Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Apr 09, 2008 2:22 pm Hi all,
We have just been booked in for colours and were wondering if anyone can assist on where to get inspiration from. Does anyone know what colours are displayed on the buckingham at tarneit for NBG? We like most of the colours there and would like to know what bricks are displayed there, but none of the staff seem to know. Any help would be appreciated. Re: Colours 2Apr 09, 2008 3:01 pm They should be able to tell you what the colours are when you get to your colour appointment. At least PD have lists of colours on all their displays when you get to colours, so i just assume that most other builders would have he same.

http://www.porterdavis.com.au/#styles great site for looking at colours. Paula Re: Colours 5Apr 09, 2008 9:31 pm Hi Mel & Em, the folks at NBG HQ will be able to tell you the colour selection/bricks etc used at the display home at tarneit.
Did you have a look at the buckingham 46 at point cook? Re: Colours 7Apr 17, 2008 8:45 pm pretty standard throughout the 46 sqaures actually...we were surprised to ntoe that each room (apart from the feature walls) were the same colour. architraves, cornice & skirting matched the ceiling (which is white)...the colour of the wall was almost a mocha white...very nice actually but i guess it blended it nice cause the entrie colouring of the house matched...the colour of the facade is horrendous though Re: Colours 10Apr 18, 2008 11:22 pm Thanks Vanderlay. Interesting houses on NBGs website, seem good value for money. I don't think we looked at any of their houses when we were going through all the display homes, but then there were so many that I have probably forgotten... Re: Colours 11Apr 20, 2008 9:17 pm Hey M&M,
Your house is coming along nicely. When did you guys start building? Re: Colours 12Apr 21, 2008 12:10 pm Hi, Site start date was 14.2.08. Should be lock up by the end of this week Re: Colours 13Apr 27, 2008 8:02 pm Hi guys
We chose the colours on 22/4/08. Took a while but we got there. Spent an xtra 4k, but it was all things that we wanted like better tapware, cupboard handles, rangehood, bricks etc. The bricks we chose were the mocha from Boral with dark grey and light grey roof, garage, portico, window frames, gutters etc. Inside, we went chocolates, mochas, and tans. Hope it all works out. From here, the builder is still getting the permits organised. He seems to think it'll take another 4-6 weeks to get started. Little annoyed with NBG as I think we were waiting for them to book us in for colours before the actual builder could proceed with the developer approval. We could have done colour selection much earlier. Anyways, we're just really eager for something to start happening on the block. Hey. Head to a metal and decide on which profile you will use first. Profiles with larger corrugations can greatly change the appearance of the color in different… 0 3382 I'd get the gutters to match your roof and pipes to match the paint - otherwise they become a feature. Nice pick with the paint colours! 1 34269 |
