Anyone can share the experience. Thanks. I am thinking if it is worth adding niche for every shower.

It is coming to $110 per sqm for exposed agg. And $75 per sq m for normal Does anyone know how much for exposed aggregate per sq m ? And does anyone have any contracts to share for more quotes? https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?url=ht ... are_type=t I was told by our concreter that he charges about $80/m2 for exposed agg. He didn't think M's price was too bad considering their usual markups. We are getting M to do our exposed agg driveway - so we can get it done at time of building, and also include it in the house price/mortgage, rather than finding money for it after. What are M charging you for just the driveway? $8,320 for 52m2 ($160/m2) for exposed aggregate driveway by M. Sorry, i must have given the wrong figure in my last post. This was the price we were given by M, and our concreter was cheaper - he was $120/m2 for exposed aggregate. The $80/m2 I mentioned above from my concreter was for regular concrete.[/quote]Thanks everyone for your replies that means our quote is not that bad but we still need a few quotes to compare the price. https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?url=ht ... are_type=t Re: Building with Metricon 8280Jan 22, 2019 9:01 pm We got our Certificate of Occupancy....Yay....now have to wait to inspect all defects are fixed. We have a few mortar issues, chipped tiles, bloated door bottoms, junction boxes missing, paint defects, stacker door rollers missing, rainwater tank to be fixed etc. Did you all get a Notice of Completion and then you went on site to check as stated in the contract before handing over the cheque? Can someone tell me what a Notice of Completion looks like? Approximately how long between OC and handover? So nervous and excited at the same time!
