Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jan 05, 2012 7:09 pm Hi Guys, I'm from Canberra and am new to this forum so please do bare with me if these questions are silly or have already been posted before =) I'm building a new house and the builder (a close friend) has stated that he will provide me with the product names and cost of materials (Taps, tiles, ovens, door handles, shower screens, lighting etc.) that he will use in the build and allow me to look for a cheaper price for the same product and then use the products i found at the cheaper price in the build. Basically the point of this thread is to share with everyone and myself the details (links, company names, etc.) and reasons why the certain supplier of the certain product is a recommended e.g. great price for same products, great service, reliabilty, delivery options etc. The below is a list of materials/products that would be great to share your suppliers and reasons for using them, please do feel free to add more if i have missed something (i'm sure there will be plenty!). Simply copy and paste the below list with or without your added material/products then add the details and reasons next to it: Roofing - Exterior Doors - Interior Doors - Windows - Curtains/Blinds - Bricks - Electricals (down lights, switches, power points, tastics etc.) - Drywalls - Plumbing - Hand rails - Tiles - Aircon/heating units - Insulation - Paint - Taps and fittings - Kitchen appliances (e.g. oven and cooktops) - Carpets - Pavers - Bathroom fittings (showers, vanities etc) - And anything else! =) Thanks guys and any input will be great! I hope this will eventually helps us all in saving money in our new builds!
