Are you a registered building practitioner with the building commission. I think that is what colbert was asking. With all due respect, Being a member of the HIA does not ensure you have the appropriate insurances in place etc, my dog could join the hia if he wanted to and he could put their stickers on his kennel. Also does your…[Read more]

The information
obtained about the proposed site will inform every stage of the venture. These

I am not asking anyone to do any research for me, just asking if they have dealt with a particular property manager that does his or her job well, who covers that area. Man you need a chill pill, you are an angry man, I hope you dont have kids.

My advice to those considering using him, his company or attend his seminars is to read this first. Be careful before you sign anything and dont rely on his own self confidence and the ability to talk himself up to make you a dollar.

cheers

Mike

He uses them as a vehicle to get peoples money to fund his developments (or project manage as he calls it) and to take a large slice of the pie. The only reason he is on this site is to sell these overpriced seminars. He says he never sells his properties but I bet if you knocked on…[Read more]

He did have a good time checking up on his investments though.

Check on the strata plan who has carparking spaces if there is one that is not used eg an old lady owns it, buy a…[Read more]

Level the block before any neighbors build, try-link retaining walls are a sound investment. Use rendered foam to build the house as this will reduce costs and consider using pile and beam style footing arangements. A floating garage slab could be used at the front…[Read more]

Tall with dark hair, has a small dog with him, then he is an excellent plumber. Good for lots of free advice and reasonble rates.
