We break down the “boring” details builders assume you already know – coursing heights, FFL, slab thickness, door and window codes – the stuff that quietly makes or breaks your build. Miss these and you can end up with a garage that won’t fit your 4WD, a kitchen benchtop that costs thousands more than it should, or a home that floods every time it rains.
