Anyone here got the real timber and not laminate? What are the pros of real timber vs laminate? As far as I know Clarendon doesn't do 'real timber'. If we were going to do it after handover we would have had to of removed skirts. Their supplier in Queensland does do 'engineered' timber. Are you doing your own flooring or are you getting Clarendon to supply flooring? Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 13704Mar 23, 2016 1:59 pm Hi All, Anyone can recommend any good contract presenters in Sydney for Clarendon? Or it doesn't really matter? Not sure if my spelling is correct, there is one Rimonda and Gagan? Thanks, Kenn. Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 13705Mar 23, 2016 2:10 pm bmitchel MinandB k3nnis ok thanks.

Are you doing your own flooring or are you getting Clarendon to supply flooring? We are doing tiles through Clarendon and carpet after handover. We saved $2500+ on not doing carpet through Clarendon - for the exact same carpet!

Did you go for bronze carpet range? Also who did you use for carpets? Carpet call? I think they just quoted us on silver range flooring and we would have had 4 upgrades to the carpet we had. I think it's carpet call.

I think it's carpet call. Hello Guys, what we did with our flooring Carpet/Laminate from Carpet Call. We asked them to removed it from tender, (we also have a sapphire inclusion ) so they will credit you back the amount, then when you go to your colours, after you meet with most of the Clarendon contractors, Then just look for Adam the flooring Dude. Ask him for a good deal that might convince you to put back the flooring. Ask him for a Platinum range with a discount underlay, you have the bargain power. You are in the best position because according to him theres no more marked up cost from Clarendon which i doubt. If you are ok with the idea. Talking from experience and it worked for me, it's up to you.

Not sure if my spelling is correct, there is one Rimonda and Gagan? Thanks, Kenn. We had JC for our tender presenter who was pretty good. In my view, it doesn't matter who presents your tender as long as you don't get pressured into signing it off on the same appointment. We reviewed and asked a lot of questions before we signed the tender - in hindsight, tender stage was when we had the most bargaining power and Clarendon was willing to bend over backwards to get you to sign up. Good luck on your tender presentation!

He apologized for the delay, said they want to get off to a good start and assures me my SS is one of the best and I will be very happy with the final product.... I must say, I've not had too many complaints with Clarendon so far considering how many hoops I've had to jump through in the last 13 months and anytime I have raised an issue it has been attended to nicely and resolved. So fingers crossed the slab get rectified viewtopic.php?f=31&t=82062 Madison 37 - site start 16.2.16 Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 13714Mar 23, 2016 5:35 pm mrrrrt k3nnis Hi All, Anyone can recommend any good contract presenters in Sydney for Clarendon?

Good luck on your tender presentation! We also had JC and I thought he was fabulous! The contract presenter was my worst experience with Clarendon though..... G was the sales rep at The Ponds. I thought he was also great. I'm sure he would do well as a tender presenter too. Good luck! viewtopic.php?f=31&t=82062 Madison 37 - site start 16.2.16 Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 13715Mar 23, 2016 6:49 pm Thanks. I already signed the tender a couple of weeks back. So what were the initials for your contract presenter? During contract appointment can you still bargain and take things off the provisional allowances?
