Is it worth it? What did you guys have, did you purchased and installed an alternative? Thanks for your time. Navy Did price go up? Thought it was $900? Provide Brick and Rendered Leterbox to front yard $ 900.00 I have a price list from my welcome USB saying $900 for a rendered letterbox too. I wonder if ts because you waited to quote it for landscaping instead of adding it to the tender.

Navy I'm getting mine done (only starting construction now) Another forum of locals were talking about Brickies charging about $800 to do a letterbox. Plus I need it to be in same materials as house to fulfill estate guidelines and I can't get interim occupancy without it apparently. So I'm doing the easy Wisdom option. majestic35.weebly.com Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 4796Mar 24, 2017 7:35 am Rocchet NavyLion Hi guys, I got quote of Rendered Letterbox for $1050.

They are moving him to a different area so we are now going to be on our 4th, yes 4th SS! I think he was probably pleased to be off our site to be honest. We're now going back to our original SS who never actually started on our site before the 2nd guy started. Apparently one of the best (and MrsL he's Greek so perhaps the same as yours?) but my goodness I hope this doesn't cause more delays!! We are just having the worst luck... Is his initials GR? No... there must be a few Greek SSs! They're good because we're a picky lot! Me included!! Haha! Is it PE msjovi? I've been mia due to flooding to our apartment and have to move out 3 mos before completion of new house is really painful.[/quote] Hi addie, no ours is MB. This rain is causing so many dramas! What a pain you've had to move out. Hopefully won't be too long until your house is completed. Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 4798Mar 24, 2017 7:43 am Kirst10 Hi guys, ive been off here for a few weeks - and what an emotional few weeks we've had. We had PCI on the 9th. There was only minor things to do - some more paint touch ups, one room didnt have the carpet done and some bricks needed a better clean. We got a call from SS on the Friday after to tell us that after waiting nealy 4mths to get our garage door installed, someone has damaged it. I could have died. I told hubby he needs to deal with SS now as im going to have nervous breakdown! SS told hubby to call last week to see where things were at as he wasnt able to set handover. Wednesday came around and we got told that Di Lorenzo have run out of our carpet and wont be in stock till end of month and we cant handover till then! I was devo'd. One room without carpet and they cant handover. I said that i didnt mind moving in without that room done as it's one of our spares, but no (apparently he'd called the boss and that was the answer). Friday came round and he was not answering our calls and msgs. He finally called me back and raised his voice at me through the phone. I was hysterical. Called hubby who called HO who gave him the bosses number. Boss said he knows nothing about our house and certainly doesn't see a reason why we couldn't move in without one room carpeted! He said leave it with him and he'll make some calls. Within 2 hours, they were getting the carpet from another supplier and we have handover Thursday 23rd - tomorrow. SS was trying to call me but I wasn't answering after the way he had spoken to me. Finally answered and . I'll admit i was quite short with him. But we are finally handing over tomorrow. Phew. What a week. Im glad it's over to be honest. I'll be sure to post some pics tomorrow once we have the keys in our hot little hands lol. I hate to say it, but im not even excited. The last week has really taken the shine off it all and I just want it to be done. We have our tiler booked in to start on Friday as we have that to do and he'll probably take over a week so we'll be moving on the 8th/9th. Right before I have the family over for Easter!!! Sorry for the Novel - just new you guys would be able to understand. I know our issue pale in comparison to some of you guys. Just keep your chin up and it will all be over eventually! Oh Kirst, I feel your pain!! Nothing can prepare you for the let down you feel when timelines aren't met and delays start to happen. Look at us.. over 6 months down and we still don't have externals finished! I'm hoping you got to handover OK?! Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 4799Mar 24, 2017 10:17 am Jordann Saw these and curious to know how much they are later and if they work with stacker. Did anyone ask Wisdom how much it would cost for a recessed sliding track? Wished we thought of that. I asked Wisdom months ago if we could recess the tracts to our alfresco sliding doors but they said no, it's not easy to do. I know other builders that do it though. A shame cause I really wanted it... Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 4800Mar 24, 2017 10:33 am Chinoandbebe Jordann Saw these and curious to know how much they are later and if they work with stacker.

A shame cause I really wanted it... May I ask who told you no? Was it sales rep in display home or in your appointed CSO @ HO (Sorry not sure what stage you are at)? There were a few things that we were told we could not have during our admin journey, but have found out we could have had them, only to be told incorrect information. If you want something, I would certainly push them as hard as you can. For example we were originally told no pendant light in powder room, no glass shelve in ensuite niche, no changes to selected facade, but we pushed on some and some items were agreed to. Pity that there is no consistency. Can someone please offer some advice? Im DESPERATE. Because I'm completely and utterly exhausted. How long are variations taking with other companies at the moment?
