What house are you building? Did you see Haydn initially? Re: Building with simonds homes is SA 23Jun 05, 2015 9:47 pm whoop sorry i didnt realise i posted that back to you! thank you we are building the isis, we added a study and WIL from the garage as well. Yeah we seen Haydn, he was great, so helpful! Re: Building with simonds homes is SA 27Jun 05, 2015 10:58 pm I LOVE the Isis -- the display at Seaford is my favorite Simonds display in SA. initially I chose my internal wall colours based on it. Great home. And I really like the facade you've chosen. No wonder you are so happy Re: Building with simonds homes is SA 28Jun 06, 2015 11:48 am I must've read it wrong. I was under the impression your house was complete, sorry. Glad you are enjoying your experience, I'm not buulding with simonds, where abouts are you building? Re: Building with simonds homes is SA 29Jun 06, 2015 11:49 am I like your benchtop in the kitchen, is that laminate? What colour do they call that? Re: Building with simonds homes is SA 30Jun 06, 2015 12:40 pm Hi heatherkam! We are building in the northern suburbs of Adelaide Who are you building through? Yes its laminate, i really wanted stone but they quoted us 7.5k without waterfall ends! The laminate is called carrara, i actually love it, but still would like to change to stone later on down the track Re: Building with simonds homes is SA 31Jun 06, 2015 1:40 pm jayjay87 http://postimg.org/image/av4kx9m11/ our kitchen before the floors were in I too am building with Simonds Homes in Victoria. What is your cabinet selection in your Kitchen, colour and finish. Thanks. I hope my build goes well. You sound pretty happy with yours. We start soon. Re: Building with simonds homes is SA 32Jun 06, 2015 11:12 pm Hey @jayjay87 we are building with fairmont homes, also in adelaide north (blakes crossing) I wanted stone too but I chose a better brick for the house and better paint instead, hoping to change the benchtops later too I want waterfall edge so I'm glad I can still achieve it with the laminate...we aren't due to start building till later this year so I'm trying to follow a few different people with theirs! Can't.wait.to hear more updates as you go. Did your footings go alirght. How big is your home? Re: Building with simonds homes is SA 33Jun 07, 2015 12:31 am Hi @goody59, the kitchen cabinets are polar white in the sheen finish. We are very happy with everything so far, hope your experience is the same @heatherkam My partner and I did similar things, we upgraded more structural things that can't be done later, such as high ceiling's etc. Have you done your selections yet? Our footings were fine as we had a fixed contract so there were no hidden costs at all. Im not sure how big our home is 21 sq? i think? not sure Re: Building with simonds homes is SA 34Jun 07, 2015 7:09 am Thanks JayJay87. I thought that may have been the colour and finish. Nice. We chose the same but now Simonds have gone to Laminex brand rather than the Polytech brand I think as being the last brand they used when we chose it through Gallery stage. Re: Building with simonds homes is SA 35Jun 10, 2015 11:24 pm Hey jayjay we haven't done selections yet only preliminary for the council approval. Just looking at colours etc now, we did alot of upgrading in the quoting process so I'm hopeful we won't need to do much more than choose colours of things. Im not sure how It all equates. our home with garage is 302sqm I saw the new display homes at blakes crossing over the weekend, simonds really love the decor. So much furniture and accessories in their displays! Re: Building with simonds homes is SA 36Jun 11, 2015 12:56 am What colour are your walls JJ? Did you do any features? I think Simonds price for feature walls is excellent ($400 for as many you want) Re: Building with simonds homes is SA 37Jun 11, 2015 11:38 pm Hi Heatherkam! your house is pretty big I checked out the new simonds display homes i loved the decor of the first one! I look forward to seeing what selections you choose Hi Tomcat! our walls are called silver screen, it is seriously the strangest colour but i love it. I love grey but didn't want it to look too cold, so at times it looks grey and other times it looks beige ish! i seen they are upto your second level framing, how exciting! Re: Building with simonds homes is SA 38Jun 13, 2015 12:56 am Hey, you're in aren't you?! So how does it feel? Ahhh Silver screen -- that is such a nice colour. Someone else building with Simonds in SA had the colour too. Maybe Deluxes who built at Mt Barker. Re: Building with simonds homes is SA 39Jun 16, 2015 11:19 pm Silver screen sounds nice we are expecting our selection packs soon. I will be updating my thread soon with our colour selections I don't want to hijack your simonds thread too much! Re: Building with simonds homes is SA 40Jun 19, 2015 8:57 pm Hey guys! we are still not in! The banks have been ridiculous incompetent and slow! we handed in our invoice last week and the valuation wasn't booked until today! which didn't happen btw! and the only way we knew that it didn't is because when we went to the house we noticed that we had been broken in to!!!! they ruined two doors, a window, stole our STOVE and scuffed up our floors a bit. We are both furious and so upset, i just don't understand how people can be so low... what ever you do, don't let the builder install any stoves, hot water systems or anything before you handover! thankfully it comes under their insurance as we haven't had handover yet, just a massive set back and so much stress! Ask for references and speak to them. If they are defensive or try to avoid the request, walk. 1 47539 I would never build with Fowler homes.
