Re: Recess floors to all wet areasBathrooms and Laundry

Jan 05, 2017 8:28 am

Hi Abi! Our builder included this at no charge for our place - it is worth noting though that I actually think it is going to end up a step down into our wet areas once we put carpet in that side of the house - as they drop it so it is pretty much level once complete with the existing slab. I person...

Hi! Our deposits paid counted towards our deposit. With ours we had to have 10% of the total loan amount. We were lucky that our valuation came in higher than purchase price - but if it doesn't you will have LMI (quite a few thousand) to pay which they put on your loan amount! Hope this helps!

We bought a block with almost 3-4m of fill in some areas - it was tightly compacted so not too much extra was needed - we needed 100m of piering on a 180m house and we also had an M class slab - we did build our house up further on the fill as well so that affected us - but it wasn't too much more c...

Hey Stuart05, hope all went well with the mortgage broker, we are going through ours at the moment, I'm ready just to sign the dotted line! I'm trying to work out if foot paths and the access road to the Illawarra Hwy needs to be done prior to LL submitting for registration, have you heard anything ...

Hi Alrightdave, just wanted to confirm if you went ahead with epoxy anywhere? we are considering it for the main living and kitchen areas of the house, but are a bit unsure. If any one else has used epoxy for areas other than garages id love to hear from you too!

It could possibly be an elm, if it isn't golden elm's look very similar but they turn yellow.

I am waiting to hear back from the developer re; driveway/pad I'll let you know. I saw they were bringing a lot of something in but wasn't sure what it was - pretty new to this but coal wash isn't sounding nice!

We bought in release 1 and wanted to move the driveway and were told we couldn't because they provide which is why I remember it so vividly. I'll go back and check my email - I hope I have it in writing

Hi all, we are having plans done by our builder and getting them to quote our driveway, when we were sold the block my wife and I are 100% that we were told the plain concrete "pad" that crosses over the path and the street cut in will be done by the estate and then we do colour concrete f...

We got a 430 block, which we are happy with - it was our first preference! As for builders, there is way too many to choose from. We have narrowed it down to Coral Homes, Eden Brae or Sekisui House. Just waiting for some estimates to come back, as price will be a major factor! Yes we got the buildin...

Hey Stuart05! We were lucky enough to secure a block in the first release too! Now the waiting game starts! This is the first time we have built, so a lot too learn. We are hoping to put in a combustion fire place as a feature, our builder said they can do it but have to check with council if we are...
