Can I make a suggestion? Get the flooring done yourself after handover. I'm having bamboo and carpet done by the same flooring company, they're great. Simonds category 1 carpet is rubbish. Seriously, it'll last 6-7 years tops, then you'll need to replace it. I've seen that stuff start wearing after 6 months in hallways. The carpet I've chosen for LESS than Simonds was going to charge me, is in their category 8, it's a great soft nylon carpet that'll last for 20-30 years. I'm also getting a better underlay. If you get the bamboo done by Simonds they'll charge you at least 20% more. The best quality bamboo on the market shouldn't cost more than $90sq laid. Consider asking for the skirting / kick boards be left off also for a much nicer finish. If budget is important to you, get as much stuff done as you can after handover. You'll save money AND get a better quality product. No brainer. Re: our simonds build @ seaford 177Mar 07, 2013 9:37 pm OMG. I still can't get over how damn quick your house is getting built!

I think shale grey would look better but H2B want it to be a 'feature' and choose iron stone....the render and down pipe will be shale grey....thoughts??? Re: our simonds build @ seaford 179Mar 13, 2013 5:01 pm I would personally have it shale grey. The render is the feature, not the rain head.

I guess when you talk to a builder who butters up everything to look very polished, you get to start believing… 7 17516 of course there are legal avenues. You've already mentioned it. Sue them. I find it odd that lawyers wouldnt be willing to take on the case, given CCT evidence and… 1 23758 "Losers" "humanity" "off time" "your" "top notch" "love symbol" Sounds like ponzo is done using other people's toilets 36 23834 |
