Has anyone chosen "Evening Haze" colour...Building A New House

Nov 20, 2015 9:45 pm

We have chosen Evening Haze as the colour for our windows, down pipes, laundry door and alfresco beams. We only had a small sample and the colour consultant suggested it looks beige and that it would match nicely with the off white mortar. I've been searching on google and haven't been able to find ...

Nice! We looked at building the same house but went with another builder in the end. Just wanted to say -check the height of the little "study bench" in the kitchen. We found that the benchtop was too low so an adult can't actually fit legs under the bench. It might be ok for little kids b...

Re: Plasterboard for alfresco and porch ceiling?Building A New House

Sep 22, 2015 9:42 am

Hmm, ok... A friend told me they had their alfresco ceiling done in normal plasterboard and it's gone mouldy... On gyprock's website it says "for internal use"... There are fire and waterproof plaster so why wouldn't you use that?

Plasterboard for alfresco and porch ceiling?Building A New House

Sep 21, 2015 11:38 pm

Hi there, Does anyone know if you can use normal plasterboard (not fire proof or water proof) for external ceiling under alfresco and porch? Our builder says they only use normal plaster and if we want them to use anything else it will cost extra. Apparently the area is too big to use fibre cement s...

Yes, it definitely depends who you get. But I still think they need more photos of different colour combinations so you can get a vision of what it will look like as it's something you can't change. I actually just found an online visualiser! Have a look at this: http://colorbond.autech.com.au/onlin...

Phew ok that's good! So if I want to change any colours, do I let the administrator know or the colour consultant at Cosham you think?

By the way, we weren't asked what colour we want under the eaves... Is that just a standard white or did she forget to ask us?

Good suggestions, will try to google each colour name and ask Boral for addresses. Might be lucky and find similar combination of colours. Can you make changes up until tender? Hope it's not too late if I change my mind now...

Hi everyone, We had our colour appointment at Henley this week. Wow -didn't realise how stressful and hard it would be. I thought the girls there were meant to be interior designers and be able to help us with different suggestions and how to match everything. When I asked "what would you sugge...

Was it expensive to install downlights after handover? We are thinking of getting the luxury electrical pack but not sure if it's a rip off or not. They want $4,525 for the Monterey Belle Q1... Sounds very expensive!

Thanks jessicana10, I will have a look! I like the vertical windows best too. Did you have to pay extra for that? I would also love to have stack stone on the piers but is probably cheaper to do after.
