Hi They did fix this by taking off he tiles behind the toilet and side wall. They made the bottom row half size to match the mis sized shower and then took the wall tiles up further than originally included in the tender up behind the toilet and the side wall. In the end the tiles look better as we...

Can anyone tell me if they have had their bathroom shower tiles laid top to bottom instead of bottom top? Ours appear to be laid top to bottom as the tiler has cut the bottom row in half to fit in the remaining gap. Also noticeable is that he has laid the skirting tile after he has done the shower t...

Has anyone done or got a quote on a 3rd coat of Taubmans Endure paint? Hopefully someone building the Livingstone 20 to be a bit closer to what we're doing If they have a decent painter doing your walls, 2 coats should be fine. I considered 3 coats, but I really pushed it on the SS and told him I w...

Hi PiXi GT, Good to hear they have generous allowance for life style. I am building smart living series livingstone 22. I have to see how much it will cost me for Aircon.

For those asking about getting a credit on the oven, if you're talking about the oven that included in the best ever sale promo for $1000 you will not get a credit. The cost of the oven itself or think about what else is in the promo, if you were wanting a credit for even a few of the promo products...

Eden Braes standard "fixed price" offer on unregistered land is for 6 months and most other builders are the same. In the display homes there is flyer showing this. When you exceed that 6 months you can then pay $750 per month (single storey) for the first 1-3 months land is delayed, for m...

The price is what it is, i don't think any project builder is open to negotiations regarding their build cost. Inclusions yes you might get some if you ask nicely, but not the build cost

@bugbos We've decided to go with Basalto and also considered French Black. 20mm French Black was quote 1078 and 20 mm Basalto came to 1254. I'm not sure how our kitchen's will compare in size of workbench. You might be able to tell we're building a Cremorne :) Hi thanks for the info, we'll take it ...

Has anyone upgraded their kitchen bench top to French Black or Basalto? If so what was the upgrade cost, we are building livingstone 20 so anyone with a similar sized bench space would be great!! Also does anyone have pictures of it?
