Browse Forums Building A New House Re: KDR - Allcastle Homes Grandworth 45 MK2 196Mar 12, 2019 8:53 pm ymiao4398 had our first disagreement with allcastle today. just a watchout for everyone. datacables to the eaves are not terminated. no plate or plug. so you just paid 165 for a piece of cable if you do decide to do it. their security company charges a $120 call out fee. they do not disclose this during electrical or at any stage. please be mindful and don't bother putting in datapoints into eaves on the first floor. we have just wasted $300ish because we still need to find someone to come in and teminate the damn cable. and most cablers will not come out due to the cable being laid by someone else. But u r getting someone to install your ip camera for u right ie. With a tall ladder. Thst someone can put the rj45 for u Re: KDR - Allcastle Homes Grandworth 45 MK2 197Mar 13, 2019 9:28 am MyFirst ymiao4398 had our first disagreement with allcastle today. just a watchout for everyone. datacables to the eaves are not terminated. no plate or plug. so you just paid 165 for a piece of cable if you do decide to do it. their security company charges a $120 call out fee. they do not disclose this during electrical or at any stage. please be mindful and don't bother putting in datapoints into eaves on the first floor. we have just wasted $300ish because we still need to find someone to come in and teminate the damn cable. and most cablers will not come out due to the cable being laid by someone else. But u r getting someone to install your ip camera for u right ie. With a tall ladder. Thst someone can put the rj45 for u the whole point of them terminating it and gettting IP camera is i don't need someone to install the camera for me. if i was going to get someone to install the IP camera, i would have got them to run the cables as it would have been about the same price. We have tall ladders at home and we have our working at heights license as well. just not a cabler license. Re: KDR - Allcastle Homes Grandworth 45 MK2 198Mar 13, 2019 9:34 am i'm glad we got the houspect inspection done, they picked up a number of small things we missed, e.g. the overall paint is substandard and really need another coat. there are gaps under the shower that has not been siliconed, and gaps in the windows that we missed. the main one is the squeaking of the floors in some parts on the upper floor, looking at the places it looks like the floor wasn't dried out properly after it rained. we noticed there was two windows they didn't install after the window frames went in, and the two places are now the places having squeaking floor. overall all, i'm still happy with the build it is a project home, the paint is not a biggy as we thinking redoing a few rooms anyway. but the gaps i'm glad we paid for the additional inspection. oh yeah, we were really happy with our CSO before, but she left and the person we got handed too, was the same person that did the pre-build selections, and we didn't like her much really pushy and didn't give us the sense she cared. Re: KDR - Allcastle Homes Grandworth 45 MK2 199Mar 25, 2019 10:20 am anyways, we had our handover, i can confirm you get Final OC without doing the landscaping. just a note to everyone in their PCI and final inspection, bring your electrical plan with you, and also a ladder and light bulbs if you only got the batten holders. we forgot to bring the above now there is some rectifying work that need to be done, our upstairs wiring is done wrong, as three of the bedrooms when you switch on the light the fuse will trip. the dual switches we put in did not all work properly. also they left out the batten above the stairs. so bring a light bulb/bulbs and a ladder. we are however very happy with the tiling.

We have signed mid range built contract but identified that a lot of things are not included.… 0 613 Hi, I am looking into doing a KDR in Melbourne and am contemplating using Kialla Homes.
