Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Feb 26, 2009 3:58 pm Hi,
Awaiting DA approval for our new house. We need to find own kitchen and bathroom company to install 1 kitchen and 4 bathrooms - the builder of the actual house supervises and coordinates the electrical and plumbing at the end of fit-out. Just wondering whether it is likely to be cheaper to go with the one company for the kitchen and bathrooms (hoping to get discount if it is lumped into one project) or is it better to go with 1 kitchen and another bathroom company? We have some idea on how we like the layout of these rooms so don't really want to pay an arm and a leg for the actual design process. We are in Sydney. Thanks. Re: Advice re new house 2Feb 26, 2009 6:02 pm I don't think there is a difference, surely most kitchen makers will do all wetrooms, and plumbing suppliers (like Reece) will only supply goods anyway, you still need a kitchen company to co=ordinate the whole thing. But def cheaper to use one company, have you got any quotes?

But def cheaper to use one company, have you got any quotes? Annie No have not got any quotes yet as most companies are reluctant to discuss plans unless DA is approved. Most of the kitchen makers I look at say they only specialise in kitchens. Versaloc is a mortarless besser block system that still needs a properly engineered footing. If you just do a 400x200 footing it will fail in time. At 17m long you need it… 1 15598 I posted the floorplan on Houzz.com forum and got some really good ideas and advice from people there. Then we reached out to a couple of renovation companies and one… 5 10083 Can anyone recommend a good/affordable retaining wall and fence builder that I can get a quote from located in Sydney? 8 45705 |
