Is the ceramic version a lot cheaper? I think I am only going to go for 600X600 tiles. not even sure how much that will cost extra to sapphire... Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 14165Apr 18, 2016 11:36 pm 600 by 600 ones we liked were 14-16K but we were looking at light coloured, porcelain, rectified tiles only. I'm sure there were more options but we knew what we wanted and once again it was 'as per the display'!!!! $$$ Building the Fairmont 38 with upgrades @ Castle Hill NSW Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 14167Apr 19, 2016 8:55 am Hello guy's, just want to ask how would you assess Adam M. as Site manager because they will start delivering the frames today that's according to our CSC. Is he always on the ball? or just one of those who appears on the site and doesn't do the extra mile for their customers. The reason for asking is so i know how to deal with the guy. Thanks.

We have him and think he is fantastic.. We haven't had the best run with Clarendon but AM is definitely an asset to the company and a saviour for us at this stage of our build. He is very honest and if he says something will happen at the house it most definitely does.. His communication with us has been brilliant. We are very fortunate to have him!! Where are you building?

Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 14171Apr 19, 2016 11:10 am Lovely! He has a few houses there I think. We are hopeful for handover soon but there's no way they are getting our final payment until we are happy with everything. We've picked out a number of things that still need fixing so this will need all to be done before we get in. We are well over our contact time (no fault of AM) so a little longer we can put up with!! Building the Fairmont 38 with upgrades @ Castle Hill NSW Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 14172Apr 19, 2016 12:20 pm Hello Guys. I have been following this thread now since October 2015 and just want to say thank you for all your experiences and stories. One example is asking for the timber beams in the alfresco to be boxed in prior to final plans and garage door heights. lol. I have learned a lot from all of you. We signed contract in November for a KDR and original start date was February 4. Due to council we knocked it back to March as Democorp couldn't rebook us in any earlier. Demolition started on 19/03/2016 and a month later slab is ready and the boys are out there finishing off the sewer and storm water lines, scaffolding has been delivered and our hybrid frames are arriving next week. Really happy with the service and the progress from Clarendon. Thanks again guys and all the best building your dream homes.

Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 14175Apr 19, 2016 4:23 pm Spart We finally got frames finished on Friday and to my complete shock didn't get the bill! !!! It didn't come till today! !! Accounting is letting itself down! !! Geez they're letting themselves slip! Our cricks were finished around lunchtime Friday and we had an invoice at 1pm lol. Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 14176Apr 19, 2016 5:24 pm KandRCH kimisstressed Quietly confident that we will be in by the end of next week That's fantastic news Kimisstressed. How's it all looking? Have you had your walk through? We still haven't had our PCI and no actual handover dates... Our roller coaster ride continues..... No we haven't... Apparently we are doing our walk through and handover all in one go! I'm hopeful that all our little bits and pieces will be fixed by then. Not much to go!
