Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Who is building with Beechwood 6002Apr 09, 2014 1:25 pm Hi Everyone Our land is settled!yay! we now own a piece of dirt (well a puddle of mud with the recent rain!) So we have received our 2nd drawn plans and they are perfect. No changes to be made. Now just to get the 149/2 and landscape plan and hopefully lodge with The Hermitage for approval and then to CDC. Does anyone else have fibre to the home or NBN? Our estate is Opticomm and i can't quite get my head around what is needed vs what BW provides in their tender. It states Optic Fibre wiring (plus a generous 2 tv points, 2 phone points and 2 data points - $1766) - but does not mention a hub or wiring cabinet etc. Can someone shed some light? Re: Who is building with Beechwood 6003Apr 09, 2014 1:26 pm Hi justwondering1, we chose a standard colour. Our bench top stone was part of a package. We were going to add a leg to one end of the island so there would be two, however it was $550 ish, which is ok but I decided that I can live without it! I guess you just have to know your budget and decide what's important.

What colour cupboards are you having? Sounds like a similar colour scheme to what we are having.

We changed to a black splash because our fridge is black glass too.

You must have picked the black? There is not much of a choice, is there? I was hoping to get an idea on how much extra was it to get another color as we didn't realize that there were so few colors to choose from. If I had known, we would have asked for this to be included in the tender. We like the Caeserstone "mink" color. Has anyone else had an upgrade in colour that could help out? Re: Who is building with Beechwood 6008Apr 09, 2014 4:57 pm Dancemum, I would say that the price you got quoted would be for the cabinet and running of all the cables. We got a quote of $1212.00 from another builder and we're told that includes the Hills cabinet and all of the cabling to our nominated areas/points. In saying this, it's best to give them a quick call and confirm this.

I have nbn network, but I dont have any idea if I need any extra electrical stuff. Ive upgraded my allowance to 6 tv points (just in case) & just 1 phone and 1 data cable for the media room. I have no idea on electrical stuff. Re: Who is building with Beechwood 6011Apr 10, 2014 9:41 am justwondering1 Hi bek and daniel2ya, When upgrading colours or profile sizes in benchtops, is it costly?
