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!

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? 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.
