Thanks Sue, I understand the $6K is a provisional allowance. I am talking more about the 11.3 and 11.4 where it’s come up as a charge. Even with 40sq m for both rooms at $35 psm, that charge doesn’t add up. Confirm with CQ and your CSR but I think the $950 would be the cost of tiles plus the instal...

Hey suzK, yeah I figured that. But the skirting white isn't the same colour as ceiling white, so I wanted to check Yeah, it doesn't make sense because the skirting is always going to be a different paint to the walls even if the walls are white. We also paid an extra $750 to get the media room pain...

If you have white for your skirting and architraves and grey for your walls, then that is considered a second colour and is charged the $600 extra.
