(A dark charcoal) Calvin, can you notice a join in the splash back behind the range hood? I assume yours was in two pieces? Balmoral 34 MKI Majestic Facade (Syd) - Handover 16.11.15 442Dec 17, 2015 5:02 pm Mine is 3 pieces all up. 1 side return on the left side, 1 whole lower section across and an upper piece behind the rangehood.
Re: Balmoral 34 MKI Majestic Facade (Syd) - Handover 16.11.1 443Dec 18, 2015 8:01 am Hi Katran, it's there because i got a curved glass rangehood so the join will be obvious. If it was the non curved glass, i guess it will be hidden. Balmoral 34 MKI Majestic Facade (Syd) - Handover 16.11.15 444Jan 06, 2016 1:44 pm Happy New Year everyone! As everyone's been busy during the holidays, we have also been trying to get things done before we go back to normalcy and head back to work.

Similar story for fencing and WIR. Balmoral 34 MKI Majestic Facade (Syd) - Handover 16.11.15 449Jan 22, 2016 11:44 am The base for the Seaview went up to 397k I believe and the Chifley was about 425k when I asked last week at the displays. All seem to have had a decent bump up since we initially enquired in late 2014. Re: Balmoral 34 MKI Majestic Facade (Syd) - Handover 16.11.1 450Jan 22, 2016 9:38 pm Iceberg, be careful in looking at the base price because it does not include a lot of things. Rawson does no tell you what the basic inclusions look like. Example is the front facade, i think you only get a plain face brick front facade. We added around 15k to get the display home look for the front. Also, if we did not upgrade our stairs and glass balustrade, we dont know how their basic looks like, i assume mdf stairs and pine balustrades? Re: Balmoral 34 MKI Majestic Facade (Syd) - Handover 16.11.1 451Jan 23, 2016 9:58 am I've got some pics on my computer of what the standard rawson staircase is. I'll post up later but from memory it was made of mdf and can't recall what the balustrades were. Definitely nothing exciting and why we opted for the glass balustrades. Re: Balmoral 34 MKI Majestic Facade (Syd) - Handover 16.11.1 452Jan 24, 2016 10:09 am Hi Calvin, looking forward to seeing your WIR when completed. We went to Ikea yesterday to have a look at some 'do it yourself' options, but the cost of that adds up really quickly..... Balmoral 34 MKI Majestic Facade (Syd) - Handover 16.11.15 453Jan 24, 2016 10:16 am Hi Kat, we got the guy do the measure and quote yesterday for a 1.2m x 2.2m L shaped WIR. Using slim line alum frames, full mirror on the short side and mirror insert on the frosted glass on the long side with a set of soft close poly grip drawers, shelves, 2 sets of double hang rails and a single hang rail. We're looking at $2.3k

We are building a Balmoral 34 in Sydney and are in the process of working through our interior design ideas. I have two questions for you 1) Does anyone know why Rawson don't do floor boards or how I can convince them to do this for us? My husband doesn't want the hassle of doing after handover. 2) If we upgrade the caeserstone in the kitchen to a deluxe one (plus 40mm waterfall on island) does anyone know what the cost of the upgrade is. And also, whether we can choose a different caeserstone for the bathrooms or what the additional cost might be? Thanks so much! Re: Balmoral 34 MKI Majestic Facade (Syd) - Handover 16.11.1 458Feb 07, 2016 7:41 pm Hi sideb06, we are having bamboo floorboards through out the house and Rawson are doing this though their supplier Accent Carpets. This is an upgrade cost. The cost for the island displayed at Kellyville is in the upgrade list that you can get from home world. I think from memory it was approx 1,600 to go from 20 to 80 with the waterfall ends. The cost of a caeserstone upgrade in the kitchen will depend on what you choose, we upgraded part of the kitchen to snow, that was approx 500, this included the cost of two different colours in the kitchen. Of course these prices may have increased since we completed our selections. Hope that helps. Re: Balmoral 34 MKI Majestic Facade (Syd) - Handover 16.11.1 459Feb 08, 2016 6:46 am Hi everyone! We are also building a Balmoral 34. Still in pre construction. Katran, do yo know what Bamboo flooring brand they are using? If you don't mind sharing, what did the upgrade to Bamboo cost? We've done our tile selection but are not happy with our main tile selection. Sideb06, you can choose a different Ceasarstone for the bathrooms. There is a charge though. From memory, it's like $350. Probably to cover the extra wastage. Balmoral 34 MKI Majestic Facade (Syd) - Handover 16.11.15 460Feb 08, 2016 7:11 am Hi side06, Rawson does floorboards but their selection is from topdeck brand that includes bamboo and german engineered floorboards. We had our firstfloor all floorboards and from memory added 4k as variation. I'm not sure about timber floorboards though, you will need to get this costed from your PCA. As for your second question, i'm not sure how much the cost is to upgrade for that one particular item. We had our ceasarstone upgraded from a package we opted in that costed us additional 6k which at the time was called birthday bonus. Bonus included AC upgrade, benchtops and bathroom tops upgrade, laundry upgrade, 2x niches, high ceiling, downlights to a room of choice, paint upgrade, etc. Can't recall the others. Like Katran, we paid an extra 500 to get a 2-tone colour for the ceasars. Dear Members I have to decide the Facade column size. My custom builder standard is 350mm with rendering, but i asked for 470mm plus stone or tiles and yet to get… 0 7496 traditional gable roof facade - Have you did the dark and light gray color combination in facade with gray stone in facade… 0 4211 Looking to tile the facade pillars rather than rendering. Builder is quoting 2500$ laying cost for upto 10msq. The 2 pillars come to be 16msq. So laying costs are 5000$… 0 7545 |
