Re: Colour Selection - how does it work? 7Jul 27, 2009 9:09 am spunkylayla We have a "fair" idea of what we want, but unfortunately I don't think we've gone to as many display homes as other would have. We have 2 young children and taking with them can be soooo daunting. Oooh - I can so identify with you there. Just hard work! I wish I'd found this site before colour selections because I had no idea what to expect. We're building with a different builder, but the more prepared you can be the better. We weren't able to do a tour of the colour selection place because they were booked out, and we tried to look at brick & tile places but it wasn't as helpful as I thought it would be. Because we were working to a tight budget it was hard to make big decisions when we didn't know how much upgrades might cost. So we went to the appointment with only a vague idea of what we were after. It worked out okay, but I'm sure the colour consultant was a bit frustrated at times. So whatever prep you can do beforehand will come in handy! And yeah, Stormy's suggestion about the checking out bricks on a real house is so important!! Our first brick choice looked so different from what we expected! I'm pretty sure the bulkhead would be considered a structural change, well it would be with our builder. Any chance you can have a chat to the SC about that before Wednesday? Good luck with it all!! Daunting but fun! We've got our tile selection appointment on Wednesday so I'll be in the same boat as you. We're home!!!
