Colour appointment next month so then I won’t be able to change my mind, much to the joy of my other half. It drives him to distraction.

We've been waiting a while for the contacts to be done. We paid our deposit in March and have been told that the contacts won't be ready until July. So all up, it will be about 15 weeks. Have you been waiting long? I feel like it's too long to be waiting, I don't know. We'll still have to get developer and council approval once they're ready.
Anyway, your colours sound great. It's very exciting to build a new home (frustrating too), but it'll be worth it in the end. Good luck with it all, and look forward to reading your updates.
I'll probably start my own thread once the ball really starts to roll. At the moment it's just a waiting game - a very un-fun game... all talk no action!
congratulations not long to go now and it will all be started, will be keeping my eye on your posts for pics and all your colours sound great, I hated picking the colours as I kept changing my mind and DH kept saying no they are great im still not totally convinced but if i change my mind then ill be all in a tizzy over it heheh
good luck with everything

Great sounding colours, I love the Esplanade Facade it is gorgeous. I love the one at Wyndham Vale with that Facade and was tempted to do it for our house bit it pushed us over budget. I really look forward to following your build!

I love your house plan too
I love your house plan too
Thank you. Yes we are happy with the house plan. Took lots of visits to displays and online builders pages to find one that suited our ideas. Changed our minds so often on plans.

Congratulations kaytee on your settlement wont take long now
Thanks Sooty, We wont be building till probably Sept but I suppose that isn't too far off. So most likely not in till after New Year. Will sell our present house just before we move as last time we sold too early and had to move into temp accomodation for about 10 weeks. Very expensive, very stressful and the biggest pain out.

I had a typical womens reaction today and rushed down to the tile place to change our tile colours. I was doing black and off-white in both bathrooms and now the bathroom will be black & white and the en-suite will be choc floor and taupe/ivory colours. At least I am happy with them now.
After tomorrow I wont be changing anymore colours. Let the doubts on colours go away now.
Kay
Ohh have fun tomorrow Kaytee, hope everything goes really well!
Thankyou. Looking forward to locking it all in.
have fun tomorrow it is one of the best parts choosing the colours and the girls are really helpfull too have a great time

Your colours look great Kay! You have done a very good job picking them. Is the red in the kitchen going to be your splashback??
Thankyou and yes the red is the splashback. It was going to be blueish/greenish/redish and any other colour you can think of. It was almost a meenie miney mo choice. The black CS is on the back bench and white cs on the island bar. White cupboards above and below and the madagascar on the oven tower.

Nice colour choices I especially like the ensuite colours
Thanks Rowena.
Originally it was going to be plain black & white. No feature tiles in either bathrooms. I had a sleepless night the day before colours and was lucky enough to go back to Hynes Tiles and change a few things. Much happier with my choices now. No more changes now.

Need advice on the backyard plan above. Should I excavate and cut all of the dirt to level with the house slab or semi-excavate as per photo above? Both left and right…

Thanks very much! And would the landscaper/contractor generally involve the engineer or is that something the client would do? Thanks for your help
