Wow, this is a thoroughly fascinating and shocking discussion. I guess the days of expecting someone to do what ur paying them for are truly extinct. Some of the technical terms y'all used are over my head, bear with me! What's reo?

Wow, this is a thoroughly fascinating and shocking discussion. I guess the days of expecting someone to do what ur paying them for are truly extinct. Hmmm. I would rather not look at it that way. There are very honorable and ethical professions involved in building. True, I should probably have qua...

Thanks Michelle!

Hi Michelle, we're thinking of putting laminate floors into our house currently under construction. We've had quotes for Parador and Quick Step. Have also come across Classen, another German laminate, and it appears to be quite big in Europe, similar to Pergo but very little feedback from here. Its ...

Hi, signing in from Perth, WA. About to enter into a home building project for the very first time with my family. We've only ever bought established before, so this is a new phase. Put down a deposit last week on a block of land in the Banksia Grove Estate NOR. We're advised that land will title by...

Hi My wife and I have just put down a deposit for a block in Stage 22, so hopefully will title by end July. Nice to see the photos of progress on your build! Just a question: do you need to build in additional costs to connect to the fibre network in BG since there's apparently no copper in there? W...

Very nice! Things are certainly moving! What r those bricks called again? They really stand out.

Tellmeaboudit. The only ISPs u can use.are all mobs I never heard.of before, none fm WA. Still, if we get good speeds and reliable access, can't complain. It's the unknown that bothers me. Oh well, if internet and TV all go off, might not be such a bad thing :)

Hello everyone. I thought it time that I start a new topic for our (planned) build in BG. We're a family of 4 and this will be our first build. Hopefully, our last ;). We've signed a PPA with Ben Trager Homes and have just been given our selection file although pre start is a long way off. We're onl...

Pretty neat! Look forward to seeing ur plans! Craigie'a a good location

Thanks, oncewerefurriers. We did check out ur blog a bit before we decided on BTH! Our block is pretty small, so we're going with the Trevion. We haven't changed a great deal. We flipped the family room and kitchen, and then merged the WIP with part of the garage store area to get a larger WIP and s...

Sheesh, typo above, that should have been doors on the WIRs in 2 bedrooms above... Anyway, here goes with the plans.... Ground Floor [img=http://s26.postimg.org/tnynroen9/Ronfire_Lower_Floor.jpg] First Floor [img=http://s26.postimg.org/maj9spulh/Ronfire_First_Floor.jpg] Ok, that seems to have worked!

Welcome to the Ben trager club :) we are building a very similar plan to you, ours is the Steffen but we added a theatre like the Trevion and also a scullery. If you search Ben trager dawesville you will find my thread and plans :) we are very excited (I was also very happy to have the selection fi...

Me and my partner have also just signed up with BT homes as we were very impressed with the quality standard inclusions and prices, we have gone for a single storey home and so far really happy Cant wait till that slab is down!!! :D Hi mwemy, sounds good! Where are you building?

http://i1129.photobucket.com/albums/m516/mwemy/IMG_1009.jpg sorry to hijack the thread :s but hope this works Very nice! We went with the dbl storey to make best use if our small block but this is really well laid out. No worries, thread is open for all to contribute!

Sounds great! Not a small thing to have over 5 grand knocked off the cost of a balcony! I certainly hope our site survey also comes back with reduced site costs - I can always hope, can't I?! :)

May I ask where you're planning to pick your tiles from? We did the rounds of the stipulated tile places last weekend, even though our prestart is several weeks off. Sigh....sounds like that'll be the first of several visits.

Hi Hopeful78 I figure you meant a cabinet maker? I know someone who is and works with Laminex products. I can PM you his details if you like; however I do not know his rates or his availability, etc. You can but ask.
