I got a private inspection done post out frame completion and thank god I did Wisdom seems to be cutting corners to get to a stage where they can issue an invoice The support columns are too short to support the steel beams. Nuts and bolts are missing that need to support the frames. Flat strips ar...

Thanks for sharing, we were currently tossing up on whether the private inspector was worth more than just getting the ...

@sv_reddy I would definitely look into battery operated if you are going to get them later. Performance wise they are exactly the same. If you get them provisioned now you are going to have an electrical cord hanging out a hole on each window. Doesn’t look the best Thanks @Manhattan52. I will keep ...

All my windows have motorised blinds. If you are going through EHI they will do the electrical for you. If you don't provision in the hardwire, the battery operated motorised are also excellent. It charges through a small USB lead once every 6 months. Thanks @Manhattan52. Is Wisdom tied up with EHI...

Hello all, Whoever is in building phase, when can we expect to have the master plan with "doors/windows schedule"? All we have received so far are the plans with different elevations, none of them have the detailed windows/doors schedule. We have signed the contract, and have the selection...

How have you claimed the $5500 outdoor voucher without spending too much with Wisdom We only used part of it and rest is going into credit. The landscaping costs they have are just too expensive. Doing the bulk of it after handover, it's a bit of a pain but worth the savings Yeah our quote came to ...

Hi, We are going through the quote but wondering how many downlights should we budget for for the ambassador 36 with balcony off the master suite? We are first time builders and home owners and the display had 70+ but not sure if this many is truly required. Your feedback is much appreciated.

Morning everyone, We are just about to start the tender process for the ambassador and wondering if anyone used the classic facade and if so would you be able to share pics? We are having the balcony at the back and therefore don’t need a balcony on the front. We are thinking to save some money and ...
