Re: New here we are building the Doulton 56 with extension 389May 19, 2017 7:48 am Renman even if there's no errors in your plans it could be possible that the construction team work on old versions of them! Happened to me and luckily I intervened before the poured the slab. Engineering drawings for the slab did not match my plans.

Happened to me and luckily I intervened before the poured the slab. Engineering drawings for the slab did not match my plans. Very true same happened to us too. Every time we received plans there was always 1 sheet with older versions. Even with tiles they worked with the older plans again and again. It took us so long to get the corrected plans.

I already asked m about that. And they told me it's not a film. That it's embedded into the glass. viewtopic.php?t=86597 Re: New here we are building the Doulton 56 with extension 392May 19, 2017 8:04 am natlyn @doulton777 you should start your own thread so we can follow your journey!

The only error I seen was they didn't put square set cornices in butlers. But since then they have rectified it. viewtopic.php?t=86597 Re: New here we are building the Doulton 56 with extension 394May 19, 2017 8:41 am vuster Renman even if there's no errors in your plans it could be possible that the construction team work on old versions of them!

Thanks for the heads up and we make sure that they have everything correct. It's funny isn't it. We pay them hundreds of thousands of dollars. Yet it feels like we are doing most of the work in just checking up that they are doing things correctly. I never had to do so much work with my past houses. It's so much complicated now days. Because people that are suppose to be so professional and know what they are doing. Just don't. We sit there half the time correcting their mistakes. viewtopic.php?t=86597 Re: New here we are building the Doulton 56 with extension 396May 19, 2017 10:39 am Yup just keep an eye on them like a hawk!!! I found that errors I picked up early were all easily fixed. Just don't let it get to a stage where it's too hard for them to fix.

Metricon Metro 32 KDRB Bayside Melbourne http://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=84012 I actually made a big deal out of it at contract. I told them all their display has the film. I got her too check. And they said no it's not. But in my contract it says provide obscure awning windows. It doesn't say anything about the film or embedded? viewtopic.php?t=86597 Re: New here we are building the Doulton 56 with extension 399May 19, 2017 12:35 pm You know what I find makes no sense what's so ever? You don't have to have obscure windows in your bathroom . I mean how does that make sense? You would think the bathrooms have to be obscure more then the normal living areas. Or that we will give that choice if we wanted . The bedrooms as that should be similar privacy as the bathrooms? But it isn't. And it's stupid to give one neighbour a choice just cos that got there first. So how fair is it that they can enjoy their views when they look out their clear glass windows. But we can't. It doesn't make sense. viewtopic.php?t=86597 Re: New here we are building the Doulton 56 with extension 400May 19, 2017 12:37 pm dulie Yup just keep an eye on them like a hawk!!!
