It seems pretty rampant in the industry though so not so much a JKW problem. We had no settling/cracking etc. Everything worked properly. Incredibly easy to work with, very flexible, as noted in this thread like the render and the media wall. However the communication was really quite average and that's putting it nicely. At one point there was no comms for so long I thought they'd fell into administration. And the build time went way over as mentioned. But otherwise can't complain. If you're getting a custom plan drawn up like we did I would spend a LONG time looking over it. As time went on a lot of things bothered me in that house that really came down to poor planning/design. Thank you 😊 for replying me so thoroughly Make me feel so much better going with it Congratulations with your home 🏡 good to live in a home you ❤ Re: First Home - Custom Design in Ipswich - Fireplace & TV 569Jul 02, 2022 11:27 pm allblaqk Are you happy with your choice of Basalt for the roof? I'm building a house on the Sunshine Coast and really love the look of Basalt for my roof but keep hearing that I should choose a lighter roof because of the heat up here.

However, I don't know if it really contributed much *extra* heat when compared to the orientation of the house and the hot western sun that blasted the house for hours every afternoon. ideal house depends on the site and location as much as internal floor plan....what is the distance from the house to all four boundaries, where is north, describe your… 3 15171 So it looks like we finally have some movement on site!
