Love the laundry splashback Building Simonds Hudson viewtopic.php?f=31&t=80646 Re: Building in Cranbourne East-Mayfield (Simonds Homes-Huds 56Jul 20, 2016 12:28 pm Thanks hun!! Cant wait to see them on a big scale!! The 2 splashbacks are my favourite I think. The kitchen one will look like glass but will still be tiles and the laundry should hopefully go perfect with the cabinets -- FINGERS CROSSED Building in Cranbourne East-Mayfield (Simonds Homes-Hudson) 58Jul 21, 2016 1:29 am PerryFamily Thewoodies - Thank you. What stage were you in? Thats correct we are stage 11. I think 1 person in the stage has started as they had their fencing up last time we checked. Oh thank you for the heads up!! I will defiantly be on the phone to them; AusPost that is so annoying.. I will have to get everything delivered to work -- do you have post coming now ? Where is eliburn being connect sorry?? How long have you been in for? Thanks everyone.. I will post photos now !! Also if anyone has any other small tips to add prior to contract i would love to hear them.. We sign Monday and want to make sure we have everything right! I missed this! We were stage 10 but things are far from sequential when it comes to titling. And looking through your selections I'm smiling, we also have access cream bricks and dune joinery, we went with dune for downpipes as well but have monument posts at the front. Garage door is Dune too. We're on Adrian which will eventually connect to Berwick-Cranbourne Rd via Eliburn St which runs through Livingston estate. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Good news though, we have started to get mail delivered! Although the first day we got an elastic banded pile of mail for the entire street dumped in our box so I got to play postie for the neighbours. You'll find you use the extension of Lineham Drive through Parks Edge to Casey Fields Blvd as much as you do Sth Gippsland. The Coles at Shopping on Clyde is only 3-4 mins away.

Fingers are crossed very tight that what we have picked has just the right amount of everything involved Thewoodies- Oh Stage 10!! So you are only 1 before us then, when did you title?? Your house seems to of gone up very quickly. I think from memory our posts at the front are the same colour but we only have 2 near the door. I love that garage door so glad we picked it now!! (its always nice to see an example so hard to pick in gallery) Oh okay that will be helpful to get to Berwick saves us going via Ballarato Road. Your house looks very nice I love all your colour choices. Oh thank goodness ill bet thats a weight off your shoulders ;; oh isnt that kind of Auspost. Re: Building in Cranbourne East-Mayfield (Simonds Homes-Huds 60Jul 25, 2016 9:00 pm Quick Update; had our contract appointment today.. 5.5 hours later!!!! All our issues are now sorted. We had such a good run but this really does prove that if you get a bad CRC it effects everything... we have actually requested a new CRC. Fingers crossed. We had several additional changes to what we previously had, and should get our drawings in the next week or so once the final estimations are completed. I will post them then. The issues we have faced to date include: - Double charged for concrete to alfresco (should be included) - They put coloured concrete to the path down the side of our house and normal to the alfresco (we did not request this and it looked silly) - Doors added to our plan but not paid for (which ment they wouldnt be ordered) - Draws to kitchen were the wrong size and would not have fit. Only 1 added should have been 2. -Charged for a flyscreen to MPR that was already included. - charged for extra doors - Colour to laundry cupboard was missed. -Our Tv points were removed Other changes we have made: -We have changed the double door to the bedroom back to a single larger door as it was going to cut up our linen cupboard. - We finally got to add our extension to the house -Added extra draws to the kitchen and pantry - Flow through cupboard in pantry for additional storage -Moved the sink in the pantry - Removed all flyscreens. - Swapped the 2 doors into the living room with the 3 doors into the bedroom. (now 2 to bedroom and 3 to living room) - Removed the glazing to the bathrooms. we will be doing this oursleves cheaper. -Added noggings to the walls, for tv mounting and our fireplace. - Added Fans to the bedroom and alfresco - added external lights - Supply towel rails but not install them. - Shelving to WIR in a U shape rather then L - Made vanity cupboards the same size underneath instead of odd sizings next to eachother - moved garden tap If I was going to hand advise out to someone looking to build it would be not to trust everything you are told! We would not have found these problems if we hadnt of taken it into our own hands.. Even Simonds were surprised how many mistakes were made all because of 1 person. Oh!!! And we got told we didnt meet the energy 6star rating, 3.30pm on Friday (1.5hours before close of business) and we were expected to be at contract 9am today!! (monday) to sign. We had said we werent signing due to the fact that this should have been done earlier and we should have been notified. But thanks to Jason (contract signing guy) who was amazing we felt comfortable signing after he fixed all the errors and talked us through this properly.
