A new schedule will be issued that takes into account the final figure, with all your upgrades/selections. beeprelude - Yes, the rain has certainly been a hurdle for us. Our frame was delivered on the 10th but we've had to wait for clear weather. So frustrating after the sunny, hot summer that we've experienced!!! After all the problems and delays we've encountered with our project, this past wet week felt like the rain gods were now having a lend of me. CathyP - We too have the Ivy facade, although we modified it a little to include some planking. Selections was overwhelming ... so many decisions. I wanted neutrals for the big ticket items, as I'm going for a coastal colour palette my selections were mostly greys/whites/blues. EXTERNAL Bricks - PGH Stone with flush off white mortar Windows - Pearl White Roof - Colorbond Surfmist Fascia & Guttering - Dune Rainwater Tank - Dune Garage Door - Tuscan Woodgrain in Surfmist Front Portico - upgraded to include having this tiled in a textured, stone look tile Front Door - Savoy XS45 (vertical stripe glass panels) painted Taubmans Lake Louise (bright teal). Vertical glass panels upgraded to textured 'Africana' glass. INTERNAL Floor Tiles - Greta White 450x450 Carpet - 'Zest' in colour Dynamo Underlay - upgraded to 10mm gold foam Walls - Taubmans June Fog Trim & all internal doors - upgraded to have painted Taubmans Crisp White Doors - HAG11 (vertical indents/stripes on doors) Feature Door/s - upgraded to frosted glass french door on WIP and Laundry Wardrobe doors - upgraded to Smartrobe sliding doors, painted Crisp White Cornice - upgraded to Square Set in all living areas. Cove cornice in bedrooms. Benchtops - upgraded to Ash Grey Quantum Quartz Kitchen Splashback - upgraded to 75x300 handmade gloss white tile laid brickbond Lower kitchen cabinets and drawers - Matt White (with brushed chrome handles) Upper kitchen cabinets - Ravine texture in Maison Oak (with tipon catches) Recessed Rangehood 900mm Smeg Freestanding Cooker Standard sink Only kitchen layout upgrade was to include the slide out bins (we had two sets of pot drawers included by sales agent). We upgraded tiles in Ensuite and Main Bathroom (used feature tiles not in the standard range) but kept everything else the same in terms of layout and vanity. Anything else, just ask. I found it less overwhelming to have a colour palette to stick to - narrows the options instantly. Thank you so much for your reply. It is very helpful. I want to be prepared with my list of ideas for the day so I have an idea of what I want as I know it can get very confusing and it is great to see what you have chosen.

You get to see the size of the rooms in person instead of on paper. Fingers crossed the rain holds off for you.

We have a swimming pool instead of a slab!

Is it the case that as long as they haven't handed over the house they can continue to claim extensions? Our contract period of 210 days has ended already and we aren't even at lock up. But due to the recent rain in Sydney, Masterton has been claiming rain delays. This of course reduces the number of days they have to pay. Just wanted to see if this is standard practice? 4 17013 i imagine you also have another contract with an architect? and yeah, whatever other's said about special conditions and appendices 16 16270 Hi all I am looking to run a water line under my concrete footpath which is directly next to my home, was seeing if this is possible without cutting the entire section… 0 20442 |
