Wow, thanks everyone for all the input! I think i was a little excited when i posted this as it came out a little frantic. So I've have a little bit more of a play with the design but i agree with the points above and know the design will need to be an iterative process. https://forum.homeone.com.a...

I’ve paid for staging in Canberra for a 4 bedroom 2 bath & it cost me $2000.00 for a 30 day contract

No and depending on which state it is I think it’s illegal

So we are officially at lock up stage and our house has been fully locked up. Unfortunately this means I cannot get access. Does anyone know where the tradies key is kept? Some builders do a lock box with the key in it, which our builder did. When we had organised a meeting with the supervisor I wa...

I planted a row of Lilly Pilly Sublime along my back fence last September. I'm in Melbourne, and the soil here is fairly solid clay. I dug out around 50-60cm round holes (width and depth). I now realise that I should have dug a trench, or at least wider and shallower holes. Anyway, I laid a bed of ...

I have finished my house build and now turning attention to the backyard. There is around a 60m2 area where I would like to have grass, however need to raise the level by around 200 -300mm. The area previously had a swimming pool, which was filled in 1.5 years ago. The soil test that was done indic...

Have you checked that you don’t have lawn grab or something else that is affecting the grass?

Mine is H2 which is the next step from yours (worse then yours) Did the do piers? Did the plumber do flexible couplings on the pipes?

Do you know what the soil was class as?

Trust me I went though hell with our build but this is a public forum so I am very careful on what I say. Please private message me & I can explain everything

We had ours recess in but it was on the second story so it was into a structural beam. It cost an extra $300 & that’s not into concrete.

I prefer the wall also or option 2. 1. It’s good Feng Shui not to see though the house. 2. Safety & privacy, I personally don’t want anyone to be able to look into my house to see if I am home. We have that problem right now where the wall is just 10mm to short & you can look into our bedroo...

We finished our build the end of last year so we have been living in the house for 6-8mths we built at Springfield Lakes. We also had dent on the roof, our solar panels were being installed before hand over & they saw the dents & stop the job & notified us immediately because they didn’...

I think you are right to fight this, trust me the builder to always say it’s not a defeat when they know it is. They just don’t what to spend the money to fix it & with this one it’s going to cost them a new bench top. The first thing is the oven, was this the one they showed you at selections? ...
