Hi Doorsa, Yes have escalated many times to construction manager and head of construction manager level. Head Construction manager ignores complaints and puts it back on the construction manager. We only get lip service and hollow assurances. We have been watching this forum for sometime now, watchi...

Thanks Manhattan 52. The build really comes down to your SS. The original SS up until 3 weeks ago IMO was the cause of our issues to date. Clad we have a new SS who is very attentive, communication is great and has the same common goal to produce a great home as well as the customer enjoying the jou...

Has anyone used EHI for their blinds? I can't seem to find any review about this company on here. Maybe they are new at Wisdom? And when do you choose where your outdoor taps will be located? Not sure about the blinds, but with regards to the tap locations the plumber actually determines the locati...

Which means you need to have EP, construction plans and Finances sorted and signed off before your file can move to Production Estimating and Construction. I would be working with your ...

That is what the cut off date was for us last year, 15th November. We missed it by a week or so and therefore site scra...
