Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Feb 14, 2015 6:49 pm Our build is finally happening. I am so excited. Footings were done yesterday. Fingers crossed slab will be done next week. All our selections have been made and now we are just waiting eagerly for it to come together. We actually designed this home with our builder so we are pretty excited to see what it will look like.

Re: Our new build 3Feb 15, 2015 12:36 am Hi congrats on pad down and finally getting something tangible happening on your build. Do you have floor plans to post? Re: Our new build 4Feb 15, 2015 7:51 am Thanks guys. We are building with a Brisbane company called Landmark constructions. They have been absolutely wonderful to date. Nothing is too hard. I was so indecisive with colours and changed both external and internal with no extra charge. I have asked to add an extra colour to the outside so I will see probably Monday how much that will be. Do you know how to add an image? I would like to show you my plan and colour choices etc. I am using me phone and when I click image nothing happens. Do you have any ideas? Has anyone seen vanilla quake quarter painted anywhere? Re: Our new build 8Feb 15, 2015 8:34 am Everything looks pink due to my camera. We have chosen Belfast grey floor tile which is also our wall tile for ensuite and bathroom. We have chosen white classic gloss cabinetry with ravine char oak as the feature with ceaser stone clam shell for benches and a large white tile splashback. I don't have a pic yet of carpet but it is charcoal. The cabinetry in the bathrooms, powder and laundry is char oak. The outside colours are surfmist roof , gutters and fascia and garage door. Shale grey around garage, wallaby pillars and wallaby render under cladding and surfmist for main render and cladding.

I guess when you talk to a builder who butters up everything to look very polished, you get to start believing… 8 17183 |
