I have just gone through my entire end panel and there is no mention of mirrors let alone sizes.
Which section do you see it?
Ours is in "Bathroom Variations" we changed the Jack n Jill bathroom between Rooms 2&3 to a dedicated bathroom so they redesigned it to have a double bowl. Here is a snap from the tender.
None of the other bathrooms mention mirrors but I can see from the plans that the single ensuite for Bed4 has a small mirror. We have shaving cabinets for the powder and master ensuite.
For those who did change out your mirrors for shaving cabinets with wisdom, did you get a credit for it like what MandM+4 mentioned in a few post back?
We didn't get a credit as such, I think ours wee considered upgrades (vanity/mirror combo) so I assumed the price was factored into the price.
Yeah, it's been quick. I can't complain with the last few months.
Will hopefully get keys early June
Congrats
ml117, we will be getting handover at he end of this week all going well (but don't really have a contingency as we have to move out of our rental) . Wisdom have been really good at helping speed this final process up and providing options but we were expecting handover around the end of March/early April so I thought I had enough buffer in place.
Driveway is going in but it has uncovered a Telstra line so now we play the waiting game until Telstra can move or disconnect the line. We have our PCI Tomorrow!
We have ground floor frames and ?floor joists? Hoping to have most of 1st floor done this week and then bricks starting sometime next week. Does anyone know how long bricks take (41sq with a rendered facade)? Just wondering which side of Easter the brickies will finish....thinking after.
Also, do they leave the fence open the whole build or will they put shadecloth up?? We do have a contract item for shadecloth to 2 elevations on the 1st floor for neighbour privacy but not sure what is standard.
We also had the item for shadecloth. I never saw this put up and I walked pas the build every day so it will be something I will be questioning.
Ours is just for the first floor and not for the street. I guess it’s not for privacy, more to protect the neighbours from dust/debris? And used in sandy areas

Looking great!!! Good luck with PCI, so happy for you. Is Telstra line under your driveway?

We are moving the driveway from where it was (joint crossover with righthand neighbour) to a serparate driveway on the left side of the block. They found the Telstra line when preparing for this that looks like it runs across our yard to the neighbour (but it may not even be used anymore). Because it is Telstras infrastructure Wisdom can't touch it (e.g. they could easitly just dig it a bit deeper and finish the driveway) but instead need Telstra to come out and do it apparently. The joys of KDR.
Congrats to
jqcc0 and
ml117 as you near the finish line.
For those getting their handover now or soon (before Jun2019), how long did your build take in the end? Especially anyone with a Manhattan 44 size.
Thanks

Excellent news. Do you really think you will go from PCI to keys within 3-4 days. That's great if you do.

Ours is Ambassador 36 (39 with upstairs Balcony). It will be an 11 month duration and we have just received our practical completion letter which states 64 days accrued extension so that would mean it's pretty much spot on based on the 9 months contracted, I just didn't expect or plan for 64 days.

Fingers crossed. We aren't relying on a bank so I think it will be down to getting the interim occupancy - did the PCI today and was very happy with quality. Worst case we will move the furniture in and live with the inlaws I guess.

Good you are happy with the quality, house is looking great
Any recommendations for removalists?
Morning everyone,
We are just about to start the tender process for the ambassador and wondering if anyone used the classic facade and if so would you be able to share pics?
We are having the balcony at the back and therefore don’t need a balcony on the front. We are thinking to save some money and use the classic but unsure how it would look finished in person.
Thanks in advance!

I know nothing about your actual situation, but here are the thoughts I weighed up when considering the balcony.
Rear balcony was about $22k, plus tiling.
How often would I really use it?
I have views of the mountains, but my council requires balconies be enclosed on 1 side, and the other 2 to have walls 1.7m high off the floor or screened with fixed screens that point/view upwards. (and direct rain in) All to prevent overlook. Others in my estate have put on balconies, but once screened in they were not as inviting and made the bedroom look dark.
For me i will probably spend more time cleaning it than actual use.
Then there are the mozzies and flies if you want to relax out there. Sure put up fly screens but in the end all these items detract from the bright added space that is shown in the displays.
Having said all that, I'm still in love with the rear balcony and I'm still trying to talk myself out of it.
As for facades, they always seem an expensive option but it's something that you, your friends, family, neighbours and your future buyers we see first. A rear balcony off your bedroom will be for the sole use of the bedrooms occupants.

Does Ambassador 36 rear balcony cost $22K?
My balcony is off the master at the back.
Cost about $20k and I have 2 open sides which gives me a East and South view. The balcony is more than 8m from the boundary so I didn't need to have privacy screens.

Good list there Big D
It’s worth checking your local council regulations and DCP as I had a max external size balcony of 20sqm.
Ideally I wanted to have the full size (matching the alfresco below it) but regulations didn’t permit it.
