Re: What things would you do after handover? 18Feb 24, 2010 5:03 pm sleven At the end of the day when I am spending $X hundred thousand dollars - a few more to me to have the luxury of someone else doing the hard work for me is worth it if I no longer have to lift a hammer, a chisel, a saw, a damn paint brush... or any other tool to do with building or renovating!!! (unless of course it's for the landscaping!) ... a few more... hundreds thousands? I whish I could afford this... If my builder were to do all finishes I would be well above 100K (considering their 25% builders margin) ... built a Promenade with Clarendon. viewtopic.php?f=31&t=25104 20-10-09 - excavation and piering completed ... 12-04-10 - Basins fixed.

Just a quick question about flooring and painting after handover. I am planning on getting tiling in the living areas and carpet in the bedrooms which seems pretty standard here in Canberra from the display homes I have visited but I will do them after handover. I have done a few searches and found out if I want to organize my own tiling, I should request the builder to leave the skirting boards tacked on. Does that mean the tiler will remove the skirting board, do the tiling then attach the skirting board again? If not, who removes / attaches the skirting board? My second question relates to painting. Once the tiling has been completed, and the skirting boards has been reattached, would the painter sand or fill in any holes in the skirting board then paint it? Or would I have to organize a different trade to prep the surfaces before painting? In addition, if I organize get a professional painter to paint, is it common for the builder to have all my walls prepped for painting or would my painter? (e.g. plastering and sanding of the gap between gyprock sheets and the screw holes for example) Thank you in advance!
