They're the pergola thing we had to have for our estate guidelines as "corner treatment"... Personally think they're a stupid waste of money haha but had to have them! Re: Who is building with Beechwood 11991Apr 05, 2016 8:08 pm Haven't been on since my last post but wanted to say thanks for the comments on my driveway. Hubby and I are getting very excited... We had a meeting with BW owner, austral rep, brickie supervisor and our SS to sort out our bricks which we have come to an agreement so that is good it is one less thing to think/worry about. SS said that they are on track for us to have our walk thru next wed or thurs and if all is good (which we are expecting it will be as we have daily access to it and know what to expect) then BW will issue the invoice and once it's paid they will hand the keys over so we are expecting it to be by end of next week or beg of the next week. Re: Who is building with Beechwood 11993Apr 05, 2016 8:14 pm zoey93 Hi Guys, plans have just come out of council, and colour apt for the internal is in 2 weeks, what sorts of things did you upgrade and roughly how much are things priced at. any info would be great so I am prepared when we go for our apt thanks Hey Zoey great to hear ur plans are out of council. It's exciting getting to the colours appt. hubby and I had unexpected costs for our build which ended up eating into our savings which we would have spent at our contract appt, so we were very strict with what we wanted to upgrade and had only Upgraded things which were difficult to do later. We upgraded our toilets which was about $350-$400 each, we put draws in the vanities $120 each and changed the handles throughout the house. We didn't upgrade the kitchen cause it worked out cheaper for us to do at a later date. Re: Who is building with Beechwood 11995Apr 06, 2016 5:43 pm Gee, thats great rebuild. We signed paid deposit last Feb, contract signed in last Sept, and won't be in till July (they say). Looking at our house today, half the house is now bricked. Very happy with progress so far. Hopefully next week or two will be our electrical and air con rough ins. I did buy some beautiful glass and concrete pendant lights for over kitchen bench at Masters last fortnight when they had a 40% off sale. They sell same ones in Beacon lighting, but for a much cheaper price! Can't wait to see them in, as I think they will look great! I am thinking of getting timber/metal industrial stools for kitchen, but wondering if they were pushed or fell over, would they possibly crack the floor tiles??? They are just standard tiles, glued to slab. Re: Who is building with Beechwood 11997Apr 06, 2016 7:50 pm Woohoo rebuild that's so exciting,the count down is real now!! Well I'm thinking were 2-3weeks behind you than fingers crossed,painting starts Monday and tiling the following if all goes to plan..
