Hi. We're near the Gold Coast and used South East Floors. They were excellent to deal with. It was a full pour. My builder formed up the pool and placed the steel and then subbed out the shotcreting. Whoever you use for the polishing, engage them early and find out exactly what they want in terms of...

Thanks Marz, All going well...hopefully by Easter.

Update... We're generally pretty happy with how the honed concrete has turned out. There are a couple of cracks in spite of the use of a double layer of steel mesh. If we were taking this to a polished finish these cracks would be largely invisible but as it's honed instead (to provide slip resistan...

Hi GoGo, We're in NSW, just south of the QLD border.

Thanks Marz. Honing is now starting on Monday (weather permitting). Apparently it's a 3 day job so I should have some pics by Wednesday. The preparation of the pool for tiling is starting on Tuesday.

Finally, after months of delays we poured the external slab last week. Very happy with the level of detail the conves achieved. https://forum.homeone.com.au/u/74360_1544042950.jpg It will be honed on Thursday next week. Steve

Hi Marz, Thanks for your comments. It's not but perhaps that's a good idea. I've taken lots of aerial shots using my drone throughout the build Steve

https://forum.homeone.com.au/u/74360_1533615249.jpg Here's a pic of where we are at. The formwork for the slab that forms our outdoor area and the pool surrounds is complete. Unfortunately our doors (right of picture) will have to be removed before the pour is done.

Hi Marz, Unfortunately I had to terminate my builder so am in the process of getting the new guy up and running. The slab is completely formed up but won't be poured for a couple of weeks now unfortunately. Steve

Hey Steve, Pool tile company at newstead, Brisbane.... if you're in Brisbane. Beaumont are ok, but never got the tiles you want in stock. I could list you all the great ones and which ones to stay away from, but they're all in based in Brisbane. Thanks for the recommendation. By coincidence, that's...

Hi. I'm at the stage of needing to choose pool tiles for our concrete pool with spillover edge. Any recommendations for online suppliers or alternatively advice to steer away from certain companies would be greatly appreciated. Steve

We are having our external slab poured next week and it will be a honed finish out to the pool. Will post pics.

Hi, Who did you end up going with? We're about to start building just south of Coolangatta so will be interested in your choice. Cheers, Steve

Hi Ed, We're starting shortly on our build in Northern NSW. Do you service that area? Steve

Hi Alex, If you're still on this forum, I was wondering if you could report on your experience of importing your Gaggenau products and the company that you dealt with? I'm looking at going down this road at the moment. Regards, Steve

Hi Ninny, By the looks of your photo, we're fairly close by in Terranora. We're hoping to start building in about 6 months so any info you can pass on re builders would be appreciated! Love the views you have. Steve
