Re: Anyone building with Wisdom Homes?? 152Sep 19, 2012 6:43 am Lot927 Its the promise to fix that is leaving us waiting.. for example we cannot use our powder room shower door because it is misaligned and if we do move it I am sure the grinding will shatter the other glass panel... great trying to explain to the kids that its out of action. We have lots of small issues that they should be fixing but are not, and then its our floor tiles.. just like the Brick saga... . So I think at the end of the day some people get a good run and some dont. Hi lot 927, Sorry about your saga with W... I can't imagine although from photos your house looks perfect & beautiful. Do you have photos for the tiles you mentioned here? What did W say about the tiles? I hope they'll give you good solution. I'm also worry now of how my polished porc tiles looks like....

I think this is value for money .But not sure about building process and quality of their work Hi Bigjo, There's someone in the forum building with Fowler, kikichan, you can PM her to find out about this builder. She's at the same stage as mine. Re: Anyone building with Wisdom Homes?? 154Sep 19, 2012 7:09 am Wilcress, the camera can be very deceptive.. it hides the blemishes...

I will try and take a photo today of the tiles. I could go and take pics of the stains, marks etc, but I would be here forever because every tile and grout is marked.

Hi The Rise, Was that 20 months from signing up to W or from when W actually started on site? Even with rain days that is extremely long for a build. Every builder is different because they all outsource tradies now days which means one areas build is different to the next but they should all be to the quality of the display. After all that is what we pay for and expect. It is hard choosing a builder because even the biggest have very mixed reviews. Maybe it is just luck. Anyone building with Wisdom Homes?? 156Sep 19, 2012 4:24 pm Hi Lot927, Was your flooring done by Di Lorenzo? Most of the builders use them including W. Was the issue with the tiles when installed or has these been damaged afterwards. With poly tiles they (Di Lorenzo) have a disclaimer about optical hazing... Hope they are not classifying your issue as this. Also know that W has stopped including the poly tiles in their standard inclusions because of the amount of issues it creates. Hope you get these issues sorted. Cheers Re: Anyone building with Wisdom Homes?? 157Sep 19, 2012 6:33 pm Hi Ironbark My tiles are a matt finish and I think optical hazing refers more to the polished shiny look. There are also other visible blemishes in the tiles that are inconsistent, for example lines of raised dots on some tiles but not others. Its not the wax that protected them but actual small dots raised in the tile itself. As you can see from my pic posted its ripples rather than the smudgy haze. I would prefer the smudgy haze...

Yep, I think I can see the ripple around your fridge section there and waterfall... Can you ask an independent inspector for opinion ? Howard said there's a 3 months inspection if you want to use him. Do you have photo before and after they clean your tiles? You might have a good case if before photo show no ripples.

Cheers OMG, I hope my polished floor don't get this haze... Otherwise it's gonna be another saga with W.... Willcres in regards to optical haze I would say that Di Lorenzo got you to sign a release of responsibility waiver ( Beaumonts do the same) it means that if you get it they take no responsibility and wisdom would then say you signed it so there would be no comeback for you Can someone please offer some advice?
