TROPICAL GARDEN - HELPLandscape & Garden Design

Jul 20, 2021 11:58 am

HEY EVERYONE! We have next to no garden outside and I really want to make a new one that is tropical! Only problem is, I'm not sure what type of tropical plants/trees don't have invasive roots. I was hoping you all could offer your advice. We are on a small suburban block as well so preferably somet...

Re: Critique the floor plan for my ground floor!Building A New House

Nov 13, 2020 10:20 am

You could cut into the lounge area and create a small hallway for the door to the powder room, so it isn't right off the entry way. I'd extend the new hall a bit and add in a door & move the laundry where the W.I.P is. Move the kitchen to where the family room is on the other side, and make the ...

Hi all, As per the title, let me know what you guys think. Appreciate it https://forum.homeone.com.au/u/98410_1605164132.jpeg If your going to have just a wip and not a butlers, maybe add a door to it? I love closing the door on my pantry, makes the kitchen look so much neater

Re: Are these frame stage defects "normal"?Building A New House

Oct 05, 2020 1:33 pm

Hello, folks, this is my first post. I'm building my first home with Metricon in Sydney. Last week, I did an inspection by myself after they finished the frame stage, and I found these defects, https://forum.homeone.com.au/u/98143_1601863410.jpg https://forum.homeone.com.au/u/98143_1601863417.jpg h...

Re: Certs and final paymentBuilding A New House

Sep 15, 2020 1:14 pm

Hi, Our bank has informed us they will not release final payment to builder until certs of our home have been released by builder. Builder is refusing to hand over certs since we signed practical completion back on 15th June. They are also refusing to hand us over keys to our home. They keep sendin...

You could probably also threaten the builder to go legal as theyre not supplying the certs theyre legally required to gi...

Re: Could a smaller builder to a project home for less?Building A New House

Sep 05, 2020 10:31 pm

You cant take plans from other builders and replicate them exactly with different builders. Some people will accept the plan if you change a number of things. My parents needed to change 8 major things, like room dimensions, walls, door positioning etc, but that was years ago and laws have probably ...

Re: Provisional AllowancesBuilding A New House

Sep 04, 2020 3:30 pm

The electrical hit us hard. We had 3k allowance, and it wasn't enough for Clipsal. We upgraded and added in downlights, and fans and our budget went 2k over. We wanted more powerpoints and pendants but didn't budget that. I say leave a big allowance for yourself, if you dont use it they dont charge...

Thanks, that is good info. I was thinking of upping the electrical to 3K as we need to add some more downlights and pro...

Re: Provisional AllowancesBuilding A New House

Sep 04, 2020 2:41 pm

Just curious how much other people set their provisional allowances to in their building contracts? Our latest tender has $6,000 PA ($3K kitchen, 2K tiling, 1K electrical). My first impression is this is very much on the low side and am thinking of pumping these up quite substantially. So just curi...
