Or know approx. pricing?

I have been on Pinterest and it looks so much better a little thicker (especially because we are not doing waterfall edges) We upgraded to 40mm and it was around $800 for a 2.5m bench that is wider than standard.

Were currently waiting for council approval and have completed our tile selection. We had our heart set on wood grain tiles which we selected (heartwood walnut) We have been told that they will only lay this a square stack and not a staggered lay!!! has anyone else come across this?? Anything we should look out for come colour selection time. Wanting to stay within the designer range!!

The house sat empty for almost 3 weeks as it was empty for a week before tiler arrived and has now been empty for another 2 weeks. To be honest I think the tiler had his cranky pants on as he had a dig about our ss and complained because our cabinetry had not even started. We went past last friday and happened to see the cabinetry guy on site it was late in the arvo and he had not long got there. He told us he got a call and said it was urgent so he was back on site Saturday and finished it on monday. SS said we would have bench tops on and tiles completed this week.

Re: Coral Homes general build thread 8919Jun 29, 2017 9:27 am Hey all, We got the email yesterday that our land is now in council!! Any idea how long this process generally takes from the developer lodging the land with council to get to registration.

I have saved photos as a reference and will take up with tiler when the time come I guess?!?! You should check your detail drawings, it may show downpipe within brick pier. 14 14124 Ask the council if there is a chance of getting build over easement exemption. Sometimes easements are unused and 24cm is not all that much. Good luck. And yes any builder… 2 13781 In Qld it is a requirement that a builder must have a cost breakdown, for building a home to the same specification, with the same inclusions and the same finish.
