Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Building Monterey Nouveau Q1 MK2 in Taylors Hill 21Apr 25, 2014 5:31 am Found out today that the neighboring builder has put in temporary fence slightly into my boundary (300mm). Is this normal? I will not be building until July and they will remove the temp fence by then. But want to make sure if this need to be raised with the builder. Taylors Hill, The place to be! Re: Building Monterey Nouveau Q1 MK2 in Taylors Hill 23Oct 08, 2015 11:17 am vikramgiridhar Dear All, We have finally decided to go with Henley and decided on our Home- Monterey Nouveau Q1 MK2. We have signed the sales quote and paid our second deposit $650. We have arranged for Colour Appointment on April 7, 2014 and Tender Appointment in May. Thought I will create this blog to share our experiences and gain from yours. The block we have is 648 SqM- (18 X 36) So far we have decide on following aspects in our Home: Facade- Broadway (Do not want to spend a fortune on facade as we needed money for interiors and other structural modifications) Ceiling height- 2750 Eaves all around the house. Brick- Chestnut (Did not upgrade the brick as we decide to go for full front render) Colourbond roof- Deep Ocean/ Iron Stone (Still in two minds)- Any Advice here please Front entry door- INF5VG- Width:920/1020; Height- 2340 (We need to decide based on pricing at colour appointment) Extending Garage width by 1 metre (Max we can increase)- Paid a permium for this- was charged $4180!!! Adding additional Whirly bird to roof. Tossing among the following to add one option- Sarking Vs Double Glazing to windows Vs Zoning to ducted heating Vs Adding Skylight to Kitchen area- Any advise here please!! Driveway- (Doing it ourselves) Fencing- Doing it ourselves Curtains and blinds (Doing it ourselves) Front/Back landscaping (Doing it ourselves) Interiors- Caesar stone- Kitchen- Ginger/ Walnut Bathrooms- Wild Rice/ Latte Flooring- Atlas Oak 190mm (Doing it ourselves through Timber flooring King) Carpet- yet to decide (Doing it ourselves)Tiles to wet areas- Yet to decide! Not many options in Henley- Very disappointed at their range. Over head Kitchen cabinetry- Crystal Gloss (Dont know the colour but thinking of going with their chocolate brownish range). Kickboards and underbench cupboards- Domain Nuance. Pot drawers instead of portrait doors to Kitchen underbench cupboards. Downlights (Doing it ourselves- Need to speak to electrical companies for this) Hi Vikramgiridhar, Since this is a old thread, I was going through the upgrades you have opted for and wanted to check if you have gone ahead with Atlas Oak from Timber Flooring King and if you have any feedback.
