If you go into the diagram from Kitchen Culture it should have the measurements on there. Ours is 2,932mm wide by 850mm deep which is slightly wider than the standard one for Kew 28's as we have the extended kitchen.

Ours is 2692 x 1080. 01 Mar 2017 18 VIC Junior Member 06 Dec 2016 719 Melbourne Gold Member Re: Porter Davis homes 14788May 01, 2017 3:23 pm The drawings in our contract don't have sizes for the island, they are just in the KC drawings. 05 Feb 2016 773 VIC Gold Member Re: Porter Davis homes 14789May 01, 2017 4:41 pm nikilThe drawings in our contract don't have sizes for the island, they are just in the KC drawings. thats strange, ours have measurements all over our drawings for each wetroom and kitchen in our final contract. has all of your KK stuff been finalised? .2 of a mm difference to ours haha 21 Dec 2016 492 VIC Gold Member Re: Porter Davis homes 14790May 01, 2017 4:47 pm lizbf85 nikilThe drawings in our contract don't have sizes for the island, they are just in the KC drawings. thats strange, ours have measurements all over our drawings for each wetroom and kitchen in our final contract. has all of your KK stuff been finalised? .2 of a mm difference to ours haha Our drawing of the whole house doesn't have any measurements for the kitchen island either, it's only our KC drawings that have this.

They have probably changed their format, esp if two diff documents are showing two different measurements. They have probably been caught out with that!

We are at frame stage and our contract drawings say "Refer to Kitchen Culture" on those wet area pages so they don't use the contract for building the kitchen. They only use the official Kitchen Culture drawings to install it. 05 Feb 2016 773 VIC Gold Member Re: Porter Davis homes 14794May 01, 2017 4:51 pm nikilYep kitchens all finalised but it was finalised a day after the contracts were signed so maybe that's why it's not on there? not sure, i wouldn't worry it seems like its a new thing. any word on your second soil or submission to council? 06 Dec 2016 719 Melbourne Gold Member Re: Porter Davis homes 14795May 01, 2017 4:52 pm lizbf85 nikilYep kitchens all finalised but it was finalised a day after the contracts were signed so maybe that's why it's not on there? not sure, i wouldn't worry it seems like its a new thing. any word on your second soil or submission to council? Emailed the BC today to see if she got the soil test report and got an out of office message saying she is on leave and back in the office tomorrow, so no updates yet unfortunately ☹️ 06 Dec 2016 719 Melbourne Gold Member Re: Porter Davis homes 14796May 02, 2017 11:26 am I'm hoping to hear back from BC today that they have received the soil report. Does anyone know how long it will take from receiving the soil report to being ready to submit plans to council for approval? Re: Porter Davis homes 14797May 02, 2017 12:10 pm And the problems just keep on coming... I received a call from Kitchen Culture. Apparently the color that we wanted for our island bench doesn't come in the silk finish that we got the whole kitchen in. Our site started today and today they call to let me know. We went with that specific profile because that was the only profile that goes with the color we wanted and NOW they figure out it's not in the same finish.... I'm just too upset for words right now. I will not sign the new documents until they find a different solution for us. We upgraded everything in the kitchen to have it perfect and now this. 06 Dec 2016 719 Melbourne Gold Member Re: Porter Davis homes 14798May 02, 2017 12:15 pm How frustrating!! How is it only now they realised this. Surely when you had your KC appointment it should have been picked up then. Put it on them and tell them to fix it or upgrade you to something that you are happy with and they can foot the bill. Tell them at this stage you have designed things around that specific kitchen and it's their fault for not letting you know sooner. 21 Dec 2016 492 VIC Gold Member Re: Porter Davis homes 14799May 02, 2017 12:17 pm  NaamaAnd the problems just keep on coming...

How on earth have they not figured out that they don't have the right materials until now??? I hope they come to the party with some decent alternatives for you, even so it's a hassle having to go and choose new stuff and then hope that they have that in stock!
