This is a crazy story. Most houses in northern Australia have full electric hot water. Very rare to have town gas and bottles is often painful.

We had all sorts of problems with the build. It had minimal to do with the company and everything to do with the Site Supervisors(s).

Another example was the Colourbond roof. We specifically wanted a light colour (to reflect heat in summer), with Woodland Grey gutters (to contrast with the roof and complement the render). We turned up one night after work and they had done the whole roof in Woodland Grey. We pointed out this observation and found out that the Site Supervidor had changed the purchase order because he “thought that Woodland Grey would look better”.

His suggested remedy was to repaint the roof and even came into my workplace during work hours to try to con me into authorise the incorrect roof colour.

In the end they had to tear down the Woodland Grey and re-clad in Surf Mist.
