Aww well hope you get it sorted, nothing major I hope! [emoji3] [/quote] The major ones are kitchen benchtop requiring replacement and internal door requiring re-painting. Blueprint have been very responsive is listening to our concerns. However, it takes time for things to be escalated, requiring a...

The finish looks very good. Who was your supervisor from Blueprint? Thanks! We had Nigel, he was lovely! [emoji1360] We are so happy with our new home. That's fantastic. Glad to hear that. We had a couple of stuff ups and have been working through them one by one with the builder even though we pic...

Hi Mate, How is the build so far? Hi Buddy, we reached Lock Up this week. The build has been progressing very quickly indeed. We have been pretty busy running around to look at all the post handover items as they arent too far away now.

Re: HELP! Electrical work after handover?Building A New House

Jan 08, 2016 5:32 pm

I would add conduits onto all light switches on single brick walls (even in the bathrooms). If you are going to be installing downlights, ask the builder if they can just leave the junction boxes in the ceiling cavity instead of drilling through. If they cant, then choose a position where you would ...

StarGirlStar & jpmontoya, Thanks! alibaba11, we also ended up choosing a different colour. They just did not tell us until just a month ago! Are you using an independent inspector? If so can you PM me his details. Here are more pictures. http://s2.postimg.org/ezwwqlfid/20151117_184706.jpg http:...

That sucks that we had to change the benchtop colour. Nevertheless, I found them to be very supportive and helpful thro...

That's great! We had our slab poured on 14 October 2015 and brickwork is about 75% complete with expected completion date of 23 November 2015. You are lucky in that you are still able to procure Hazel for your kitchen benchtop. We had selected Hazel at our prestart in June 2015, however, as they did...

Hi guys sorry for missing in action. We are expecting the bricklayers to be on site next week. Things seem to be moving so fast! I will post some pictures shortly.

Hi Jdvee, We are waiting for the working drawings to come back and I have now been told that the stone benchtop colour which we selected for the Kitchen and Laundry has been discontinued. Della Vita stone used to have 8 colour choices but only have four now. Waiting to see how that is going to get r...

Re: Toilet - adding a sink?Bathrooms and Laundry

Jul 16, 2015 12:23 pm

I had my powder room at 1200mm by 2100mm, so have a bit more room to help with moving in and out of the powder room. But, I have seen display homes having the wall mounted vanity with similar sized powder to yours. Thus, it might be worthwhile visiting a few of them. Below is an example of a small s...

I think your 2nd option, you are referring to making the WC into a powder room. I would strongly recommend it. I personally do not like the first option of taking down the wall as even most of the Ensuites are getting separate WCs these days. Get BluePrint to install hot/cold water valve and drain a...

Thats good! I did not get that as part of my package. But I heard from my sales rep that its a standard now. It would have cost me $1100 to get that done. But BluePrint had their "package" which I went with. Yeah it got added to the new house design just before we signed up, although the ...

Re: Difference in door priceBuilding A New House

Jul 07, 2015 3:32 pm

Another point to note is that builder's door comes with handles and is painted (usually to the same colour as the door frame). Bear in mind that the doors you purchase from Bunnings, Doors Plus, M & B etc do NOT come painted and you may need to purchase the door handles separately as well. I pre...
