our issue was lack of waterproofing in the kids shower.... had to be fully rebuilt. the other issue we have is the grout isn't colour fast, and they keep getting some water-born epoxy sh1t applied, that lasts for 2-3 weeks before it comes off again. They said they'd fix it by regrouting with epoxy,...

We won’t be chasing anything up again! Will fix ourselves if problems occur again. Will be quicker!

yep - very similar to us.... it was an issue with the drain leaking. Good luck - it is such a pain going through plumbing refits! And they damaged our timber stairs during the repairs :(

That is so bad @blackcat20 ! Our main bathroom shower had to be completely replaced as it was leaking through lounge ceiling. It only got picked up last year as it was the kids bathroom and the shower wasn't used everyday. It had been leaking since day 1. First they tried to re-grout the shower floo...

That's awesome, who did your pool and outdoor kitchen? We've got the same space and bricked up the wall and installed shutters, but need to find a decent outdoor kitchen to go in the space Hi @Drew01, Narellan Pools built our pool.

It has taken a few months…. Mainly due to a 4 month delay in pavers, but the backyard makeover is finally complete. 💦☀️🍻 https://forum.homeone.com.au/u/83269_1648264886.jpeg https://forum.homeone.com.au/u/83269_1648264898.jpeg https://forum.homeone.com.au/u/83269_1648264916.jpeg https://forum.homeon...

Long overdue updates - sorry So, you know we baulked at the Thomas Archer joinery in the living room. Just didn't love the options and the cost wasn't fabulous either, especially once I'd broken it down. So, just after Easter last year we got the fireplace done, and the joinery followed later. fire...

Pretty nice front fence, love it.... The house is looking fabulous! Nothing like finishing touches to make it a home! E...

Overall we were pretty happy with them - but double and triple check all upgrades in your draft contract and all floor plans.... the number of mistakes that came back to us during planning with Admin was frustrating.

Pool has been installed for about 6 weeks now. There were delays due to the 2 week construction closure and our pavers should arrive in the next fortnight.

After 20 months, we finally had our S Fold sheers installed over the weekend. Just need the living room to be done now as they made a mistake with the width. (Pls excuse the puppy fence!)
