You may be charged $80 by a decent plumber. We have done it in one of our renovations. We will be changing it post handover but not very immediate. If you think you are going to immediately change post handover then get W arrange your desired ones as suggested as otherwise it will be a waste. We did not change any of the bath fittings however we changed kitchen tabs n sinks and it was quite easy with W and as far as I rem no extra charge apart from variation.

Shall look into it then You will find the exact same stuff at the Reece store as on the website. You need to look at other bathroom retailers and get the product codes. You can give these to your colours person for quotes. Domayne Alexandria have a fairly big range and Cass brothers is also a good one.

We did some research and choose the concrete tiles from monier and their c-loc tech had long lasting color. We would of sold the house before it fades. We didn't consider heat tho.Maybe it might reduce our basix costs as we had to upgrade to r5 insulation in the roof.. I need to look into that.

We just thought it was a better value at that price and looking at its properties vs concrete tiles...

Might be better value to upgrade the tiles I still have been asked to add R5 roof insulation for my West facing home. $2k upgrade. Supposedly the addition of a pool hindered the rating but ifso it will be ironic that ceiling insulation is the solution! I'm also looking to contact the Fryers Basix company to understand why. Need to find their number though. Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 12695Sep 26, 2018 9:11 pm Is it just me who thinks/feels like a variation 'In Lieu Of' really feels like you have just forfeited the 'included item' and you still are hit up with the 'walk in street price' of your preferred item? And how about the fee to have a 2nd colour! Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 12696Sep 26, 2018 10:12 pm GLO Is it just me who thinks/feels like a variation 'In Lieu Of' really feels like you have just forfeited the 'included item' and you still are hit up with the 'walk in street price' of your preferred item? And how about the fee to have a 2nd colour! Well we felt the same..we are charged 400 for using 2 colours for our facade. Any upgrade we make has an additional price to it but what happens to the original one that is given in standard..not sure if we would get credit or if the price for upgrade is over and above the price of standard..

It changes from time to time. Before this package they had a Tesla powerwall gen1 . This time I think they give you an option ie Wisdom Cash Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 12699Sep 27, 2018 6:51 pm Hubby sent me these pics today after a quick drive by after work.
