If it's on your final drawings and you paid for it they have to put in otherwise they are in breach of contract. Have you thought about hiring a private inspector for PCI to help you resolve these sorts of issues, I know you are not big on confrontation, it might be easier for you if you have someone acting in your interests that can enforce your contract. Re: Fairhaven Homes Newport 361 in Sth East Melbourne 392Mar 16, 2017 5:27 pm Yes, its in my drawings. But the reason they couldn't put it in was because the roof access is above the cupboard ;-;. I can live with it.. it just means more space to put things, but not quite what I was envisioning.. I thought the linen cupboard would be plastered in, single door type thing.. but instead its actually like a flatpak linen closet. So its double door, one side has open space for brooms and the other side has shelves. Re: Fairhaven Homes Newport 361 in Sth East Melbourne 393Mar 17, 2017 5:32 pm Went for a quick visit today to measure the windows for blinds. Didn't take any new photos but all the doors and windows are now done, stairs have arrived but aren't installed yet and painting is due to start next week! Re: Fairhaven Homes Newport 361 in Sth East Melbourne 394Mar 17, 2017 8:35 pm Ooh, could luck with blinds and such. I got a quote from Wystan and was very happy with them, so I will eventually get them to do my blinds and shutters. Omg your up to painting! You'll be in before me at this rate Re: Fairhaven Homes Newport 361 in Sth East Melbourne 395Mar 18, 2017 7:30 am Thanks! I'm pretty sure we'll go with blinds online and self install. My quote at the moment is for 4x dual blinds with pelmets in cat 4 2x blockout blinds in cat 4 2x timber Venetian for bathrooms 6x dual roller blinds in cat 1 All of that is just over 4k. Kind of debating whether I just buy spotlight ones where I'm doing the cheaper ones anyway. They're $400 cheaper for 6 blinds but means the wouldn't be custom measured and if have to cut them down a little. Just not worth the effort haha Re: Fairhaven Homes Newport 361 in Sth East Melbourne 396Mar 18, 2017 9:19 am Kat our Newport promotion came with blinds. Double check your paperwork as surely you'd have the same? Re: Fairhaven Homes Newport 361 in Sth East Melbourne 397Mar 18, 2017 12:19 pm That sounds pretty good!! I got quoted about 2k for 4 windows, but does include plantation shutters for the front room so can live with it. I will probably go DIY for the curtains or blinds for the living room.. still debating.

Hey. We got the promo before that one which was $1500 and came with $7000 to spend at colours instead of the evap and blinds. We got a blinds quote through Fairhaven and it was 3k for a single roller to all rooms but took it out at tender as we wanted different blinds to what they offered. Would have been much less hassle to leave them in haha. Re: Fairhaven Homes Newport 361 in Sth East Melbourne 399Mar 18, 2017 2:11 pm aloenyx That sounds pretty good!!

I looked at them but couldn't work out what colour to do when we have dark window frames so scrapped that idea lol. I've bought sheers for the front rooms already but haven't quite worked out the rest haha Re: Fairhaven Homes Newport 361 in Sth East Melbourne 400Mar 18, 2017 2:44 pm ^^; shutters are expensive! I purposely picked light window frames for them.. although may not work out since that wall is now being rendered in a light grey. But I'm having white shutters for the master bedroom. I think they are about $1000 installed for two narrow windows.. about 900x1800. Ooh, I thought about sheers.. I wanted a sheer across the entire bedroom wall, but so expensive I'm now debating whether to put blinds or blockout curtains, or sheer curtains over the two back windows. So hard to pick. 3k is a lot!! My builder was going to charge me $990 for plain white roller blinds to every window, but they were so bleh.. XD May I ask why you chose not to use GJ Gardiner?
