It was an absolute pain having to organise painters, tilers to finish off certain areas, pavers for crossovers, shed and air-con. The majority of it was included as Sparky mentioned. Builders in other states do offer turnkey though which is nice. I suppose you get what you pay for and depends on the state of the construction economy at the time.

Well we may have a solution here.
Apparently there is an HIA 'minor works contract' that will cover the turnkey items.
We are looking into it now to see how it works and are considering using it to offer this service to other builders and their clients.
This will be under the umbrella of Independ Builders Group ( IBG) which also provides a service to small builders for their admin, contract preparation, working drawings, council applications and approvals, engineering approvals, building consulting, etc.
(There.. you heard it first on SS before it hits the market)
One reason builders avoid these turnkey items within the building contract is that it can affect their imdemnity insurance limit which means less houses that can be built within their limit.
Ausprop, I walked round your place last week while visiting our block and no damage to report.
Although I reckon the fascia and gutter work was pretty 'dodge' and the front landscape looks like its unfinished ( or did it blow away??)
You get the feeling that there are not too many experienced or qualfied tradies on these sites nowadays.
