Building with Wisdom Homes

Aaron2008, we dont have any lining, not sure why there should be a lining?

We are adding a 60cm wall oven as well. Where did you put yours?

Hi Priyasuresh we were also forgot to make provisions for extra electrical such as wall lights upstairs and wiring in home theatre. Will be interested to see whether it can be done after handover

But upstairs is not a problem.

Hi Guys, Is it possible to add couple of lights for the wall niche in the ground floor in a two storey new house?. I forgot to add it. Let me know have anyone done this after handover?

We had an inspection yesterday to check on progress and catch up with our SS properly. We’re now at 26 weeks since our slab went down and 29 weeks since site scrape.

We were due to have final painting done this week but some gyprock remediation took longer than expected so we still only have our first coat done. All our electrical, aircon and plumbing fitoff was done last week.

We’re still waiting for tiling to be finished as well - our slab needed to be squared off for external tiling and some gyprock adjustments had to be done in our main bathroom so the window would close once the window reveal was tiled.

We’re about 3-4 weeks from PCI at this stage (SS reckons 3 weeks unless we have more delays for fixing issues as Wisdom have a QA team that comes in to inspect first, then the construction manager comes in too before we get PCI). The items still outstanding are:

- garage door and driveway (due this week)
- internal and external painting (due this week)
- internal and external tiling to be completed (about 80% finished)
- wardrobe and pantry shelving
- pantry doors to be fitted (opening was the wrong size)
- carpet
- internal doors to be hung (frames are in, doors are painted off the frames)
- mirrors, shower screens and wardrobe sliding doors
- kitchen splashback
- balcony railing and privacy screen
- flyscreens
- door handles and towel rails

Butlers Pantry (with bonus husband assessing if it’s up to his standards for washing up)

Love the tapware we opted for instead of the standard inclusions.

And the super halo shower upgrade. I really wanted to turn it on to test it but our tiling isn’t fully sealed yet in our ensuite.

Not so thrilled with the tiling in our laundry - we paid extra to increase the height of the tiling, the grout lines where the mosaic tiles have been put together are uneven widths (some too wide or narrow) a few of the tiles seem to have too much grout behind them to they stick out and the top where the tiles end isn’t completely straight. Looks like a DIY job I could have done myself (which I seriously considered to save the money but didn’t want it to end up looking like this!)

Mentioned it yesterday and definitely going to be raising it at PCI to be fixed if Wisdom deem it acceptable after their inspections. We only picked this up just before we left so we will definitely go over the rest of the tiling with a fine tooth comb at PCI.
