Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jan 26, 2014 11:19 pm Firstly hi to all and what a site... As the subject reads we are in the process of building with Greater Concept / Premiere Homes in Ashby Rise, Ashby. Slightly modified Evolution Gold, can't wait..... Managed to secure one of the last of the larger blocks which was a defaulted sale so YAY for us. 605m2 with 18m frontage by 33.5m deep. Secured the block in March and now just waiting the build. Did a fair amount of shopping before signing with a builder but loved the designs they offered and Jeff (salesman) was great and never pushy at any stage along the way unlike the others we had been to see. I have worked sales so know they have quota's etc but there is a way of doing things without being too intrusive and misleading.

Let's see if this works. I use an app on my iphone/iPad tapatalk to talk and add phones so haven't used photobucket for a while See how my photo comes up straight away. When you select the photo in photo bucket you need to press copy then you need to press direct and then in your reply paste link Design by Greater Concept - modified version Evolution Court Build by Premiere Homes My build viewtopic.php?f=31&t=64854 Re: Building with Greater Concept / Premiere Homes 7Jan 30, 2014 11:09 pm Conslabulations to you !!!!

I take photos on the iphone and can just click add photo and select photo straight from the iphone. There is free version available.

We are the last ones building on the larger blocks on Fomiatti, can't miss it.. hahaha Went for a walk on the slab and around the yard or more to work out how much yard we will have... Looks to be we may have enough room for a pool and the dog to run around too.. Oh and yes the dog got to have a look around the new yard too.. Now just waiting for bricks..... Building in Ashby Evolution Gold - Designed Greater Concept, Build by Premiere Homes Our Build viewtopic.php?f=31&t=69248 Re: Building with Greater Concept / Premiere Homes 13Feb 07, 2014 11:01 pm Well final bits of plumbing cut and plugged and plumbing pipes run through block. They have moved the window frames and door frames around the slab too now.. We are now thinking of installing cavity slider doors to scullery and have confirmed we will be getting a couple of feature walls in polished look. It is like what the Perth crew did on block sky high. Should go well with the polished concrete floors.

They still need to finish putting the edging around the door (it had to be removed to put the stone benchtop in first) and paint the wall/frame and doors We saw the cavity sliders in the dale Alcock display in Corimbia and fell in love with them.

Still not sure if glass or just the solid doors as we don't have the door on the other side so won't have all that light. Added bonus once the doors are closed won't be able to see the dishes...
