It's all good. Infact ponding of water on a new slab is a good thing as it helps with the curing. The worst thing for concrete is hot dry weather that allows the slab to dry out to quick.

Wow really! I can't really offer any advice because I haven't had any dealings with an agency before. Although the builder should have a pre start payment plan for any upgrades that you want to add to the house. I find that strange that the builder has said that they need to check with the agency.

I've changed my kitchen as you can see in the photos.. But hoping I'm not making major design flaw. My question is, would you leave the...

Sorry I can't offer any advise.. 8k sounds like a hefty mark up. I'm looking at doing my own flooring to cut costs, but not sure yet as I'm still deciding because my build timeframe would literally leave me with 6 days after handover before I have to hand my keys back for our rental property.

House looks great. I am about to embark on the great australian dream of building and owning our first home with NCH. We are still in the first stage of choosing a home design. Your build journey has been a pleasure to read and very helpful and informative. If you don't mind me asking, how did you g...
