Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Our new home construction journey with "Better Built Hom 36Apr 16, 2019 12:57 am As I mentioned previously, the main concern is not falling insulation (and eventually, it will fall out unless securely tied), but rather moisture ingress from the outside. There are multiple ways for the flashing to fail as well as for the outside moisture to get on studs and insulation. Building wrap has to be vapour permeable too, as otherwise it might cause even worse problem in the winter time (water vapour from the inside condensing on the studs and insulation as the vapour impermeable membrane is not allowing it to pass through).

I am also building with Better Built. We commenced our build in August 2018 and we've just had our kitchen installed and now awaiting the bench top.

We are ticking off pending items one by one: installation of TV antenna, pendant lights, wardrobes, washing machine, fencing etc. NBN connection due next week. Excluding minor paint blemishes, so far the only issue we have found is a missing switch for one external light which is not a biggie. BBH will arrange an end of 90 day maintenance, so will sort it out then. A couple of external tiles had cracked as a result of driveway pour which BBH will sort out soon. Overall extremely happy with the end result. Any advice on how to ensure the kit home granny flat that im thinking of buying will get council approval.
