I'd go with Splayed as well.

Maybe look at the Methven Glaston https://www.bunnings.com.au/methven-wels-4-star-7-5l-min-gaston-pull-down-sink-mixer_p5003400

Both look like non-Australian models, Personally I'd say away from DeWalt they have not kept up with advancement (i.e battery technology) with other brands & have certainly fallen out of favour with tradies. Most tradesman I see use Makita gear which I'd go for between the two brands, but have a...

Most builders will work in established areas, you just have to find one your happy to go with.

If you want a semi or fully integrated dishwasher you will need a cabinetmaker to do up the front panel & kick plate. But most integrated dishwashers need a 600mm wide recess so you will have a 20mm gap each side, might be able to get away with it going fully integrated as you can have the panel...

I think the Splay skirting goes well with Shadowline.

Do you work for Summit? They are pretty much the only builder to glorify drywall in the same way 101 Residential tries to push their Masterwall system.

Sorry Sethor you have no idea what your talking about. None of the cheap builders Drywall and if you asked them what's the cost to Drywall it would be thousands. So builders that Drywall, Summit offer it as an upgrade as well as BGC, JWH group & Dale Alcock all as an upgrade. Webb & Brown, ...

You shouldn't have any structural cracking in un-reinforced brickwork? What would you rather do see the cracks and fix them, or mask them completely and not know how dangerous the problem is? We just did not want to deal with the hairline cracks you get with settling, just seen to many houses hairl...

Just google Plaster vs Drywall, But basically plaster is better. It does have some disadvantages, we opted for drywall in the staircase as plaster will form cracks where brickwork & suspended slab meet. No way, plaster is not even close to Drywall. Drywall is a premium product with a premium fi...

We are doing it, fridge recess in kitchen plans below is for a wine fridge. Can't give you feedback as house is still under construction. I think you will be fine if entrance to Scullery/Butlers Pantry/Larder is open & not closed off by a door. https://forum.homeone.com.au/u/77583_1539100384.jpg

Any layout will work just as long you get the work triangle (Fridge, Sink & Oven/Cooktop) right. What are the approx dimensions & orientation? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitchen_work_triangle

Pretty vague question to ask, what area do you have to work with?
