Got my cupboard installed from ikea. Took 9 hours too install. It also includes a hamper. Before and after shots. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181125/dc5146d5a79833eceb63c9185a2d1a8f.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181125/2cba8618faadb5aaecf0f5d336157e15.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cd...

Very nice WIR Doulton. Does Ikea allow fully customized WIR? Why you left a gap between the ceiling and WIR?

We have pretty much decided on our floor plan and details, made a few changes to the initial plan. We are not putting in a pool. What size Hampshire are you building? I sent you a PM.

Bit late coming to this thread, but for those who may be considering. We are a week away from final inspection. Latitude 37 have been awesome. You hear about the horror stories and how difficult and stressful it is building and to have issues rectified etc. We have had none of that with our build. ...

Thank you @pencilhead for sharing your experience. I am happy with their process and conceptual design, also their resp...

We have recently completed a build with Lifespaces Group and it has been an extremely disappointing and horrendous experience. The lovely designs are severely let down by the appalling quality of the build. We are not the only unhappy customers. share more about your experience? or PM me?

Re: Building a Doulton in GeelongBuilding A New House

Jul 30, 2020 12:33 pm

The facade we want has "3D" projections at the front, so "technically" a lot of it is "suspended" (as well as being rendered), so from their point of view, the underneath bit is better if it is light and thin, but as I have mentioned before, you can't put a ladder agai...

Agree, em...maybe let Metricon to change the facade a bit to be able to support more weight to hang

I queried that, this was their response: Before you make any decisions based on the EPS, please see the link below which includes the technical specifications and details of the Dulux Exsulite system which Metricon use. This product is a full cladding system supplied and installed by Dulux, with mu...

Very typical formal response that they don't want to make a change. Not to against Metricon, they are good though other...

They have a client building one in Ballarat, and they wanted hebel all around also, but they were having a lot of problems with the hebel on the front (probably due to the complex shape of the projections), so they ended up doing EPS at the front and hebel around the (straight and easier) back and ...

They didn't give me the exact reason, other than this in an email. I researched numerous products, and found similar house design facades with hebel, James said I would have to ask the other builder about that! The mode does have numerous vertical and horizontal planes, so I guess there would be a ...
