The girl was very helpful. It's easy to add $$$ with extra power points & data points. I wanted pendant lights over the kitchen bench, but my husband wanted down lights. He won! I'm still having a pendant over the stairs though... We then had a quick look in Cosham again, knowing that we weren't signing contracts today. We've decided to change all our cabinetry to White laminex with a Silk finish. After reading a thread about two tone kitchens & whether they'd date, we decided to go with the safe option. Contracts have been delayed as they're still estimating the requirements to meet the acoustic survey. Hopefully we'll have this in the next couple of days. Admin said to re check our preliminary contract & send through any changes by Sunday so we won't have to pay a variation fee. After contract signing she said approx 4 weeks to start date. Hi rondy, I was wondering what forum you were looking at about the two tone kitchens? As this is what we are currently thinking of doing. Thanks Re: Henley Sahara Q2 - KDR 36Sep 17, 2015 7:59 pm darrenedwards rondy We had our electrical appointment today. The girl was very helpful.

I just found it on the Tapatalk feed on my phone. I just posted on the thread if you can find it that way. Not sure that it had much info, it just made us think a little more about the future house. KDR Under the Flight Path - Dennis Family Homes (Hawkesdale) Re: Henley Sahara Q2 - KDR 37Sep 17, 2015 8:24 pm Hopefully the acoustic fees aren't too much. How close are you to the airport? Are you in a direct flight path? I'd be guessing they'll upgrade insulation, window glazing and add acoustic plaster. Not sure how similar it'll be to energy rating requirements it'd end up in terms of pricing, but we had to fork out a bit over $2k for double glazed windows and all upgraded insulation.

Not sure how similar it'll be to energy rating requirements it'd end up in terms of pricing, but we had to fork out a bit over $2k for double glazed windows and all upgraded insulation. We're on the edge of the flight path (4km from the airport). We can see the planes come in low. We are required to have: Plaster - either 13mm or 16mm depending on location Sarking - 18mm plywood sarking Roof insulation - min 100mm acoustic insulation Wall insulation - min 75mm acoustic insulation We were already having double glazed windows ($7K), however they're having trouble finding the windows recommended in the acoustic report below. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ They put in a provisional amount of $13k to cover the acoustics. Apparently our double glazing will be reduced when they finally work out the costs. We said we wouldn't sign contract until they could provide actual costs. We're in an old rental at the moment, without all these things & the sound is not that bad! KDR Under the Flight Path - Dennis Family Homes (Hawkesdale) Re: Henley Sahara Q2 - KDR 39Sep 23, 2015 7:46 pm Very disappointed at the moment! Received an email this morning to say Henley are still waiting for pricing for our acoustic grade windows & won't have it until the end of next week. That's two weeks after we were supposed to sign our contracts. The acoustic report was dated 11th August. Obviously they just put it in the too hard basket... KDR Under the Flight Path - Dennis Family Homes (Hawkesdale) Hi, I am looking into doing a KDR in Melbourne and am contemplating using Kialla Homes. I am looking for feedback on them from others who have built with them. 0 14081 Hello everyone, After some suggestions and ideas about how to put a concrete path around the drop edge beam area on our new build. We are required to have a concrete path… 0 13108 |
