Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 6929Aug 11, 2017 2:29 pm ozmonkeyoy What do you guys think about Tradesman onsite smoking within our houses that are getting built? The tradies have been smoking without a care throughout our house, and there are butts that have been stubbed out on the slab. Is it on or not? I wouldn't mind if if they went outside to smoke, but I think its pretty average to be doing it inside. Painters are onsite now, and the four of them are all smoking whilst working inside. Thoughts? I wouldn't be happy about it but I thinks it's normal on building sites. I guess it means not paying tradies for smoko breaks. At least With the painting the house will be well aired out and there shouldn't be any damage done by it. stubbing out on the slab is pretty disrespectful though! Building Monte Carlo 40- Wisdom homes Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 6930Aug 11, 2017 2:31 pm Javaff Excellent !! once the admin work is done it will be smooth and fun. Even we are thinking on how to spend the 5.5k voucher, we were thinking of retaining walls, post box and other small stuff. Any one can help us with a driveway specialist, who can provide us a quote ? Based on this we can decide on whom to go with. MandM+4 you mentioned about exposed aggregate for driveway, we were not given any options while selection and they did mention that W does not do any stencil cuts and it will be a plain driveway. Thanks. Yes we picked the bluestone colour at colours but I wondered if they gave more options at the on site consultation. I'm pretty set on exposed ag I think. Have you said where you are located, for landscaping recommendations? Building Monte Carlo 40- Wisdom homes Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 6931Aug 11, 2017 7:22 pm MandM+4 Hi, welcome. Your bricks are looking good. Hopefully my build won't be too far behind yours, I'm waiting for final docs which should be through any moment. I think Wisdom just mark their landscaping prices up 20-30% like anything they do, so for example my driveway was quoted at $8800 I think with them, but would be more like $6k externally. I'd prefer to get our driveway done elsewhere but I'm not sure how to spend the $5K voucher. I was thinking of asking them to prep the back yard and stockpile some soil and see how much that comes to. Does anyone know if W do exposed aggregate? Building Monte Carlo 40- Wisdom homes Think during colour selection Rebecca said they only do plain coloured driveway.

Our S told us the change location need to wait until for kitchen appointment not drawing floor plan? Is that correct? Is anyone add the extra water tape beside toliet (is not from rainwater tanker)? Is it possible? We are on the stage for working drawing floor plan. We hope to sign the contract asap, but there are always several drawing errors on the plan. We are still waiting now. Thank you in advance. Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 6933Aug 11, 2017 10:24 pm Home_17 hi guys, do you have any experience for changing the position of the laudry bench?

HAHA yeah this happened to us too. I introduced myself as the owner thinking he would put it out but no. Honestly you can't smell it after handover (and I'm pregnant so have heightened senses! ) I wouldn't worry. The slab gets covered with flooring anyway so in all seriousness, don't stress. If that's the worst that's happened in your build then I think that's pretty lucky looks like it's coming along great.

Kudos to SS, he has his trades lined up pretty well. Like all, we've had issues throughout the build, but these have only been fairly minor, and adjustments have had to be made along the construction journey, but SS has been upfront and also because we live not too far from the build, we see daily updates so have been able to keep on top of the progress. For others that can only get weekly updates, that would be harder, and definitely the SS role becomes more important. I just hope the W have a great cleaning crew, because there is a lot to cleanup after the tradies - not a job that I would relish. But this is pretty common in this game. Haven't officially gotten the notification from W for PCI as yet, but I know that flooring (incl carpets) are due to be laid by end of August, so can't be far off. Hopefully those in construction the builds are still moving along..... Can someone please offer some advice? Im DESPERATE. Because I'm completely and utterly exhausted.
