Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Mar 11, 2016 9:43 am After following so many other threads and reading a lot on this website (awesome stuff btw!) I thought it was time to start my own. We're building the Glendale 45 in Melbourne with a few upgrades, I'll try to remember them all. Ceiling height to first floor 2.5 Third car garage Upgrade sliding door to stacker in dining/alfresco Add stacker door instead of a window to the lounge Add sliding door to study (the most of our backyard with be on this side) Extend kitchen island bench Upgrade to cat 3 stone and silk finish throughout the house Upgrade to overhead cupboards Shelf feature to bottom end island bench Upgarde to 900 oven Pot draws to back bench Window splash back with white tiles to surrounding Sink and cupboards to butler's pantry Water point to fridge Door to stairs for storage Extend laundry bench to the wall Tiled base to both showers Extend ensuite shower to double with double shower heads Double vanity to ensuite Upgrade to freestanding bath in main bathroom Mirror doors to all BIR Upgrade front door Upgrade staircase to timber All Vanity Units to be Elevated Upgrade sink and taps in all bathrooms to square Add a internal door to garage Upgarde laminate floorboards and carpet to cat 1 Evaperative air conditioning Zoned heating A lot of down lights and junction boxes Didn't go to tile selections as we wanted to keep the price down so we chose pre selected tile colours. Grey floor tiles, white shower tiles and a brown neutral splash back. Will try to add my plans and colour selections Re: Our Glendale 45 build 2Mar 11, 2016 9:49 am Kitchen colours Overhead cupboards in domain silk finish Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Base cupboards in polar white silk finish Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Organic white bench Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Bathroom, ensuite and powder room all have domain silk finish with organic white bench.

We got credited back for the standard so it cost us $5,500 viewtopic.php?t=82377 Our Glendale 45 build Thank you so much everyone. This all makes a lot of sense. I guess when you talk to a builder who butters up everything to look very polished, you get to start believing… 7 17615 of course there are legal avenues. You've already mentioned it. Sue them. I find it odd that lawyers wouldnt be willing to take on the case, given CCT evidence and… 1 23784 "Losers" "humanity" "off time" "your" "top notch" "love symbol" Sounds like ponzo is done using other people's toilets 36 23914 |
