How much were you charged for the variation? We realised that we should have put two light switches in the WIR but only put one on one side. Maybe I should just get a sparky out afterwards. Re: Individual Design - New Choice Homes 113Feb 13, 2018 12:28 pm J278 Hopefully a quick fix? How much were you charged for the variation? We realised that we should have put two light switches in the WIR but only put one on one side. Maybe I should just get a sparky out afterwards. You have wall cavity on the side of your WIR so not hard to get done after handover, however it could look slightly different. The 300mm plumbing drafting mistake was spotted by us after the slab went down and the variation was raised and signed in December at no cost as 300mm would put the outlet to close to the wall to use the shower. Unfortunately it appears that the plumber has used the old plans for this. We also asked if the water heater could be moved and they did manage to get the water heater in the new location, so at least the stuff up is on an internal wall. Waiting to hear back from our CL. Re: Individual Design - New Choice Homes 114Feb 15, 2018 11:56 pm Our CL advised on Tuesday that the plumber will be coming back next week to rectify the ensuite plumbing and that the roof tiler is due to start next week. Intellegent Homes have done their conduit and cables and the electrican has been busy for the past few days. Re: Individual Design - New Choice Homes 115Feb 16, 2018 9:05 pm Curious about why you have so many doors in your Master Suite? Could the door into the bedroom portion not have been left off to avoid a dark hallway and to make the bedroom feel bigger?

I am a light sleeper and require a dark bedroom and the other half does shift type work so no bathroom light shining into the bedroom. We can close the master bedroom door and visitors/kids have access to a second toilet without having to walk through our bedroom. Guests using the Study can use our ensuite and toilet if the kids one is occupied and we can still access our bedroom. Don't have to wait for one of the kids vacate our ensuite toilet to get changed, PIA before work Doors can be left open or removed, they will only be closed when required and are lot more expensive to add later. We can put a obscure glazed door on the ensuite after handover for extra light if needed for a fraction of the price.

We went out yesterday and still don’t have a roof a week delay against their schedule. Wish they would give us an update as to why without me having to always follow up. I'm really surprised that your roof hasn't been done this week, the build next to us had their colorbond roof done before the christmas break and their slab went down about a month before us.
