Standard 合同 and no terms and condition can be changed. My builder is very strict. Procedure is very standard. It's very very hard to negotiate. I spent ages and could not win anything.

The good  ...

呵呵， 我builder的这两项也没问题：

1. can always finish the projects on time
2. quality control is good

不然我前面几位朋友找他们建的，一定不会介绍这一builder给我们。

再加上我们找上他们时， 曾经实地考察了我们几位朋友的房子， 觉得还可以。

不过，这些都是花入各眼，各有各喜欢 ：）勉强不得。

刚刚 7号台在播一些顾客找了一些黑心/不合格的 builder来建房子， 结果不想而知。

大家要小心啊。

嘿嘿， 你还有慢慢长路要走呢， 万里长征才走了不到一半！

赶快上图片让我们看看更新后的样子！！

唉，我也知道路还很长，大家都说前面几个stage比较快，后面开始慢了。。。反正我就希望能在圣诞之前搞好，然后1月去开开心心渡假～～
说到渡假，准备去美国，结果澳元狂涨啊。。。
照片我下周发上来～之前分用掉了啊，又只能传小于100KB了。。。：（ 大家只能看迷你图了。。

Your builder is good. I was very close to sign the contract with your builder...but changed my mind when the current builder reviewed the way to treat our site and then revised site cost.

澳元狂drop, I guess?

If you want, I can help you to upload the pictures. :)

对了，请问有什么好的网站能记录建房过程，所有人都能看到的那种，不需要注册？

builder建议我水泥倒好了就找个bobcat把dig driveway, dig trench for retaining wall, front yard, move enough soil to back yard, move the excess soil away, so we do not have to call bobcat anymore.
planing to build a gravity retaining wall by self, 希望到时候能找个学生来搬材料。$22.2/meter, (15cm height). 我打算到flower power or Blacktown landscape supplies 买材料。Blacktown landscape supplies 10吨运费只要$26送到blacktown.
planing to build gravel footpath, solar fountain by self after OC, because they are easy and fabulous according to internet, also enhance property value.
很多人只是把landscaping 作为应付council，认为种菜更好，我以前也这么想的。最近想法变了： 增值和心灵的味精回归自然。想象一下，早上起来是鸟语花香喷泉流水还是对着水泥钢筋舒服？
知道怎么找个学生短工？有什么中介？

--Totally agree! The reason why I did not plan anything at this stage is that our builder won't allow us to do anything until handover.

For retaining wall...I got some very good advice from a builder on the forum that concrete sleeper is good- less maintenance and last longer.

Two people told me that what they regreted was that they did not do landscaping and retaining wall before the houses were built.

Thanks! I know that one long time ago. Whenever I need to do research, I'll go there. Too much information sometimes, hehe

But what I want is a blog that purely to record the whole process of the building. You know, you can click the link in someone's signature and you will find the pictures etc...

Yes! I saved some money by asking my current builder reviewing the way they treat the site. Thank you very much!!!!

Although the whole process took 3 months longer than I initially planned, I think it's worthwhile. I know what I want.

建议用方的比较时尚，材料: brass, stainless (almost same price as brass), aluminium.

It depends on the height of the retaining wall.

The cost will be twice as much as timber

For your information, the quote that I got for a 900mm high retaining wall is $60/m
