It's sad when its so close to completion and got told the ss will be replaced. This is our 3rd. First one has to cover as the assigned ss is on leave. 2nd is the actual ss. He got moved to a different project and we got the 3rd. Good thing about the 3rd ss, he's very accommodating. We requested a w...

That's interesting! We are further through our build than you and our SS won't even mention a PCI date!!!!! What's your...

@MandM+4 -- I did my electrical a few weeks back also. Looks like those are downlight provisions. Have you decided what to use after handover? I found a website that sell the same downlight as W at about $20 a piece. RRP is about $35. Also may I ask what floor plan are you building? Looks great! And...

The dream has become reality! Well it's still sinking in actually, we've got the keys now but the feeling is a bit surreal cos it's been a 2 year process all up, my wife and I are still processing. Had a hectic morning meeting up with SS on site to do a final walk through, he still has a list of ab...

Congrats SBAT! Beautiful.

Has anyone asked during the kitchen appointments if you absolutely must select your stone from the Caesarstone range? Or do they have essastone/quantum quartz etc as an option too? I would contact the companies directly but I get the impression they won't deal with me before our appointment from so...

Knebel does allow you to visit before the appointment. Not sure with timpelle. As far as I know you can choose quartz n...

Hi addie, no ours is MB. This rain is causing so many dramas! What a pain you've had to move out. Hopefully won't be too long until your house is completed.

I received an email "site start acknowledgement" does that mean that the files moved to construction!!! Did anybody else get this email?? Congratulations! Just means that the temporary fence will be delivered and up and land scraped.

So, we got a call from our SS today to tell us he is no longer our SS!! They are moving him to a different area so we are now going to be on our 4th, yes 4th SS! I think he was probably pleased to be off our site to be honest. We're now going back to our original SS who never actually started on ou...

Is his initials GR? No... there must be a few Greek SSs! They're good because we're a picky lot! Me included!! Haha! Is...

Hi everyone, this is where we're at before Christmas. We didn't quite manage to get a roof put on before shut down with all the delays, but bricking has been completed. The rectification works will continue in the new year when they'll core drill a new pier for the column that needs to be relocated...

Good one Msjovi. I am glad re your progress. Merry christmas and Happy New Year! Enjoy your break!

Hi, we got quoted $725 for the electric cooktop, & $960 for the under bench oven (base cabinetry & extra caesarstone). BUT we were told we might not be able to have it because Wisdom only gives free-standing GAS cooker to meet BASIX requirements.....[/quote] This actually is true. Our basix ...

We have received our revised tender and typically there are a few errors on it, so frustrating that they can't just fix it up immediately. Unsure whether it will be quicker to get the tender fixed up with the hope that the working drawings won't need to be amended or just initial off the tender ass...

We wanted to get our tender updated ASAP but WH didn't seem to share the same view. Tender updates would take 3 weeks a...

The race against the clock continues, 2 more weeks till shutdown, the formwork for our driveway is done and they've demolished the old layback and the footpath. Bricking for the front fence is done too and the side fence posts are in on the right hand side. They can really hustle when they need to....

Almost there SBAT! Do you think it will all be ready before christmas break? If you don't mind me asking, are they doin...

We went out and met our pool guy at the house today and luckily enough our back door was open and we got to see our gorgeous kitchen!!! Looking exactly (if not better!) how I imagined!! http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161203/69734e81f2a330fd2c3e79cd594c5942.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...
