Hubby met him this morning. It will take him 2 weeks, starting today with the floor leveling. Gotta pay him a little cash extra as we want the square tile floor wastes downstairs also . All good, I like the look of those and want the same thru out the house... So with that- do you just ask them to do it - did you purchase the square one on your own? How does that go down with the site supervisor? I wasn't given any option to swoitch to a better grate. If you do just buy it, and ask tghem to fit it, what happens to the std circle one? do you get to keep it? Re: Kitchen is in!

If you do just buy it, and ask tghem to fit it, what happens to the std circle one? do you get to keep it? As we are building with a small builder we deal with him direct. He has been fantastic to us, we were able to buy a whole lot of bahroom fitting, toilets, fans, lights etc, and he will deduct whatever we purchased from whatever he allowed for the items... I understand that not all builders do this though, so we are lucky. Re: Kitchen is in! Building at Coomera Waters QLd 50Oct 28, 2011 7:48 am Rjg, to go further into your question, i thought if you wanted an upgrade and I guess going from a standard round floor waste to a smart tile floor waste is an upgade as they are more expensive, a builder should allow you to request them to put them in. Now they might supply them and they would charge you the extra. I never built before, but the saying goes something like "you can have it, but it's gonna cost you extra" if it's not in the contract, I believe. Re: Kitchen is in! Building at Coomera Waters QLd 51Oct 29, 2011 7:21 am tan39 - thought you were building with Clarendon for some reason! That's cool - was just checking! I am sure that you cna change anything, but it's a cost impact. For Cl, I think they just don't offer the option. Next time might do an owner builder. Re: Kitchen is in!
