Really annoyed... Went past our place this morning as we were told tiling had begun yesterday. Had a peek through the ensuite window only to realise that the tiles that had been put on the walls (we're having shower height tiling in ensuite/bathroom) were the tiles that we picked for the floor. We'r...

This happened with us as well, the final kitchen drawings changed from the drawings at contract, but all was fixed. Our island is 920mm, we're having a 40mm benchtop, so the thickness could affect the height, I noticed that our other kitchen benchtops (not island) are 900mm, but the benchtop will be...

Sorry, I wasn't clear, meant concreters who do exposed aggregate.

Hi, Sorry if this has been asked before, I'm after any recommendations for exposed aggregate in Melbourne, we're building in Greenvale. Thanks

Hi all, For those of you who have had concreting done, do you have any suggestions for good concreters? We're looking at getting exposed aggregate. Thanks

Hi I have bought the exact chairs that you have described about 6 weeks ago to go with my table that is very similar to yours. I also had the leather ones that were purchased with the table. I got mine from Harvey Norman and they were called Bordeaux chairs. Sorry i don't know how to post a photo. ...

I just seen the other day my neighbour get similar chairs delivered that where White just have to remember what shop .its the one in canning ton near toys rus . Are you in perth I'm in Melbourne

Thanks for the suggestions so far, I'll have a look at those. I found the ikea ones while googling earlier so they might be a back up plan if we don't find others.

Hi, Don't know if anyone can help, but we've found a dining table that we love, but we don't like the chairs. Luckily for us we can buy the table on its own, but where to find chairs that we like is another problem. Here's the table with the chairs that it comes with: http://furnituretrader.com.au/m...

Received my tickets this morning, thanks homeone!

I know it's a bit late, hopefully I made it!

Hi Neighbour! I'm sure as our homes begin construction we'll be seeing each other soon. In regards to fencing, can anyone verify that the required height for fencing is 2m including capping? We've just received a quote for out back fence that lists the height as 1.8m, we want to make sure it's the c...

We are also building with Porter Davis on Iris Grove, we're building the Essex and our start is scheduled for August. We're lot 537, which lot are you?

Thanks for that tlblhayward. We are actually wanting a small broom cupboard at the end of our laundry to be made from laminex as it would minimise the space needed as compared to using an internal door, which then requires a door frame, etc..which the drafter has currently drawn up. Since we current...

Thanks for that, I'll have to have a look through those. HomeAngels, we are actually having that Gainsborough handle/lock for our powder room.

Hi all, We are having two sliding doors to our theatre room and want to find our own door handles to replace the standard ones that are put on by the builder. These will be our doors http://thebuildingsite.net.au/image.php?type=P&id=11265 Does anyone know where I can find some nice chrome pull h...

Just wondering if anyone has had a linen closet/long cupboard built in their laundry. We are looking to get one put in, but were told that it might not be possible to do in laminex due to the size of the door. I was sure I've seen them done before & not sure if having the silk gloss finish would...

Hi everyone, New here & building the Essex27. For those of of you who have/are doing your own flooring, particularly laminate floorboards, how did you go about painting/cutting the skirting as I've been told that it's just left unpainted and uncut.
