we’re planning on doing Blackbutt or Turpentine hardwood floors post handover which means we’ll probab...

Hi there Zen, Here is a pic of our facade i took today. We also used the Rawson house at Homeworld for inspiration, we really like the timber and dark bricks. When we built PGH bricks was the only choice and the Espresso really stood out for us. The brick is painted though (as alot are) so be aware...

Hi Ally, what a stunning home you have built! It looks so so beautiful... Thank you very much for sharing!

Wow great to see everyone's progress! Zen: We went with surfmist windows simply to match the white colour of our shutters, meaning the window frame blends into the shutters from the outside. We chose to upgrade to a solid colour brick, but it's just a personal choice, and we also wanted a richer co...
