Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Masterton Homes - The next thread 4.0 11382Jun 10, 2016 3:38 pm Jasonm1 Wow hurts that i was charged $2600 for the double ovens... keep us updated on the upgrade cost to the silver finish please I assume the difference was because we had already included at tended stage (didn't have to pay but had it included) that we were getting upgraded to a single under bench with 900 gas top. So we were only essentially paying today for the actual oven. __________________________________________ House/Land Package Purchased:02.02.15 5% House Deposit Paid:17.03.15 10% Land Deposit Paid:18.08.15 Land Registered: 04.17 Slab Poured: 15.08.17 PCI: 17.05.18 Re: Masterton Homes - The next thread 4.0 11383Jun 10, 2016 5:47 pm Jasonm1 sachapman1084 To get the 900mm free stand oven changed to 2 600 under benches and a 900 gas cooker was only 1350 - which were happy with. Though are waiting on a price for the next level up model (which has a silver finish not black glass!).. (Yay) Wow hurts that i was charged $2600 for the double ovens... keep us updated on the upgrade cost to the silver finish please I was also charged a fortune. Then Artline charged me $2000 to make the cabinetry for the double wall oven. Better be worth it!!

Have fun in Melbourne! Love it there it's one of my second homes with work travel SVE this week was all about the fix. Looks like they've started to fix our garage door issue, roof, bath tub and they finished the install of the door handles that was started last week. So I hope that next week we get to PCI but I think it will be pushed back another week with it being a short week anyway. It's a lot to do to finish fixing the roof, gyprock patches, mortar/brick/weep hole issues, tiling, screens, paint and clean... Baby Gardz will be here before keys I think. We can pick up keys as a family so that will be cute anyway. https://mandgbuildatmulgoarise.wordpress.com/ Re: Masterton Homes - The next thread 4.0 11385Jun 10, 2016 8:24 pm Anyone who is at gyprock stage and had a waterfall running down the walls due to roof not being finished what are you checking for in regards to damage? Just want to make sure I don't miss something when I check the walls. I was told the water mark will show and they will replace those parts along with insulation. Double storey and leaked top and bottom. Thank you Re: Masterton Homes - The next thread 4.0 11386Jun 10, 2016 8:42 pm J+H our SS said he will replace the gyprock, insulation and the heat lamp it was running into. So maybe see if there are affects on the electrical points and joists behind? You don't want mould back there https://mandgbuildatmulgoarise.wordpress.com/ Re: Masterton Homes - The next thread 4.0 11387Jun 11, 2016 4:11 pm It's amazing to me how much waste and replacement there is in the building process. If they got it right the first time without damaging the house and fittings, imagine how much extra profit they could pocket. Re: Masterton Homes - The next thread 4.0 11388Jun 11, 2016 8:55 pm 1. My SS told me ceramic tiles will be laid with glue instead of cement. Does anyone know it? 2. My house is certified by CDC. Are we allowed to be present each time on the site when CDC guy does each inspection? The CDC guy has done 2 inspections already, but my SS didn't inform me of it. S-VE: I have a question. From the picture you sent, it seems that there is no sarking on the top before putting the roof tiles. Re: Masterton Homes - The next thread 4.0 11390Jun 11, 2016 10:13 pm Hi all, does anyone have something like this clause in their contract and have paid M for it ?"$950 per month for each month that the land registration has been delayed" Land anticipated registration date was Dec 2015 and was only registered few days ago. Wondering if we need to pay the penalty or its something that we can negotiate with M. Re: Masterton Homes - The next thread 4.0 11391Jun 12, 2016 6:48 am S-VE that is the Eco blanket. You obviously have Colorbond roof. That is how it's done. The blanket acts as insulation and sarking in one application. If you have tiles the sarking would be on the roof timbers then sarking and then batons and the tiles on them.

Wondering if we need to pay the penalty or its something that we can negotiate with M. M have price rises every 3 months and impose those rises if you don't meet the contract deadlines. For us they 'forgot' the first couple of price rises but hit us when we didn't get through council and do the land handover in time. Our total was over $12K so $950 a month sounds like a good deal to me Villina Lane 11/14 $3900 08/15 Contract 11/15 DA Approval 02/16 Demolition 03/16 Peg out 06/16 Slab 06/16 Ground floor frame 07/16 1st floor frame & windows 09-12/16 Bricks blog Re: Masterton Homes - The next thread 4.0 11394Jun 12, 2016 4:28 pm Thanks Gibson, Im just thinking if we can waive the increase or even just negotiate the price because anticipated land registration is set by M but we can't control if there's a delay like what happened to our land release. Although it's part of the tender so not sure how much we can do. Re: Masterton Homes - The next thread 4.0 11395Jun 13, 2016 11:43 pm After looking at our slab , there doesn't appear to be any concrete for the front porch. The plans show the overhang of the roof an a supporting brick pillar, but doesn't show anything about the 'floor'. Is the concrete for the porch included or do we put that in ourselves?

It wasn't done as part of the slab, but was done at the same time as the front stairs. Is your block flat?

They will incorporate the front porch in with that. Or AtLeast that's what they're doing with ours. __________________________________________ House/Land Package Purchased:02.02.15 5% House Deposit Paid:17.03.15 10% Land Deposit Paid:18.08.15 Land Registered: 04.17 Slab Poured: 15.08.17 PCI: 17.05.18 Re: Masterton Homes - The next thread 4.0 11399Jun 14, 2016 10:30 am Maybe it's different depending on the house? Ours was done at slab stage. Do you have the slab drawing on the construction plan?

Looking at the responses above, it may/may not have been missed, or it may/may not be done at a later stage. Worth asking for peace of mind!
