They still aren't ready- we couldn't test any of the hot water, ovens, cooktop etc. But we figured we may as well do PCI and just add to their list- it went pretty smoothly- just a lot of paint fix ups and ceiling/cornice cracks etc. Don't think we will be getting keys this month . Tiler has to come back and re waterproof part of the shower due to a blockage- and cabinetry still needs tweaking. Hopefully it won't take them long! Now to email all the trades to push them back a couple of more weeks. Re: HGWA build Burns Beach- 8 months still no slab 447Dec 13, 2016 10:02 pm We got keys today!! Finally!! Tiler starts first thing tomorrow morning. Hoping to be in around Jan 10! Tiler should take 2-3 weeks then got trades back to back to paint, window treatments, splashback and carpet. Driveway and alfresco also starting this Friday. Cannot wait! So glad to not have to deal with home group anymore (apart for maintenance etc) Re: HGWA build Burns Beach- 8 months still no slab 449Dec 14, 2016 1:08 pm Mon445 We got keys today!! Finally!!

Send us some pictures of your driveway once it's all done! Congrats x Hevmal we have plantation shutters done by Affordable shutters and the curtain tracks were from the Blinds gallery and mum is sewing the sheets. Re: HGWA build Burns Beach- 8 months still no slab 451Dec 15, 2016 10:15 pm Tilers started yesterday and they'll have finished the floors by tomorrow! So impressed with them! Then they will finish the full height tiling in bathrooms.

Driveway has been moved to Monday as guy hasn't finished previous job. It's slowly coming together!

They are using della vita products like benchtop, taps and even led lights. My main concern is their led downlights. They are giving me three 25W downlights in living area and kitchen. I am not sure if it is a good idea to have 25W led or replace them with clipsal 9W ones as some people said 25W is not good for residential purpose. Anyone used them in their home? Your suggestions will mean a lot to us. Cheers Deep Re: HGWA build Burns Beach- 8 months still no slab 460Jun 04, 2019 4:43 pm deepak648 Hi, I am building my new home with blueprint homes.

Cheers Deep Hey Deep, I would suggest that you just get the builder to install plugbase or just batons, the lights given by builder (specially HGWA & Blueprint) arent good ones. You probably have better options available after the build. Like some others have raised the stuff given by both HGWA and Blueprint is normally sub par so put only what is really needed. You can find tons of stuff online about the issues people have had with Della Vita stuff.

This all makes a lot of sense. I guess when you talk to a builder who butters up everything to look very polished, you get to start believing… 7 19387 |
