We asked for 2 fitouts as per displays and tweaked a few things to make them more "practical" which meant we either needed an entire new design or the price went up.

I made a spreadsheet of what I wanted and sent them that file - it was itemized by each room.

I also want to change/add things to our bathrooms but aren't sure when this should be done? We are nearly up to contract signing. Cheers.

Then give to your colour consultant on the day.

Your house is looking good! I like how you roll msjovi, every time your build slows down a bit you go for a vacation Hahahah so did we! I agree, those final touches are KILLING us at the mo.

They are making out like we've ordered something made of gold and is never ordered. It's the B&D timbagran in merbau. I think Someone just forgot to order and didn't realise the lead time! Oh well! Will have to go for a drive after work in Wednesday when it's meant to be delivered! When Shaun went through with SS on Friday (after stalking him around our estate ) he's already done all the masking tape dots (basically the whole house!) and there really isn't much to do. I think we have a perfectionist which I'm thankful for. He's made the plumber rip out our WC toilet twice coz he wasn't happy with how close it was to the wall. He knows hubby is tall (as is he) and his knee was against the wall when he sat on it so greatful that he's done all that before PCI.

We also have chosen the Merbau Garage Door, so will also be interested how it looks. I think we went for Walnut stain on front entry door and 1st floor front balcony door, so hopefully that matches up ok - but its a bit of a guessing game. Our framing is pretty much finished, except for very very upper roofing. Bricks (PGH Espresso) were supposed to be delivered today with brickies also due to start, but with the wet weather around not sure how much will happen this week. Plumbers were also onsite this morning continuing their rough-ins. Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 4379Feb 28, 2017 8:40 am So we got our provisional landscaping quote today.
