Coral Homes general build thread

Hi kandd
You should be able to get the stretcherbond/brick setout for your tiles but it may attract an extra labour fee. I think Coral has something written about "no bond setouts" somewhere from memory but argue with them and see if you can get it, I say! My tile supplier (Beaumont in qld) was quite helpful but she also knew that coral had limitations on what they'll do. She was able to price the extra labour on the day of tile selection (for things like non-standard grout, larger or differently proportioned tiles and cutting tiles in shower base). However she also said sometimes even when everything is chosen with Beaumont, if you have a non standard tile or laying outside coral's rules, Coral can sometimes come back and make you reselect if they really have an issue with the tile. So be prepared to fight or have a backup plan!

Wow this is crazy! I can't understand why they will do herringbone and not some of these other laying patterns. That said I had to go to site and show Coral's tiler how to lay herringbone

As long as it is noted in your tile selections and your variation is signed they have to do it at that point. Surely no tiler is gonna have a problem with that.

Hi,
Land is registered with the titles office of your state, not local council.
Probably depends what state you're in and how busy they are.

Hi. Was just about to reply and saw Ryalls referred you to my thread. We had no issues. I said to the Beaumont last brickbond, and she suggested 1/3staggered brickbond. Love it.

So there's a video on Coral homes Facebook page with a couple who built a Noosa but they are in a daydream for the video ???

I saw that. Looked so fake and scripted.

I know they loved the Noosa so much but walk round a Daydream - why aren't they walking around their Home

Lol omg so fake!!

I was just saying before we have only had trades for 6 days all month. We are 11 weeks in tomorrow. On the video they say 12 weeks... we are not even close.

I couldn't resist commenting the following

They are sitting in a daydream - why not do the video in the Noosa that they say they love so much - or their home?

Oh if you put that on their Facebook page it will mysteriously disappear this morning. Funny how the only comments on their fb page are positive.

We have just started building and have brickbond in our selection. It did cost us extra though. If they say no, I would speak directly to the tiler.

Seeing the comments about the timber look tiles laid in brick bond, is it better to have them laid half or third? We have only specified "brick bond" but I haven't even thought about the half/third aspect.

Just watched it. It is the display home at Yarrabilba! I have been through it many times (our sales guy is in Yarra) and I never noticed anyone living there lol.

Random question about stamp duty.... We are buying a house and land package with Coral homes would stamp duty have been included in the costs or will we have to pay stamp duty on the land... I really don't need another $1500 of fees

I am sure stamp duty is on top. It is usually done through your solicitor.

exactly hubby laughed cos I started yelling she's in my house not a bloody Noosa lol

lol

hi all looking for opinions
received back form consultant quote to build winton 26 with attached granny flat modified with elegance pack and higher pitch larger garage timber look garage door air con etc. does the consultant quote differ much from the head office tender price. as we need to pay the thousand before we get the tender price.
or do we go gj gardner smaller house not as many extras weathertex not brick home for ten to fifteen thousand more then coral. gj will come with out concrete driveway and crossover for council coral will come with the driveway and crossover. also no air.
we took advice from this thread and added to coral the extra bricks raising the pitch of the roof. having an electrical allowance of five thousand and extra tile allowance of 5000 as well and also considering an allowance of five thousand for upgrades when at queensland show room. these allowance will still keep us in budget for coral.
everyones opinions help thanks what would you do. we understand about how slow coral is and am taking this into consideration as well.
