For those that are in a double storey build, are you able to take a pic of the 2nd storey ceiling finish for me if possible? We've got issues with the way our gyprock is finished - you can see every join across the entire ceiling whereas in the display homes they aren't visible and in other builds ...

Hey, How did your handover go? Take any pics? See below pics of my ceiling on first floor. I don’t see any obvious ones...

Only thing I didn't upgrade was the sink tap in the kitchen which is so annoying because when ever I am using the tap all water goes over the benchtop because the standard tap is not long enough so if you s...

Congrats any issues inside the house or all good? Pictures? Yeah the sapphire package sink mixer tap is too short. I ma...

Well, settlement was supposed to be tomorrow - but the bank has stuffed up, so now it's back to being Monday! Apparently the bank separated our loan into two lots... one for land and one for construction. But they put too much into construction and not enough into the land. Their excuse was we shou...

Hello everyone! My construction certifier is CDC, and this question is related to that. At the handover, does Clarendon provide us the interim occupancy certificate, or do we have to get it separately? Also, what all (minimum) is required for the final occupancy certificate? I read through my CDC d...
