We are building the same house. Barwon facade. Grand Alfresco with extended Kitchen. Just a quick question regarding your ensuite. Did you have the shower bedroom wall moved back 220mm like in the display house or did they forget to mention that to you.? I'm sorry, which wall? Also, why might we want to move it 220mm? The ensuite is small enough as it is. Which display are you referring to? We took measurements of the house at the time and I can't recall there being any difference. Im talking about the ensuite bedroom wall as in the display at Berry Lane. The display home's shower dimensions are much larger from the bedroom wall compared to the standard dimensions. When asked about it I was told the wall in that display were moved back into the bedroom by 220mm Oh, that's fine, because we're building the 19sq version. The measurements as displayed in Ashton(?), Craigieburn, are accurate of what we're getting. The house at Berry Lane only has the kitchen we liked, though everything is marginally larger in the 21sq. Re: Porter Davis Upgrades and Costs 516May 19, 2016 2:34 pm Sure can. With the 'live the dream' deal we had the evap cooling and floor pack, have deleted the evap and there's a 5k credit on our quote, and we'll most likely delete the flooring and do it all over handover as well. The flooring should be a 10k credit. Re: Porter Davis Upgrades and Costs 517May 21, 2016 7:44 am Thanks PVBuild. Has anyone gone with the Rivendell carpet included in the Flooring pack? What are your thoughts on it? We are trying to minimise our costs as best we can as this is a Kdr and our site costs are ++ Also we have children so would be looking at a hardwearing carpet anyway. I looked at it at Wos and wasn't terribly impressed but wondering if it might be ok if I upgrade the underlay.
