Poor VA she is really good hope she gets well soon! Re: Henley Homes 1667Aug 06, 2015 11:26 pm mirz TiVeena Thanks..will ask admin to send report and ask them what's the justification..also do you think it's good idea to have insulation btw joist? But for 2k is that reasonable? generally people go with acoustic insulation between the floors to reduce noise. never read that you need insulation between floors for energy rating improvement before. and $2k for insulation is a large amount. you done the right thing to ask for explanation in writing. lets see what they will come back with. Admin came back and apparently the energy assessment is done in-house by their energy department..their justification was my slab is now raft not waffle which reduces the energy due to reduction in insulation and also I have increase the height of the timber stacker door to 2340. This height reduces the rating due to increased amount of glass in almost constant shade. How much is whole house insulation if floor joist is 2k?

Re: Henley Homes 1669Aug 07, 2015 12:16 am Was you upgrade insulation to higher R-value or for the insulation in joist space.... Re: Henley Homes 1670Aug 07, 2015 9:19 am Wow I just caught up with all your posts. Can't believe the troubles you are all having with admin! Ours have been fantastic. We must have hit the jackpot . Our brickie however is sooooo slow! He has been there a week and a half and only about 30% done. We are watching all the others around us being bricked in a week. He is doing a very good job though, so perhaps I shouldn't complain too much. Re: Henley Homes 1671Aug 07, 2015 11:43 am TiVeena Was you upgrade insulation to higher R-value or for the insulation in joist space.... $1700 - 6 star energy rating upgrade includes R2.5 external wall batts and R6.0 ceiling batts to house and garage and R5.0 first floor subfloor insulation $709 - double glazing of windows to whole house except master bedroom, bathrooms and sliders/doors Re: Henley Homes 1672Aug 07, 2015 6:00 pm Wow you have it cheap..they are charging me $2k for R2.5 fibreglass/glass wool insulation..my first floor space is on 143sqm Re: Henley Homes 1674Aug 07, 2015 9:56 pm Nope..they just added in the tender document ..going to ask admin the items that add up to 6 star..but then it might be best to add insulation in the joist but I find $2k is excessive for r2.5k Re: Henley Homes 1675Aug 08, 2015 1:08 pm Got another question, in regards to the pegs and re-establish survey does Henley still charge you if the neighbours garage is on the boundry? Currently he's building his fence and I told the fence guy to put back/mark where the peg was..would I still get charge $850 for this? Hopefully Henley will give back the $850 provision.. Re: Henley Homes 1677Aug 08, 2015 6:30 pm U should be able to find them if u dig around a bit and then put a marker to mark the spot! Second Build, this time with Carlisle 2016, can't wait!

We faced the same issue..apparently raft slab seems to drop your energy rating which we were not informed about earlier.. So despite double glazed windows we had to upgrade our insulations to 2.5 for ceilings & 6.0 for ceilings ! But I guess you can negotiate on the price since you didn't ask for it and they might reduce their margins...definitely worth trying though Build thread of our Monaco Lux Q1 - https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=76750 Update: Handover - 2 Sep Hi, If you give a set of criteria as to what means 'good' to you, it'll give others prompts to respond.
