I love that herringbone in your bathroom. It will look even better once the tiles are grouted and the white tile grout lines disappear pretty sure hexes in your guest bedroom are the ones we have picked too - are they the bluestone ones of the plain Matt black? Kitchen looks awesome too. Can’t wait to see it with your countertops. Did you opt for Raw Concrete? I remember we were debating about our colours at the same time! Can’t believe how quick it’s all going. Are your kids getting excited to move? It must feel very real now the finishes are going in.

Building Wisdom Aspiration 31 at Willowdale https://ourwillowdalehome.wordpress.com/ It does feel very real. I’m a bit overwhelmed with all the cleaning and sorting I’ve got to do before we move. Really happy with the build pace, we’re 23 weeks from slab. Bench tops in kitchen will be raw concrete. Regretting not getting the same in the butlers, but then there’s many upgrades I regret not getting and we had already blown our original budget big time lol. Waterfall ends aren’t going on until after flooring so it’ll be a little while til we see that done. Guest and powder have the bluestone hex features Laundry and butlers have satin white subway splashbacks with grey grout I love the herringbone. Much prefer that tiling to our ensuite but hubby chose the ensuite tiles and I had to let him pick something lol. Also nervous about the tiling layout in the ensuite as we only have one wall full height I think it may end up looking unfinished. Might have to paint the walls a similar colour to the tiles in there. Anyway I’ll reserve judgement til it’s all finished Building Monte Carlo 40- Wisdom homes Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 9484Feb 25, 2018 11:53 am MandM+4 Jenifermarie MandM+4 Got a sneak peak inside.

Also, when it came to Timpelle, did you find that they were flexible with your cabinetry design? I have a design or two for how i want my vanities to look. I'm a little particular about this and hope they flat out don't say "no". It's nothing extravagant. Just wanted something different from the standard...

Hi the site area manager of wisdom homes mentioned to me that they are reviewing construction period for large houses to be 48 weeks as he said the standard 30 weeks contract just wouldnt me possible to build within that time frame. I am building manhattan 35 square up to gyprock stage and with this size i can see they can achieve 30 week build period. Hope this helps.

Is this normal? Are they just trying to be conservative? An extra 10 weeks of rent is a hell of a lot of upgrades... I would budget for the 44 weeks if that’s what they are giving you. I’ve seen them take that long on here, and even longer with some knock down rebuilds. Our contract is for 30 weeks and we’re on our 24th week from slab (26 if you count Xmas shut down) and I’m guessing we’re a couple of months away from completion. The contract time is from slab to practical completion, and most double storeys seem to take 36 weeks from excavation to handover. Also they can claim 3 days of delays for every rain day so will use that if they go over.

Thanks Not sure about the return trip, it took some negotiating for us to get Timpelle to do it. We also had to pay to get the kickboards modified and I’ve noticed they didn’t do it for the butlers pantry ☹️ May be more hassle than it’s worth. If you go to the caesarstone website there’s a brochure you can download and it has the categories on it. Timpelle are pretty flexible with the cabinetry design I think, just costly!
