If its anything to compare to our waterfall ends were about $1500 for 20mm - i still think we were ripped but i wanted it lol We forgot all about asking for slow close runners - our colour consultant did not up sell anything!! But Ive seen them at bunnings for $30 a draw so will get hubby to upgrade them after we move in.. not ideal but wil be much cheaper. $580 for showerhead ouch!! _________________________ Building the Noosa 26 with Coral Homes https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=80794 Re: Building in Appletree Grove NSW with Williams Designer H 53May 30, 2016 1:23 pm Not a huge help but our original sales consultant said upgrade now what you cant change later.. It really stuck with me - I wish we upgraded our cornices but too late. _________________________ Building the Noosa 26 with Coral Homes https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=80794 Re: Building in Appletree Grove NSW with Williams Designer H 54May 30, 2016 2:12 pm Ryalls_first_build We had the same thing with our builder, some things come back way cheaper then we thought although others were way more!!

Our quote for waterfall was about $1500 too. I'm not not sure I want them that much. Plus when we went to have a look at carpet the other day the guy said you have to get the floor in before the waterfall because otherwise they have to cut the floors to fit and it doesn't look as seamless. I'm just thinking they're going to be more hassle then it's worth. I might look into those runners at Bunnings, I wonder how much that would save us. Yeah the second shower head is a tough one. The $580 is for the extra head and tap and the plumbing that goes with it, so I can see why it's so expensive. But in the other hand it is something I really want and would probably cost a lot more to get installed later. It's one of those things that we have been talking about having for so long.

That's some really good advice. I'll have to remember that and have a good hard think. Re: Building in Appletree Grove NSW with Williams Designer H 55May 30, 2016 2:14 pm You should ditch the waterfalls and get the extra shower head. . That would be almost impossible to do later ☺ _________________________ Building the Noosa 26 with Coral Homes https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=80794 Re: Building in Appletree Grove NSW with Williams Designer H 56May 30, 2016 2:24 pm Yeah it would. There are a few other things we are waiting to hear back on, so I guess we will wait until we have everything and then decide. Did you have to get approval or anything before you cleared our block? Dave from Prestige should be coming out next week to do ours. Re: Building in Appletree Grove NSW with Williams Designer H 57May 30, 2016 2:37 pm Is that the guy i recommend? ? If it is i should be getting commission the amount of people ive referred to him lol We waited to get approval but looking back i wouldn't have worried - no one checked it or even cared. I called the council and certifier to make sure it was ok and neither were interested _________________________ Building the Noosa 26 with Coral Homes https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=80794 Re: Building in Appletree Grove NSW with Williams Designer H 58May 30, 2016 2:46 pm Handleless doors/drawers were a big cost for us too but it was one thing I didn't want to compromise on. Waterfall ends you could always do later if you really want them. We were lucky one was included in our promo and we only needed one! We are paying extra though to have the kitchen guys come back after we do the flooring so they can do all the kick boards and waterfall end. I didn't want any scotia/beading so that was my only option. Soft close can be added later easily. I would do the shower head, that's not something easily done later on. http://bellaviabuild.wordpress.com Re: Building in Appletree Grove NSW with Williams Designer H 59May 30, 2016 3:05 pm Ryalls, yeah that's the same guy that you suggested. We tried calling another company and they just never got back to us. $1200 for 7 trees and can be done early next week, I'm just gonna do it. Council probably won't even notice. KLB, I think the cabinets are worth the extra, just wasn't expecting almost $4k extra. I most just want them for the handle less feature which I don't know if that can be done with melamine anyway. Even if it could be done it probably would still cost a bit. I think I'm going to go for the shower head, it will just be so lovely!
