Building with Wisdom Homes

Can't wait to see pics gfernz

We added an extra set of pot drawers, upgraded the stone and added waterfall ends, added a microwave provision, added a fly over panel and panel behind rangehood, added a cupboard to fill in part of our fridge space, put a bench, sink, double cupboard and bar fridge space to butlers pantry, and fitted out our laundry. We also paid a small fortune to have our kickboards modified and a return trip so they could be put on after the flooring, as well as a return trip for the stone mason to fit the waterfall ends. This was to avoid a scotia trim all around our kitchen as we're having a floating floor. We spent $17k.
I'm regretting not upgrading our wood look cabinets to riven finish, I hope they turn out ok.
Timpelle were excellent and the basic inclusions are good.

We upgraded our stone to Raven, add the waterfall edges, changed the colour of the underside of upper cabinets to match, added downlights under the cabinets, added laminate doors to the pantry, plus laundry cabinetry upgrades, and built ins in our leisure and home theatre and amended the standard cabinetry in our main bathroom.

We are on the prestige package so had quite a lot as standard but As rocchet said - it adds up quickly!!!

Thanks. I'm reviewing which package suits us this morning.

What depth fridge cavity do the y include? I'm looking at Manhattan44. Not sure if smaller homes have less depth?

We're building the Aspiration 31 so smaller house - the standard fridge depth was 650mm, we increased it to 700mm (it cost us $25, quite possibly the cheapest modification we made!).

We extended our fridge and washing machine area and was not charge. weird.

Also the wife wanted the kitchen as is in the Manhattan 39 at Oran Park, that cost us 18k. We also changed the oven so that cost a little more.

Hi Jordann,

So we had the appointment yesterday with better view blinds. A bit annoyed as no one is working on site. What a waste of time.

So for supa screen, we were quoted 4500+ for a stacker door measuring 2270 high x2086, front door of 1020x2340,
And a laundry door of 820x2340. He has samples with him and happy with it.

We also requested for them to do the same for window openings. It is a must as the windows can be taken off easily. He showed us how and anyone can do it. For the large window openings, it is 800 per window. This is the standard window of wisdom.

They're roller blinds are also reasonably price. 5 large windows for only 1500 but still deciding on this as i don't like roller blinds but if we ran out of option due to budget, we might just go for it.

Hope it helps.

Your not alone. Our slab has the same pencilled lines as guides. We did measure it to make sure it is correct. All good until the gyprock was installed and found major issue and we almost had a funny looking pantry door. When i complained it is not acceptable, they have rectified it. Seems i will have a square set flush panel pantry door due to their mistakes. Can't complain 🤣🤣🤣

The single storeys go up so fast! Don't let it dishearten you!!! Haha even my SS said they are a breeze!

Ours is 700 as standard I guess as I never changed it? I'd say it depends on your kitchen layout and size of the room

I'm building majestic 35 standard fridge depth was 700mm but because we are adding laminate wall panels it was bumped out to 740mm

What was the issue with gyprock? Just curious so I can check if anything similar were to happen to us. Was it due to incorrect gyprocking or problem with framing?
Great that you got it sorted

Out nib walls was meant to be just 90mm where the fridge is but after gyprock it became 120mm so 60mm additional. When the cabinetry was installed, they have to remove the architrave on one side of the pantry door.

Hi Johann,

Do you mean Manhattan 44 (new Oran Park, old Oran park display was Manhattan 43) or Manhattan 39 (Leppington)

Are you getting the below stair storage? (Like Leppington)

Thanks Addie.

Did they happen to give you a breakdown for each?

We have 2 x stackers and 2 x sliding doors which we're thinking about getting it for.

This won't be cheap..

Oh yes sorry I meant the Manhattan 39 at Willowdale..

Yes we're getting the stairs and cabinetry as displayed but not in that stain. For the stairs we extended the rails down to the bottom.

No breakdown unfortunately. If it will make it easier for you, i've asked a friend who had the same supascreen from another provider. They built with eden brae not wisdom and got screen somewhere else. It's almost the same price with better view blinds.

Thanks Addie.

Will get Betterview to quote the Supascreen as well and see how we go.

Whatnot these things look like?



Separately, has anyone done double glazed glass?

My large rear glass would get full afternoon sun, and I'm unsure of the cost.

Wisdom directly quoted us in the tender;

Provide sliding aluminium framed lnvisi-gard doors to Dining rear aluminium stacker door (SSD2336) $2,100
Provide sliding aluminium framed lnvisi-gard door to Laundry aluminium sliding door (SXD2115) $1,200


We didn't get quoted for the front entry door, but in hindsight we will probably install a screen to allow airflow through. A local supplier has quoted us for a Clearshield 1200mm Screen Door $1,071
