Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Sahara Q1 build 20IV- Highlands 21Jan 13, 2014 12:32 pm Well the toilet we got no longer exists! So in our variations we got a different one which was worth more! So we were pretty happy about that! Yea we upgraded our sinks to the higher up bowl type sink.. We get these for way cheaper than the colours girl advised! Warning, that dont know their prices very well at all! When we went to tender everything was way cheaper than what the initially advised. But that was with our upgrades. To be honest I am not to sure what material my windows are made out of, I just now that A&L have provided them. Re: Sahara Q1 build 20IV- Highlands 22Jan 13, 2014 4:52 pm That sounds interesting, will try to add few things from cat 2 or 3 to check prices for tender. Would you mind sharing sink price? Thanks.

Are u referring to the abey nuqueen upgrade of the sink? The undermount? Re: Sahara Q1 build 20IV- Highlands 24Jan 13, 2014 10:50 pm I'm after nuqueen sink, in Cosham girl told us $1500 for upgrade. Re: Sahara Q1 build 20IV- Highlands 25Jan 13, 2014 10:57 pm mirz I'm after nuqueen sink, in Cosham girl told us $1500 for upgrade. Really ? $1500? Lol the first time I was at Cosham I thought one of the girls said $95 imagine my surprise when we had our colour appointment and Tina quoted as $795! Lols well we ended up with the upgrade but it doesn't have that extra drainage on the side for ur dishes to dry.. hubby was not impressed when we realised this!!! Sorry meant to say it came in at $738 at tender review. Re: Sahara Q1 build 20XIV 26Jan 13, 2014 11:33 pm same here, could not believe it when she said that sink is $1500 extra, lol. Re: Sahara Q1 build 20IV- Highlands 27Jan 14, 2014 10:53 am my toilet was upgraded for 700 each .. it was the nice touilet at cosham display..... hope that helps I just got hand over for my sahara q1 .... mirz stayxtrue Its possible that they changed companies since the display homes. I can advise that our timber windows are in fact supplied by A&L and we had them put in just before christmas. So they may not be too wrong on that one that's a good news, so it means your windows are made out of cedar and not meranti? we loved the way Henley has so many options in category 1, and there is hardly any need to upgrade stuff. even upgrade prices aren't too bad, except undermount sink $750, and other funky sink for $1500. did you upgrade toilet by any chance? we are thinking to upgrade to mid range one which goes all the way back to the wall. Cosham girl didn't know its upgrade price.

I have checked A&L website and they also do double glazed windows. we are getting doable glazed windows as part of promotion pack from 2013 Q4. Re: Sahara Q1 build 20XIV 31Jan 14, 2014 6:14 pm Double glazed is a good feature!! Our deal was before that came in. But our house was also 8k cheaper when we signed! We were told there was going to be a price hike so we signed the dotted line! We got a few other features such as 40mm ceaser stone to the bench and a few other features that I can't remember off the top of my head. All in all I have to say I am extremely happy with Henley!

Re: Sahara Q1 build 20XIV 34Jan 14, 2014 7:16 pm Yea we signed around August We didn't add too many features, we just upgraded a few sinks, got the regent facade fully rendered. Zoned heating, changed the living area to have double doors, turning it into a theatre room. We put a bulk head on the kitchen, removed the dishwasher as teknika is no good!! That's all I can think of for now Re: Sahara Q1 build 20XIV 35Jan 14, 2014 8:09 pm Did you upgrade dishwasher or opt for credit to get this done post handover? Re: Sahara Q1 build 20XIV 36Jan 14, 2014 8:12 pm Re: Sahara Q1 build 20XIV 37Jan 14, 2014 8:28 pm Congratz on the holes! Hopefully they'll be back tomorrow morning to di more work! Re: Sahara Q1 build 20XIV 38Jan 15, 2014 5:34 am Thanks mate, never felt this excitement before. We want a split in master bedroom, but still struggling with location for outdoor unit. Front is facade, right side is WIR, left side is ensuite, and back side is gaming area. We added outdoor power point for split unit for master, but no idea where would it go. All advises will be much appreciated. Re: Sahara Q1 build 20IV- Highlands 39Jan 15, 2014 8:47 am mirz MarySart my toilet was upgraded for 700 each .. it was the nice touilet at cosham display.....
