Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 13002Feb 04, 2016 3:36 pm We are doing our walkthrough tomorrow. I've been sceptical of a few decision made along the way that I'll definately be bringing up. There is one thing that I just found out about that I wanted everyone's opinion on. We were meant to have the little filtered water tap on our sink. Went through with the SS last week and it wasn't there and I raised it. My understanding was a new sink with the provision for the tap was being ordered. Oh course the the SS told me it was installed today by punching a hole through the existing sink with a drill and installing the tap. Can someone confirm whether their sink had a prefab hole for the tap or not? From my understanding drilling the sink can cause the chrome on the sink to crack and fleck away. It also exposes the inside of the steel to corrosion. Thoughts anyone? Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 13003Feb 04, 2016 3:39 pm firsttimer05 We are doing our walkthrough tomorrow.

I have the filtered water but mine just comes through my tap when you turn on the Coldwater it's not a separate little tap like it used to be just make sure that you're not getting the same thing because then you shouldn't have any extra holes and it'll just come through your normal tap hole Building the Clarendon Merriden 30 (44 after Mods) @ Harrington Grove!

Found out my building CSC has the initials JS.. this is in sydney, anyone have him/her and are they good??? Building a Modified Madison 37. Woohoo! Congrats Well today we managed to get our concrete piering AND a site fence! In our contract we were charged extra for site fencing because of our large block and being a battle axe. They have literally only needed to use about 12m of fencing because of all the other fencing that is up. Will be interesting to see how much credit we get! Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 13008Feb 04, 2016 5:59 pm Lizzy083 For those asking Auz-Crete Concreting did my driveway! Tell them Lisa from Harrington park sent you!

Of course in the contract it's all just lumped under additional site costs so you have no idea what the actual amount is!

Although I will say I was happy today when I received our Final, yep FINAL invoice from them! Sorry, not trying to rub it in, just so bloody excited to finally almost be done and move out of my parents house... Anyways, back to what I was saying.. haha! We had $8,000 worth of provisional monies in our contract for rock excavation and additional sewerage lines and stuff, so I was expecting them to "use" most of it, but in our final invoice, they've only used $543, so we got $7,457 credited back to us! I was cheering!

Where are you building? Hi Kandrch, we are building in Castle Hill. Where are you building. I did not realize that rendering was include in the facade cost (we are going with Prescot, same as the display home). Are you also getting the sandstone feature wall in the hall? How far in are you with your build? Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 13016Feb 04, 2016 9:12 pm KLB elisen Oh yeah, they're good like that!

I will just live vicariously through you Oh I'm so happy to be almost done with the whole process! Although I honestly think it wouldn't have been bad if we weren't living with my folks.... I haven't lived at home since I was 19, then come home with husband and 3 kids... Plus my OLDER brother still lives with our parents, so it has been a tight squeeze.... And we've already done the shopping spree! haha!! We've been doing it throughout the build so it wasn't as big of an "ouch" at the end... We had one huge storage unit at kennards with all our stuff in it, then we went and got another smaller one for $100 a month and slowly bought dining table and chairs, coffee table, side tables, etc. and our new leather lounges will be delivered to the house in March some time... YAY to moving out of home for the second time! haha!

MadAboutMadison we are also in Castle Hill (Knightsbridge) where abouts are you? We are almost at the end. Up to tiling now. We should be done by Easter or soon after. We have the best SS. You will probably get him as well..he is awesome!! We are building the fairmont (very similar to the display) with no internal stone. We have a pool which will have the same stone on the water feature like the front. Have you submitted to council yet?
