Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Mar 18, 2015 12:34 pm Hello everyone!
I'm new to this forum and a bit confused about it, but I've been following some thread and found it quite helpful actually to share and find information! Its been really great. We are going to build with Henley. Is anyone else building with Henley? Or in the Harpley Estate area in Werribee? I'm going to be a first home owner as well, so it's all a bit overwhelming at this stage and hoping to get through it well as Henley is quite a reputable builder Re: Building the Bellevue Q1 with Henley 2Mar 20, 2015 5:31 pm This is the overall plan of the house.

Rotated the island benchtop accordingly. This is what the amended kitchen will look like approximately.

If my hubby weren't so stubborn with what he likes I would have gone for something very similar LOL. Re: Building the Bellevue Q1 with Henley 5Mar 20, 2015 7:54 pm ShannaLk thank you! My hubby loves the white one but I'm a bit scared due to high maintenance issues lol but lets see how we go at colour selection! Are you building as well? Re: Building the Bellevue Q1 with Henley 6Mar 23, 2015 10:07 am HI how was your info session? Did you find the concept boards at Cosham? Interested in any of them? I didn't see those colour boards at Cosham you just posted Re: Building the Bellevue Q1 with Henley 7Mar 23, 2015 10:08 am Tasminnn This is the overall plan of the house.

The colour boards that I posted are just for inspiration only I believe. I'll have to ask next week. Re: Building the Bellevue Q1 with Henley 9Mar 24, 2015 11:20 pm I have to decide on a façade and we are so confused ... these are the 4 façade option we've chosen and we need to pick one now! Opinions? Whichever we choose we will need to render it partially.

We chose it as I didn't want to try and dress a corner window - curtain options are a bit harder with that. Also because we liked how the pillars are wider apart than the broadway, opening up the front porch a it more. its very hard to choose when there is no real life pics to see Re: Building the Bellevue Q1 with Henley 11Mar 25, 2015 11:29 am Jessicana10 exactly! I couldnt find any photos of the Milton, Lehmaan and Barkley facade online. Its hard to visualise it you know based on these sketches! I might stick with the broadway facade .. I wanted the horizontal windows as well but like you said I'm afraid that it will be outdated quickly too. And yes that side window will be hard to dress with a curtain. Im confused between the milton and broadway. Re: Building the Bellevue Q1 with Henley 12Mar 29, 2015 9:33 am We went to our info session in Cosham yesterday and sort of figured out what we wanted but still unsure. We might go with the truffle or biscotti concept for the exterior.

Did you like any of the internal color options? Building the Sahara Q3 with Henley Re: Building the Bellevue Q1 with Henley 14Apr 13, 2015 5:23 pm We have been booked in for colour and tender/contract appointment! Our admin's name is Clare and for colour we have Rhonnie, hopefully she'll be good! Our colour appointment is on the 21/4/15 and we've taken tender/contract appointment on the same day which is the 20/5/15! I hope everything works out well. We'll have to apply for the land loan and home loan separately as the land is set to title early May still. And for the loan we are going ahead with Commbank, hopefully the valuations will be good.

Re: Building the Bellevue Q1 with Henley 18May 08, 2015 1:48 pm Yd143 We are going for MILTON facade. I have the images if you want. Thanks Yd143 but we have opted for the Lehmaan facade ... How are things going for you? Which house and where are you building? Hows your experience with Henley so far? Re: Building the Bellevue Q1 with Henley 19Jun 12, 2015 3:21 pm I’ve been mia from Homeone thought I’d update what we’ve had done so far. We had our initial colour appointment on 21/4/15 but there were certain things we didn’t really like so we had a second one on the 7/5/15. We then had our tender appointment on 17/5/15 and now we are scheduled for the contract appointment on 24/6/15. Now they are waiting for the estate to be titled before they do the soil test even though we were given approval for soil tests to be completed by the developer since May :S Settlement is due to happen on 17/6/15. Anyways, fingers crossed everything goes smoothly for us Here are some of the choices we went with in our colour appointment. I’ll post pictures too. We went with the truffle colour concept board. Façade (Lehmaan): Bricks: Truffle – Austral (CAT 4) Mortar Joints – Off Whilte & Rolled (Upgrade) Aluminium windows – Jasper Downpipes: Jasper Fascia/Spouting – Monument Garage Door: Colorgrain Coaba Roof Tiles: Classic Shingle in Charcoal Timber Windows & Sliding door: Rich Chocolate Internal paint: White on White Kitchen: Overhead cabinet – White (Silk Finish) Base cabinet: Fossil Microwave tower: White (Silk Finish) Caesar Stone: Osprey Splashback: Glass window/ Scallopini on Low Iron Butler’s pantry bench: Platinum Micro Bathroom same concept as the kitchen with a fossil shadowline (charged for the shadowline) Lexi Twin Show rail with Square Rose & Hand held shower to both Ensuite & Bathroom (Upgrade) Metro Wall Faced Close coupled with Cost close seat toilet to both Ensuite and Powder Room (Upgrade) Vanity Basin: Axa 40 (upgrade) Basin Tap: Lexi Vessel Mixer Laundry: Option 11 (with broom cupboard) Flooring: Coffee Oak Manhattan Timber Laminate Ensuite/ Bathroom tiles: Wall Tiles: Milano Cocoa Floor Tiles: Milano Matt Cocoa Décor tiles: Fence Silver Travertino We went for cornerless alfresco. We had some structural changes made in the kitchen and powder room. We’ve added sliding doors to theatre and ensuite. That’s all I can think about for now Re: Building the Bellevue Q1 with Henley 20Jun 12, 2015 4:21 pm Sounds great - love your colour choices. Has the manhattan flooring changed? I think I read now that there is a slight bevel edge between the planks, is that true ? Rather than giving a totally smooth flat finish?? Hi, If you give a set of criteria as to what means 'good' to you, it'll give others prompts to respond. We considered Henley early on but there were two factors that… 1 12178 go upvc window frames ensure insulation under colorbond. not just sarking, lighter color roof also not sure if you have seen this viewtopic.php?t=5823 last couple of pages… 4 111286 |
