Browse Forums Building A New House Re: AllCastle homes – Palace Regent 12 5Apr 04, 2014 10:20 am Hi Marmalade, I am 2014Bungarribee. Sorry i have so many question but if i keep asking the builder, they may upset of me. We did not see any orange colour pipe in Laundry at all. The pipe make the hole on the floor at Island Bench location. The hole inside the slab link to outside. I did ask to my friend and most of my friend told me same like you said. By the way we are going have brick on sometime next week but we did not see any pipe for Ranghood duct in Kitchen room or Fan duct in Powder room. I believe the duct should go through the brick but the plumber did NOT do the pipe for duct. Do you think ok? Or they already miss out? Wait for your reply, Thanks again Re: AllCastle homes – Palace Regent 12 6Apr 04, 2014 4:01 pm Hi all, We are also building with AllCastle and are currently in the framing stage. At this stage all seems to be going well. There were a few sunny days where nothing is happening such as a 2 week period after frames got delivered and not installed. This started 2 days ago and the second floor is about to be finished - and now the rain comes. Bungaribee - I thinks the pipe on the floor you refer to is for them to connect the electrical conduits for dishwasher and the like on the island bench. I also don't expect the plumber to install the exhaust ducts for your range hood and toilet - I could be wrong though. Cheers, jez Re: AllCastle homes – Palace Regent 12 7Apr 04, 2014 5:29 pm Hi jez07, Hannah already told me the orange hole (pipe) just a conduit for power point. I don't have a diswasher underneath of Island Bench. The diswasher i have in the other side under the tape water. It just a bench under will be a drawer. Who will be install the pipe for ducted fan and ducted rangehood? Is that ok do later if the brick already on? They completed the frame last week and now delivery all the material (brick, sand, cement...) for brick build. My neighbour house build with Clarendon Homes had a pipe for ducted rangehood or ducted fan run from inside to outside ready. And they completed the frame stage like me. They are about to build the brick as well. I am not sure Allcastle Homes builder miss out or they do later with drill the brick? Are there any problem for this? Cheers Re: AllCastle homes – Palace Regent 12 8Apr 11, 2014 2:17 pm Hi Marmalade & jez07, I did received email to confirm the ducted rangehood & the ducted fan will be install at the end of construction. How is your progress Marmalade? Roof on yet? Re: AllCastle homes – Palace Regent 12 9Apr 12, 2014 2:07 pm That is good news! I will have to ask about our ducting as well. Our build is going really well. We started in march and brickwork will finish Monday! More tradies onsite today (Saturday) finishing off the roof, I hope the internals go as quick as this.

You are so lucky the builder working on Saturday. How often they are working on Saturday? My one they did 1 time for Saturday (2 weeks ago) and i heard from Bob (side supervisor) said they never working on weekend. But i saw them they did for my house 1 time but before that or after i did not see them working on Saturday. Let see they will work at weekend more not. My house start at the end of Feb and now up to half way of brick as my house double story. Your progress so fast and depend on the side supervisor and the location as well. Do you have same side supervisor with mine? Bob Hauber Re: AllCastle homes – Palace Regent 12 11Apr 14, 2014 7:44 pm only twice they have worked Saturdays, mainly because of the rain during the week. They are contractors so they don't get paid until they finish the job This is very fast if your house is 2 storey. Others in our street seem to be waiting for bricks to be laid (labour shortage). I found some bricks under the back/side windows are not very straight so will raise this issue (I have different S/S to yours). And some people use our site to dump their rubbish which is very annoying! Re: AllCastle homes – Palace Regent 12 12Apr 14, 2014 10:38 pm Hi I am also building with All Castle, but in North Ryde. We have a blog which you can follow for details of our construction. link : http://www.buildingourho.me/ Re: AllCastle homes – Palace Regent 12 13Apr 15, 2014 7:10 am chaitanyakuber Hi I am also building with All Castle, but in North Ryde.

Re: AllCastle homes – Palace Regent 12 14Apr 15, 2014 2:58 pm Hi Marmalade, Don't worry about rubbish on your land as now Allcastle Homes have to take care all for you. You have protection fence but the people still dumb rubbish so annoying but you cannot do anything unless you saw it. By the way Allcastle homes will clean up by the end of construction for you. Re: AllCastle homes – Palace Regent 12 15Apr 17, 2014 10:58 pm They did a site clean today. Allowed me to keep some of the leftover bricks to use for paving the small side area which was good. Will be good to see all of the rubbish gone! Bricks completely finished and electrical rough in completed. Material for the eaves and alfresco ceiling delivered. Still concerned about site drainage as it has rained a little bit every single night, and the ground around the slab is really wet now How's everyone elses' homes coming along? Re: AllCastle homes – Palace Regent 12 16Apr 21, 2014 10:46 pm Hi Marmalade, with your electrical rough in finished, who does the tv antenna wiring? Ia it the electrician or the security guys. Our framing is complete and We just had the bricks delivered prior to easter. Dont think brickies will start this side of Anzac day. Re: AllCastle homes – Palace Regent 12 17Apr 22, 2014 9:39 am Hi Marmalade, I did told you don't worry about the rubbish dumb onto your land. Now some one dumb the concrete onto my land, at the front of the house, outside the fence. You said they did site clean on your land, do they clean all or only around of house within the fence only? Do you think they will clean the concrete outside of fence for me? Re: AllCastle homes – Palace Regent 12 18Apr 22, 2014 2:20 pm Anything outside the fence will not be removed. I would call council and complain, see if they can handle it (it's an illegal activity and the people can of course be fined). If it is only a small amount, perhaps move it inside the fence? If the TV antenna is not in your contract, you will have to arrange it after handover. Ask for holes to be drilled in the frames noggins anywhere you need cable run to the floor otherwise it will become far more expensive after the gyrock goes on! Afterwards go in and mark all hole locations on paper for future reference (or take lots of photos) Re: AllCastle homes – Palace Regent 12 19Apr 23, 2014 10:51 am Thanks Marmalade, i thought the builder will clean everything inside & outside the fence but now i heard they will not, i have to take noted for that. So bad people keep dumb rubbish on the land and very hard to catch them. Re: AllCastle homes – Palace Regent 12 20May 04, 2014 9:42 pm Ca6leguy What are you building and which part of North Ryde?
