Have been happy with our site Supervisor and things aren't moving too badly (of course we all want things done yesterday ) However, we've come across an issue with our benchtops for the laundry, ensuite and batchroom (the kitchen is Q-Stone). It says in our contract "square edged" and by that my husband and I assumed for the amount of money we are paying that this would at least be post formed square edged. How wrong we were!! Already installed are ugly cheap and nasty looking benchtops with that strip of laminate on the front. I guess I'm just asking if anybody else has had any issue such as this and if so, we're you able to get the builder to change it? I guess I should have been more dilligent and asked them to specify exactly what this "square edged" means but we assumed since we are paying so much for a house that this would be standard. We have a friend who works for a cheap builder and even there standard spec is the square postformed edges. Any advice would be greatly appreciated Re: Perceptions "The 2-Storey Builder" - Benchtop issues 2Feb 08, 2011 1:48 am Hi Bec. What you wanted was squareform bench tops. Square edge as the name implies has a 90 degree (square) corners. Unfortunately your builder has given you what you signed off on. Even if the display home had squareform tops you'll find somewhere that it would have said it was a deluxe specification or similar wording. You can have a go at talking to the builder but don't hold your breath.

I've heard that changing the front strip to a different colour can look pretty good. Has anybody had this or done this and got any pics they can show me?
