    House cracks - what do I do? Archicentre?

    Buyer Beware PS for Painter. The least the post does is alert the punters. In that sense, it doesn't matter what it is, for in future anyone going down the underpinning road has another few questions to check out when getting the quotes in that they would not otherwise have thought of. Buyer...

    House cracks - what do I do? Archicentre?

    Hi Painter, I may be an easy pull, but I pasted this post because it sounded totally genuine to me, and the writer offers photographs. I cannot see how anyone reading it could construe it as gossip. In the scheme of building and property, there is always something, somewhere that goes...

We had them cleaned in one day by guys who collected in the morning, cleaned (as far as I recall) by putting them in tanks and zapping them with something, and back they came...

    Who knows of a good builder in Adelaide?

    Good Builders I agree you have to be ultra-careful when you build, and I think that if you don't build in quality you easily find yourself in possession of an expensive home that will be lucky to last ten years. I frequently keep in mind a friend ten years ago who was just about to...

    House cracks - what do I do? Archicentre?

    johniebgood I can't believe that Uretek were going to charge you $75K for a small job. That is just cheeky, and I paid a lot less. I live in Seacliff Park Adelaide and I had the strange experience of being recommended an Adelaide underpinning company by friends in Melbourne who had used them...
