Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Oct 29, 2018 8:26 am I’m building with Henley and the kitchen and vanities were installed last week.

I sent pics to the supervisor who agreed it wasn’t the best quality work and would be fixed. The island is also skew to the cooktop bench by a few cm (picked up by my independent surveyor) so added this to the list of things need to be fixed up.
