Thanks Scott, i new that i was waiting on his feedback, i just wanted to check here if someone can give few valuable advices.

Thanks for your reply Scott, What other parties? You mean the new buyers? these ppl only left deposits and they dont own and won't own the property unless the strata is registered, and there is no body corporate yet, that's what im trying to register?

Hi Guys, Recently i completed 3 townhouses on one land, and im nearly done with another duplex, im in process of organizing strata approval from council, still not registered with lands title office. My question is how to self manage strata? someone told me that i can only pay insurance...

Hi Everyone, I've been with NAB for few years now and so far so good, i buy land build and sell townhouses, im a small builder/developer. Problem that i have is i do everything to reduce my income on books, so if i build 3 townhouses i leave 1 for myself and that way there is no profit...

You wont find many crazy people to lend you their builder's licence, its worst then asking someone to lend you their wife, this takes more responsibility and more consequences later on, however there are people with no brains that would do this, these people usually don't understand how legal...

Dont do render on blueboard, it only looks good in first few months, later it cracks and looks terrible when sun hits it from side. Once it cracks you cant fix the crack, you have to render the whole wall again. These days you can find some very nice cladding boards from James Hardie or...

Terrible. Fascia was ordered short, i don't think corner capping will even cover that, and even if it does it should of been installed before the gutter, as you wont be able to pop rivet upper end of it. Gutter hasn't been cut right on the corner, and the way they joined it looks...

First you need to find out why the damage happened in the first place, then fix the underpinning and leave it for some time to settle down, observe cracks over few months, and if its seems solid then fix visual cracks. Giving the whole job to the builder is ok, as long as he had experience...

Solution1. Mark out architrave and cut the gyprock so that architrave sits inside of plaster. Solution2. Plain back of architraves, but not the part that sits on windows reveal. This is more work. Solution3. If window is not nailed all the way in, take the nails out and pull the...

Hi There, Im a builder, if its feasible for both parties i might be interested. PM me site address so i can take a look.

No its not enough, $1500/m2 would be average for standard construction, plus all the other bits that can pump the price up to 2000. I'll never forget one addition that i did and it worked out to be $2000/m2 and i hardly made any money on it. Im a builder and have done many of these in NSW.

To answer your question, YES there is law for it, its clearly described in BCA. Double brick is one way of doing it, but there are other options out there, and each manufacturer has their system that could comply. But the system must be installed and must comply with BCA.

Guys please don't talk non-sense about waffle pods, and how houses float on polystyrene. Polystyrene is there for thermal purposes only, there is much more engineering involved in that slab then you think. Im a builder btw. It just sends the wrong massage to people.

There are major structural problems and defects in every photo, you should go to Fair Trading straight away and put a claim against the builder, otherwise if 7 yr warranty passes you cant do anything to him. That concrete is too high and there should be at least 50mm between finished...

Sounds good to me.

I can see some issues with that landscaping around the house, that mulch and garden bed are too high and covering weatherboards, you are avoiding termite protection warranty by doing that, and there is easy access for termites now. There should be 75mm slab exposure all around.

You really have to have basic understanding on how to use the tools, and how to do something before you actually start doing it. They couldn't make it more easier that they did, to install these floors. There is specific routine on how to make the boards click together, and if they are...

In NSW minimum ceiling height for wet areas is 2.1m and 2.4m for habitable rooms.

Im sure you had all these questions when you were doing owner builder test, and you should know this. -You need Public Liability 5milion -You need Home Owners warranty if you are planning on selling your house within 6 years, and if the total amount was over $20,000 -You need contact...

JWR no offence but i had similar ideas when i was 10y old. Have you ever worked 1 day on a building site? I think you should stop playing xbox and go and do some labouring work, just to see how everything is put together. I have seen proffesional bricklayers demolishing bricks from 2 brand...
