Yay! Glad that your found some good options!

Should we be worried about this much of water pooling on our slab?


Our Acacia build - viewtopic.php?t=86619

I have three area of water pooling too. I just swept off with a large broom.

I don't think it matters unless there are deep pools (not level) or if it's fresh (which it isn't that new!)

Thanks for that, I will sweep off later tonight as I think we are due for more rain today! Was meant to have frames delivered yesterday, we had some wooden planks delivered but don't think these are the frames.

I would have thought you would have the same carpenters that did our place and did the place across the road from us. it's a team of a two key guys. I don't know if I know their names but what's going on? Nothing has been happening anywhere at this stage due to the rain. You probably will get a spate of letters too about rain and how it will affect timeframes.

We have frames!!
And rain .... guess we will have to wait it out for a few days

Yay for frames. Looks like your frames will be up before me.

cant wait to see these up but that will be dependent on carpenter availability and good weather I expect

Hey trimum, went to Tile Direct preview today, told 300x600 was not included for our build. But I also noticed you had 'infinity inclusions', it's not something our nhc offered is though. Could this be why you have a bigger selection range?

Maybe but I thought it was just what was allocated for Burbank builds in general. I have checked what tiles direct said and I have 300x600 written down as one of the options....they had to go away and check when we first went in and asked as Burbank had just contracted to them and they weren't completely sure at first what was in the builders range. We are going again in a couple of weeks time to choose our selections so will ask again. We weren't going to go with the 300x600 but will ask about those anyway and confirm what they say.

Ok yeah that will be great if you can please. Our appointment is scheduled at end of March.

Hmm what was part of the infinity inclusions if you don't mind?

Lots of things...! Downstairs ceiling height, granite countertops, taps and showers, kitchen appliances (size and brand) and loads more...I would have to look back to all the paperwork, we were offered infinity inclusions for another $2000 at the time of contract and it was a bargain.
Tiles were not part of this though and we will have the standard builders options that all Burbank customers have. We chose as an upgrade to have floor to ceiling tiling in all bathrooms and all downstairs flooring to be tiled. We will carpet the bedrooms and stairs after handover.

Love your plan, especially the master bedroom layout

Following along, I hope the sun comes out

Ohhh I see. So it's almost like a upgrade pack? That really is a bargain then at 2k for all those items plus more!
The only promotion going for us at the time was 'seize the dream'. They also had various Kitchen, Bathroom, interior/exterior upgrade packs too but ended up cheaper to upgrade each individual item at colour selection.

How has your SS been? Must be exciting framing is just around the corner!

Yes it was an upgrade pack we also got aircon included but I think everyone gets that. We have paid extra for floor coverings and driveway would have been good to get those included and I think we have paid more than we needed for them but will be good to get them done at the same time. I will list the inclusions in the infinity pack later and what extras we have upgraded.
Our SS (second one) has been ok so far although did not give us a weekly update last week I guess there has been so much rain he assumed we would know there wouldn't be anything to report!
