Im told a bad SS can really screw up the build Hi Bao, To be honest I cannot remember if it was only the ceramic ones, it was a year ago now. The tiles we had for the downstairs are 600mm x 300mm, big tiles so there is no way you can get those without the upgrade. We had Garry, really nice guy, straight forward and no bull. I prefer honesty and that is what he is. Nice guy and willing to take your call and listen. Quite often he would text me at 5pm or 6pm if he had a question about something and needed the info asap. I liked that and we covered a lot of little issues that way. We were not impressed with the construction manager Ben, he is the site managers boss. He mis-managed our issue with the tiler and rather than assist us he said that it was not their issue as it was not in their contract. He was telling me they would help sort it but behind our backs he was telling the tiler not to rip up all the floors. That was just our experience. Yikes on that constrction manager issue. Least the SS was good. Hopefully i get a decent SS too Re: KDR - Allcastle Homes Grandworth 45 MK2 318Oct 18, 2019 2:24 pm Homedai Bao Nguyen @JCGC107 ive read similar reviews about those guys on google, not trust worthy. Luckily i managed to get floorings for the dry area taken out of the build and used that credit for other variations. But still have to get wet areas done via AC. And its probably going to get allocated to Beautiful tiles considering they are only 5 minutes from where we are. Not keen at all. And im hoping we can choose another tiler from their list on contractors. Incidentally, are the builders range only ceramic? I went to beautiful tiles some months back to check them out and remember them saying porcelain even for the builders range JCGC 3 times that is a terrible experience. Hope they fixed perfectly this time for you. You mean you added the extra insulation from another supplied before the gyprock went in, can I ask how much cost you? Yeah, it's been a stressful time over the past few weeks trying to get this sorted. They are finishing the tiles today and we should hand over next week. It is coming up to a year since they started and although the house is beautiful it is overdue. We are in the northern beaches and I think we were their tester house, they have not built there before so they struggled to get some of the trades over as they wanted more money. Looking good though Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ I actually brought the insulation from Bunnings, went in there on a Saturday and fitted it myself. It is pretty easy, you just need long sleeves and gloves. Its called Earthwool wall insulation, anything above 2.0 is fine. Allcastle were charging too much to insulate the internal walls so we only got them to do the media room. It's good for noise but also keeping the house warm.

Cheers We might do that as well for the insulation. Wow it’s look good, congrats.

Congrats man Hi we are looking to talk to people who have built with them recently. We have signed mid range built contract but identified that a lot of things are not included.… 0 2019 Was the offer also on their website? If so, you could check the Wayback Machine. 1 1900 Hi, I am looking into doing a KDR in Melbourne and am contemplating using Kialla Homes. I am looking for feedback on them from others who have built with them. 0 14357 |
