I hope you all don’t mind me adding my two cents. I noticed that a few of you used the word cheaper as one of the main differences between big and small building companies. Cheaper is not necessarily the case , when we quote against the “big” companies we often find we are very competitive when the ...

WOW, I really feel for you. I agree there are some really slimy operators out there who are more concerned with their commissions then getting the right house for their clients . I would recommend strongly that if you are looking to build a home for yourself, try and avoid “project builders” . I kno...

I’m not sure how to prep the surface but I would recommend you use opti-white low ionised glass. Because normal toughened glass has a green tinge which can ruin the colour applied on the back.

Bella that’s the best option, I would even recommend you use the waterproofing over the whole floor not just the joins. yume_87 however it is a must to waterproof the whole floor. This is not the responsibility of the tiler, rather a totally different contractor.

It’s a funny topic air-conditioning, not because it’s over complicated but more so because there is so much room for personal interpretation. With a lot of ducted systems you can be zoned to the house as to allow air-conditioning only to the areas you are using. It’s not uncommon to have some compan...

Generally speaking the use of acrylics in exterior situations is recommend. As enamels age they become very brittle and chalky and therefore have a tendency to crack and flake off the surface. On the other hand, acrylics retain their colour better, do not chalk to any great extent and do not get bri...

The metro city factor, lets see… in QLD I find that there can be a difference of any where between 10 to 20% between the Sunshine Coast and Brisbane. There is more work in the metro areas hence a greater demand for trades (supply and demand) plus, longer travel time to and from sites, dearer dumping...

Or try tiles. It's amazing what tiles look like on a patio. Choose a non-slip tile and use plenty of glue to help over come any unevenness in the concrete. It'll look a million bucks.

Hay konmanos The best solution to 1. Stop the pavers from moving and 2. Prevent weeds coming through would be to use a concrete base.
