We're on our new site today with our Geotech engineers.

The aim is to counteract the natural swelling and shrinkage of the ground due to moisture.

Before a line is drawn for our design for this site, we want to know what bearing we're dealing with. That means we want to know our soil structure or "Soil Profile". This means we are mapping where and when we will hit different layers in our excavation. And therefore, what our build will consequently be founded on.

Getting this information really early means we can influence the design appropriately and choose the best methods and materials.

What that really means is a quality build.

The NSW government has announced a review of the Home Building Compensation Fund (HBCF). This is great news for anyone building or renovating a home in NSW.

Why it matters:

• The HBCF protects you financially if your builder goes bust, disappears, or can't fix major defects.
• The review will assess if the current coverage amount (capped at $340,000) is enough considering rising building costs.
• It will also look at ways to improve consumer awareness of the scheme and ensure builders are properly insured.
• A staggering 1,000 penalty notices have been issued to builders in the past five years alone, with 188 prosecutions for inadequate insurance.

𝐂𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐬 𝐤𝐞𝐲! ✅

While the HBCF offers valuable protection, it's still crucial to choose a reputable builder.

Getting out of the ground is always one of the most critical stages in building. Between CC and starting brickwork can have many delays and complications arise. Structural changes dependant on ground type, underground services and unknowns and oh rain... .. did I mention rain ..can have a huge impact on time frames and costings.

How you manage these things is even more critical.
