Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Coral Homes general build thread 10916May 29, 2018 9:25 am symone We totally missed the WIP shelving. DH is totally unhappy with the pyneboard, but what can you do.... Ours shelves were meant to be removed and we just deck it out ourself but they overlooked the variation due to being so far over contract we let it go as we just want to get in now! Re: Coral Homes general build thread 10917May 29, 2018 9:26 am symone We totally missed the WIP shelving. DH is totally unhappy with the pyneboard, but what can you do.... Our old house had melamine particle board in all the cupboards so I assumed that it was standard (that was built 20 years ago). So when I asked about the shelving in the new house, I was amazed that it wasn't standard. So, we only upgraded the shelving in the pantry so you can clean it. We have left all the other cupboards with the painted pineboard. The rental we are in at the moment has the painted pineboard and seems to be okay, but glad I upgraded.

We overlooked it as well...such a waste of space...anyway we will yank it out and redo to our requirements.

We are building in BAL12.5 but our left side just goes over to BAL19. We've been given an allowance of 8k. Should we expect to get any of that back? Also do they actually give you a report of what that allowance goes to?

It was itemised with amounts in our contract before we signed but we had to get a bal report assessment professionally done we are NSW. Just about to have PCI and pretty sure some of the bal things we paid for haven't been included eg weepholes are plastic not SS You should check your detail drawings, it may show downpipe within brick pier. 14 14078 Ask the council if there is a chance of getting build over easement exemption.
