Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Oct 31, 2015 5:15 pm Hi guys im currently just about to start building the memphis floorplan through jg king with the memphis facade in the geelong area. I just wanted to talk to others who are also planning on building with jgking or others who have built or are currently in the build process. Just want to share our whole experiences , processes etc. Ill start updating this post on a regular basis with photos and comments as soon as the build starts in early december. We are about a week away from going in to see jess and do all out colour selections. Very exciting few months to follow cant wait Re: building the jg king memphis-trent facade, geelong 2Oct 31, 2015 6:50 pm Welcome having a thread Jimmy following forsure! Our Build Thread - JG king Memphis Re: building the jg king memphis-trent facade, geelong 4Oct 31, 2015 7:55 pm What kind of colours are you thinking? We went to have at the Huntley displays to see the odyssey two a couple of months ago. There are some nice displays there, lots of ideas to get Re: building the jg king memphis-trent facade, geelong 5Oct 31, 2015 8:04 pm Where is huntley? We need kitchen a d bathroom colours . We will be voing mainly light colours in whites, tans and maybe some woodgrain vanities. We are open to ideas as yet to dexide exactly which way to go. Outside lookong at a dark brown brick with maybe beigey colour windows and rollerdoor. What have you guys decided? Re: building the jg king memphis-trent facade, geelong 6Oct 31, 2015 8:40 pm Huntley is near Bendigo.. About 10-15 minutes out. We have chosen goldfield haze as our brick, and gully for out roof, we have some grey and cream as well on the facade. Inside we have champagne bamboo (which is nothing like Champagne) it's not light but but not dark, wet areas we have some wood grain, dark greyish brown tiles and some light white French nougat ceaser stone bench tops. The kitchen has the same bench top with white colour and brown bottom cupboards and splash back. Looks good in my head oh and carpet is a brown as well, with a greyish hint to it. Re: building the jg king memphis-trent facade, geelong 8Oct 31, 2015 8:52 pm Just a quick question, why do most people down south go brick and not render? Re: building the jg king memphis-trent facade, geelong 9Oct 31, 2015 8:58 pm Hi Wilson for us we've look at a few 5 year old estates and the render seems to age poorly which is one reason we've choosen to do mostly brick. Our Build Thread - JG king Memphis Re: building the jg king memphis-trent facade, geelong 11Oct 31, 2015 9:02 pm Thanks guys. I will definitely keep that in mind about the render not ageing well. Re: building the jg king memphis-trent facade, geelong 12Oct 31, 2015 9:06 pm I hope your build goes great and I have subscribed if you don't mind to see your house progress. Re: building the jg king memphis-trent facade, geelong 14Nov 01, 2015 6:04 pm Oh I'm glad you found something you love! It makes it so much easier to have a picture of it! I haven't seen anything with the colours I like in particular so it's hard to imagine. But I imagine it to be similar to that photo so I like it! We have done the pillers in the same colour as the Windows (although not the same grey we chose woodland grey) Re: building the jg king memphis-trent facade, geelong 15Nov 02, 2015 1:35 pm Hi Jimmy the colours look great. I like the contrast of the dark roof and windows against the facia. And i think the garage door lightens it up otherwise it would be very dark. Have you choosen your brick choice yet? How was the huntly displays? Was it worth checking out? We went and checked out jg king craigeburn and mernda as well as going back through the geelong jg kings. Its firmed up some decisions for us too Re: building the jg king memphis-trent facade, geelong 16Nov 02, 2015 2:12 pm Hi julia Yeah we likes it the only other option was to have the windows same colour as the garage door might also look ok. We havent been given a list of what all the standard and upgraded bricks are yet but will go for a nice brownish tone similar to photo. In regards to huntly display there wasnt anything we havent seen in and around the geelong displays so i wpuldnt bother going out there. We have to make some decisions in the next week or so wich will be hard. I would love to just walk into a house we absolutely lpve and copy it. Where u building? When do you start? And what floor plan and facade?
