I believe Wisdom include the synergy but trying to work out the upgrade options and if anyone has had them installed. I think the quantum is much more flush with the floor (no edge sticking up) Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 12324Sep 06, 2018 12:29 pm Submission plans received and noticed 3 doors upstairs have not been increased in height along with the others. Is this going to incur another admin fee to fix? I've emailed my CSR along with the colours consultant but she is out of the office until the end of the month. Who do I need to ask to have this rectified?
Not sure I could have caught this at any other time, as I don't think I've seen the door schedule until now.

Your CSR would be your first point of contact and hopefully she can get it rectified asap.

And if I'm getting 2340mm doors everywhere, is it normal for the home theatre sliding door and the robe sliding doors to be 2180mm? Is it just because they are sliding and not hung that they are slightly shorter?

Thanks ASJ1981, hopefully it's not painful to fix as I was hoping things would be perfect so we can submit to council next week Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 12328Sep 06, 2018 12:56 pm becks81 ASJ1981 becks81 Submission plans received and noticed 3 doors upstairs have not been increased in height along with the others.

The theatre room door should be same height regardless how it’s hung.

Is it just because they are sliding and not hung that they are slightly shorter? You need to have specified all the door heights if you don’t want them as standard. Even if your package includes raised door heights it wouldn’t include the home theatre as you added that door on. Our downstairs robe doors actually got increased height without us specifying, so I guess we got lucky there but we certainly paid extra to have 2340 entry, CsDs, all hinged doors, the stacker doors... You won’t have to pay for another variation (we had a couple after our final set of construction plans) but they may charge you a redraw fee. W didn’t charge us for simple changes at that stage though (like changing the windows and water tank size for CDC as an example).

So should I increase all my doors to 2340mm for continuity? including the HT and robe doors? Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 12331Sep 06, 2018 1:05 pm becks81 Thanks! So should I increase all my doors to 2340mm for continuity? including the HT and robe doors? We increased everything.. But we had our colour appt yesterday and had to pay a whole lot more to get doors with a pattern. Keep that in mind, the standard is just plain.

Yes would have all your doors same height Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 12333Sep 06, 2018 1:10 pm stevezau Manhattan52 Probably bricks for me. Spent an extra $18k. I actually thought my hydraulics would be a lot more than they were for what we were doing We are worried about Hydraulics. We have a 25k provision. Our electrical came to 14k today. Sentinel about 4k. Aircon 10k. Bricks we are going with PGH Pewter so i expect that to be a bit as well. I hope not 18k tho!! We are building the majestic 35 and looked at the Austral Bronze which is similar to the Pewter. We were quoted approx $18k also!

Yep ours is worse more like 20k due to us changing the cladding to bricks. Blue Steel is about 5k cheaper.

The CSD was expensive as it’s 1040 wide and we upgraded the profile at colours also but they’re worth it.

Yes would have all your doors same height Thanks, a bit naive of me to think that they would do this or at least ask me during the door consult, why would we only want certain door increased but not others on the same level. Especially since we upgraded the height throughout the house, not just the ground floor. Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 12337Sep 06, 2018 1:34 pm becks81 Manhattan52 stevezau [quote="becks81"]Thanks!

We had to ask for everything we wanted, nothing was upsold whatsoever throughout the whole process.

We increased all doors downstairs as we have 2.74m ceilings. However, I don't think they increased my stacker doors though. Can this be changed and will I incur a fee? Have you gone for DA/CDC yet?

Our land just registered 2weeks ago so not quite there yet. But I'm pretty sure they didnt increase the stacker doors downstairs. Everything else is increased because I know we paid extra...
