During kitchen consult, we were told this is not possible, and the item was deleted and requoted. I was not fully convinced, and still not convinced with how it will look like as the description provided on quote was quite ambiguous. I ended up accepting it as that time hoping it turns out ok. Singalg, my kitchen layout is the same as in the Oran Park display. Maybe it could be because I am building the same size house whereas your's is smaller? (40 versus 35 squares) Also if its any consolation our contract term is 44 weeks. If they use this as an excuse to drag their feet on the build process I will be furious.

We are at week 34 from excavation (minus Christmas shutdown and any rain delays) We are waaaay behind our 36 week contract. Our SS is saying mid October for PCI! I’m waiting on a call back from W customer service to confirm this. Why have contracts if they aren’t met? Why is the construction process running similar to the admin debacle? Timewise aside, are you happy with how its shaping up? We had a ground floor viewing this week, it’s looking amazing! I’m not a builder but I see quality workmanship. The render is magnificent!! Our SS is fab! He’s picked up on several things that are a result of errors in drafting and made a few other suggestions for finishes around the inaccessible balcony on the first floor. I can’t fault him. I am still disappointed in Admin, they continue to avoid my emails (I won’t publicly name any specific person or department but I wonder how they can still have a job!

How are your lintel issues Oz? The variations in everyone’s build times my view is based on the SS. We are on our 2nd SS and there is a country mile between the two. We are blessed to have changed as the first SS left WH. I feel the delays in our build was due to him. I have highlighted on this forum previously and to head of construction at WH that the level of support that SS receive needs to be reviewed. At the end of the day our experience and view of WH is based on quality of build and that rests with the SS.

On a side note, I think that if thats the duration in the contract, atleast you know at the time of signing that that's how long it may be, in the worst case (I truly hope it finishes much faster though). yeah, my price may be different due to a smaller size.
