I am going to invest in a private inspector. Unfortunately you don't know how 'on the ball' your site supervisor will be, nor will you have all tradies performing at 100%. My fiancé is a labourer and worked for private builders and volume builders sites. Guaranteed to have come across tradies influenced on drugs, pure dickheads, the ones that delay works, rush jobs, hiding what they can. (Mind you, you can't even have your own inducted/qualified/trusted personnel on site to do what they do because you know their quality and pay more attention to detail/cheaper/ than those employed... But that's another story. ) It's way too common and expected hopefully all your problems are rectified. I'm worried my square set cornices are going to look bad! Follow my building journey at http://www.twentythreesquares.wordpress.com We had Darbecca throughout our build and couldn't have been more happy with them. It was because of Darbecca, Boutique had to get Boral out to do our square set cornices as boutique couldn't do it properly. We do understand the house moves and cracks will occur but when it's been only 3 weeks and it's the areas they repaired last it makes you wonder. Oh dear!!!

We are just about to start our building journey with B*utique - Riviera 29. I have spent the last few weeks/months reading through the posts on this website and have learnt a lot from all of your experiences both good and bad. Looking forward to chatting with you in the months to come. J. Re: Boutique Homes 2635Jul 27, 2016 6:16 pm Ozden86 Jadeypox Ooh great such positive feedback.

We are planning on engaging Darbecca with our build too. Worth it for the peace of mind and I've heard good reviews about them. Which Inspections did you go with? They have 10 different ones on their website. Re: Boutique Homes 2636Jul 27, 2016 6:27 pm Waldorf_Grange_Build Ozden86 Jadeypox Ooh great such positive feedback.

They have 10 different ones on their website. We did all inspections from slab till final, had 2 re-inspections for peace of mind as our original SS got the sack and wanted to make sure new one rectified all issues before plaster then our final was also re-inspection. Re: Boutique Homes 2637Jul 27, 2016 7:18 pm Going with Darbecca has been the best decision ever! We had the frame stage inspected and the inconsistency and compliance found is a bit concerning, especially when you think you have paid for an inferior product. https://letsbuildwithboutique.wordpress.com Boutique Homes 2638Jul 29, 2016 11:37 am Hi peeps. I have moved in for 5 weeks now. Quite happy with the house. I try to test my refrigerated aircon to make sure it work. I found there was a tied around the aircon power box outside. I assume that's what it is. See picture. I removed it and switch on. Heard a *clank* and nothing else. I turn the controller to cooling 8* and waited few minutes. Nothing. Went to the unit and the fan is not on. Am I missing something? Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Boutique Homes 2640Aug 02, 2016 4:48 pm Oh wow! Congratulations on finishing your build. I am no expert with refrigerated cooling. Best to call Boutique as it would be still under warranty. https://letsbuildwithboutique.wordpress.com 10 16218 I would never build with Fowler homes.
