Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 13389Nov 18, 2018 8:22 pm stevezau Hey All, Looking for some advice on our laundry/powder, we are stuck on what to do. We have had to shrink parts of our house due to Council FSR. The laundry/powder is the one we are worried about due to the width. Right now -downstairs powder is 1600mm wide and 3010mm deep. -laundry is 1700mm wide by 3380mm long I think the powder is not ideal but should be ok. The laundry i'm thinking might be too narrow/annoying. All other plans i've looked at the laundry is about 2000mm wide. Hoping someone here can help me decide what to do. I could put 100mm back in the laundry but other areas of the house will suffer slightly. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Hi stevezau, Ours is 1800 wide and I would not advise to go any less than that. If you are going to iron in there, it becomes a squeeze, also any washing baskets, etc on the floor and there is not much space left....

Oz Thanks, we added back the 100mm after measuring it out today. Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 13392Nov 19, 2018 6:08 am GLO Jenifermarie We started in late Feb and had handover 2 weeks ago - they claimed 25 rain days with us.

W are claiming 69 wet days!!! Ummmm Im certain we are in drought. Sure there's been some wet days but 69? Has anyone recently moved in or had PCI with similar claim?[/quote] We started in late Feb and had handover 2 weeks ago - they claimed 25 rain days with us. [/quote] JenniferMarie, Thankyou!!! There seems to be a huge discrepancy doesn't there?[/quote] amf139 - they might have started counting the rain days from when you first signed up with them all those years ago.... On a positive, glad to hear that you will be moving in very soon....[/quote] Thanks Oz glad to finally be here.

Happy how it went throughout. It's only when the last items 'driveway, fencing, landscaping' were supposed to be started, RAIN started and has been continuing for 3 weeks in Sydney! Our house is ready inside, but what can be done with weather. Wisdom, however, is trying hard to progress even with the wet soil. I appreciate. We are very happy with our SS who finished almost everything ahead of time which is helping to cope up with the weather delay. We are 30 weeks from Slab now (not including public holidays and rain). Slab went on 19 March 2018. Hoping to get PCI date soon. I am optimistic to end my journey with Wisdom Homes as a happy customer.

So we are hoping to have a PCI date soon. Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 13397Nov 19, 2018 7:41 pm Hi guys, We are planning to organise a professional inspection for the PCI. Please share your experiences how did you go with it? Is it best to go with the professional inspection during PCI or let them inspect after our PCI. W seems to fix the issues what we identify during PCI.

W seems to fix the issues what we identify during PCI. Thanks That's great spk_homebuild, Received the official PCI email today with PCI date being 27th November, so expecting handover in second week of December. The house was all complete a week before, just final touch-ups and driveway going in this week. The date also concerns me that if any issue found by SBAC - not sure if there will be enough time to remediate and get any re-inspections done prior to Christmas. I know couple of things I need to do that I had decided to do myself to ensure that SBAC approval goes ok (atleast for IOC): - install clothes line - install external steps to glass doors of laundry and living, and to back door of garage (as they have a drop of abt 50-60 cms). Has any one here experienced any delays/issues with SBAC approval? Also, anyone received IOC instead of FOC? Is there any time limit from IOC when FOC must be obtained? Thanks.
