Better too many options than not enough! Maybe start with your floor tiles and then go from there. I use X Rock range at Di Lorenzo through out the whole house and external pathways as well as the pool coping with just different colours. Just to give you an idea my ground floor is the Grey X Rock a...

Hi guys! How did you organise your landscaping around the build? Did you need to excavate the site after slab went down? Did anyone go with wisdom for landscaping or did you go privately and if private how was wisdom with giving you access?

Quick question: average time to get through the selections process in Canvas quarter?

@Ambassador36 4-5 months for me.KDRB will take longer to get to slab. You would need to be in production estimates by now in order to get a slab this year unfortunately Yeah I guessed that which is ok as long as the admin process quickens so we can get to slab very early next year.

We noticed that our outdoor leisure stacking door is shorter than all our ground floor doors. We got to know the height difference only in construction plan door schedule. If we increase it now, will it be a variation and need DA approval? Is that a structural change? Hi Champs, Yes, we had to incr...

Quick question: average time to get through the selections process in Canvas quarter? You will be allocated two full days but it really depends on how prepared you are beforehand, how decisive you are on the day and then how many custom upgrades you want. Our kitchen drawings took the longest - alm...

Hi Teezed, Actually sorry lol, I meant after the 2 days, the quotes are taking forever to come back, but we did make some minor tweeks so not totally estimating's fault. Also anyone based in Blacktown council? How long did it take to get council approval once all your selections are signed off? Any...

Hi manhattan52 Who is your private building inspector? In an earlier post you mentioned your plan to appoint one. When will you schedule their next stage inspection for? Just before your PCI that I recall is due about now? Any suggestions for members? I use Housepect. I get every stage inspected as...

Also it would be nice to keep this thread going in a positive manner, anyone newish to the build like us? We are at council approval stage and hopefully getting it back any day! Anyone in a similar position? Keen to share the journey with others :) This thread has been super helpful! So much you ove...

@Ambassador36 whichever inspector you use on your Wisdom Homes build make sure that the defects they identify are rectified at the appropriate stage by seeing for yourself. It is appropriate to delay progress payments for the stage if the work for that stage has not been completed to the required s...

@Stukip - your signature shows slab down in March, 2019. Are you nearly at handover? Not yet. Ground floor tiling done last week. Final coat inside paint due next week with mirrors and shower screens. Expecting handover end January as have pool and other landscaping to do with Wisdom but date not y...

@Stukip Yeah we have to go DA approval due to rear balcony and also the water tank... checking status of our approval each morning has become an obsession. I find it's not the admin though that is slowing us down its the estimate team! I asked to add bath niches nearly 4 weeks ago and I have nothing...

Hi, Can someone with experience with solar suggest, whether it is a good or bad idea to have a provision for future solar installation? Wisdom has quoted $975 for the provision. Thanks We built with Wisdom and did our solar after handover. We have a double story and had no issues whatsoever. What p...

Hi everyone, We have just accepted tender and about to start selecting all our interiors and I am extremely overwhelmed with both my design direction (or lack thereof) and also trying to stick with a budget. Worried that my tastes may change and I will hate anything I do within a year and not sure w...
