Coral Homes general build thread

Cos coral admin is useless! Initial tender July 2015, we signed the contracts in October 15, weren't submitted to council till December 15 and our start date was 12th May and we still arnt finished.. tomorrow is our end of contract date

Oh god knows!!! Have you returned your beaumont tiles paperwork yet? They told me if it specifically said grout lines must line up then they would do it.. of course i didnt know to specify this - thought it was common sense!

If not hopefully your ss is reasonable and lets you discuss with the tiler prior to laying.

The joy of cheap labour... you get what you pay for.. Pity thats not what i paid for!!!

That's good to know I will definitely check in that! Thank you.
I agree with what another poster has said, once the grout is finished it may not be as obvious. It just may be that little something that gives your home a touch of character. I understand you would be rather annoyed though... as you deserve to be. I guess u have all this to look out for! (Praise this forum for the heads up on all the possibilities that good go wrong)

Yes true i am thinking i should go out and inspect tomorrow as all the grouting will be finished.. im at the point now where as long as they fix the powderoom and laundry ill live with the bathroom.. To do the bathroom would mean gutting the room and starting again eekkk!

This forum is such a huge help!!! Hubby used to rip me off about it now as soon as we notice something unusual he says 'what do your forum friends say' lol

Yes hes a douche.. but someone else on here has the same ss as me and hasnt had any issues and started after us and will be in before us!! WT! Maybe he just doesnt like me lol

But as a positive.. I do absolutely love the house and cant wait to live there

That's all that matters Ryalls! It's yours and it's going to be amazing regardless

SPLASHBACKS!!

What does everyone have/ advise? I was hoping to go with the marble style tiled below but unsure if budget will agree on that! Tile appointment this afternoon so getting nervous!

I loooove those splashbacks.. if its too expensive you can do it after handover. Thats what we are doing

Sorry I can't help you with costs you will have to let me know though how you go? I love the marble look too esp herringbone or hexagon as splash back but not sure our budget agrees

We have a start date! December 12th! How long does the process take from cutting the block to slab pour?

That is awesome. It depends on weather but I think it was about 10-14 days for us. Hopefully you will be slabbed before Chrissie. I would imagine that would be their aim.

I have no idea if costs. But I absolutely love these tiles. We are having glass with we paid about $1500 extra for, now wishing we had something like this.

We have the large marble hex for splash back it was $1400

Thats awesome, bet you're excited! I am super jealous lets hope you have a chrissy slab.

Tiles done!

My decision was between glass or this but I've always loved this style so we did go for it! Splashback we went the herringbone marble and that cost just under $1200

Beautiful choices. How much extra was it?

We did it! Wooo... herringbone for splash back and small hexagon for niches.
Ended out about $1600 for all 3 areas.
