they said no to tacking on the skirting. they will fix it as per standard i guess hi guys , Your discussions very helps to the other that in the same situation. Can I please ask if Clarendon charge you anything to tack on the skirting board? Or they have to do fully fixed which will be hard to remov...

Sorry I was talking about Sediment and erosion control which was offered by the demo company. I assumed they were the same things but not sure now. Which demo company are you going with? I think they will provide all the necessary certificate to clarendon? Best to ask demo company you are going with...

Yes, u need to pay S94 for parra. The hygienist clearance certificate your demolition company can do for u as an extra charge. They will offer it to you as an option

ad0303 I'm so impressed with your council!! My friend still waiting on parra council close to 2 months now. sam_syd; Yup, that worried me too about the skirting. We will just have to take off the skirting and put it back on. Yup will need scotia for some of the areas, which i'm not a huge fan of eit...

Hi Loz I saw you have chosen 2750 ground floor height and 2600 first floor, what are the benefits of high ceilings ? Also, how to decide where to put toughend glass and where double glazing? High ceiling make the room/house look more spacious and luxurious. The first floor ceiling of 2.4m felt too ...

Does anyone know (or have pics) the standard living area floor tiles range? Do they have any gloss porcelain tiles? Im still wondering why there are so many people opting to do flooring post-handover. Dont they have enough choices? The standard tiles are only 450x450 I really don't like grout lines...

Hi Sam_Syd oh wow your plan looks great!! Great idea about having the void over the top if you don't need so many bedrooms! We raised our ceiling upstairs to 2.6m, but if you have that void I guess that's already like a really tall ceiling! Oh far out, your site cost is a lot!! From what i have read...

Hi Bean 1969, ducted aircon is included in sapphire but most people end up upgrading the aircon as the one offered can only run either downstairs or upstairs only. No idea about eaves, we forgot to add it on for our build; would have like some in front of the garage. We're not getting security scree...

Thanks for the advice! hmm yeah i might have to think about this one. Oh how come you demolished before DA approval? Our builder said if going thru DA we have to wait for approval to come first as they don'w know how long it will take. But as we're going with CDC they said it is upto us and that it...

Our land was empty for one and half years before building start Jan 2017. Our Council took one and half y...

I like all brick look so we actually had trouble picking fascade as apart from the traditional one which wasn't recommended due to looking very 'meh', all others were not all brick. Oh are you getting the driveway done t...
