I posted on this forum some time back that the steal beams over the leisure/kitchen area of my double storey home seemingly did not have enough support (in industry terms this is called 'purchase') under the timber studs, so I took matters into my own hands and contacted the engineer. While it took him an eternity to get back to me he said that he had concerns for the beam and had contacted our dear builder with his concerns. The result is they reinforced the support under the beam bringing it within industry standards. I warn everyone, that you should always look over important structural features and if anything looks wrong to speak up. This is something that needs to be right. Some tradies can be very careless and they end up putting things in the too hard basket, leaving it up to others to rectify if it goes wrong, and if it gets picked up. Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 1318Oct 25, 2015 7:12 pm Matt1 The bricks should all be ordered at the same time and thus come from the same batch. There are variations within a batch so it's comes down to the brickies to select the bricks so that it blends in. Have a chat to your SS about your concerns and tell him you want good brickies. Our SS waited a week for his "preferred" brick crew and they did a great job with our bricks 'Should' is the key word here. From what I have seen, most people have half their bricks delivered first and then, when their is room on site, the other half. This can lead to storage problems for the brick company. This leads me to believe that most bricks come from different batches. But I'm not an expert, I'm just basing this on pure observation and speculation. Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 1319Oct 25, 2015 7:22 pm Hi everyone, I just have a question for those interior design buffs. Upon entering my soon to be built home we will have a square set entrance for the small home office followed by a little media room which could be closed by two sliding doors. The style of these sliding doors will be very different to all the other doors of the first floor. My question is will this look strange or create a lack of continuity? The two sliding doors to the media room will be LIN 1 with translaminated glazing (stained timber around a milky white glaze) - similar to these doors: http://www.bunnings.com.au/hume-doors-t ... r_p1975809 The rest of the house will have HLR230 doors - White doors with several lines from bottom to top. (A lot of the display homes use this door). What do you guys think and do you/will you have any 'feature doors' in your home?

Something that was suggested to us, was the horizontal lines of those feature doors would be dust collectors. we ended up opting for the hume HAG9 feature door instead, as they have vertical lines rather than horizontal.
