I'd recommend you get this called out to your CSC now and ask for a contract extension. They will push back and say "let see if we can get council to approve within the required timeframe, etc etc" but at least you have raised your expectations now.

We spent around $28k which was quite a bit considering we were getting our appliances separately. M doesn't give you credit for appliances, they just give it to you in the box for you to sell. Some of the features we opted for included: - overhead cabinets for the butler's pantry - 40mm organic white stone bench tops for kitchen and island (with waterfall ends) - Lexicon white quarter polyurethane kitchen cupboards with sharknose edge - Black Caviar toughened glass splashback around the kitchen window splashback Something like this: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ (We've since decided to get rid of the warming drawer cause we blew our budget) Some tips we learnt were: - know your fridge size so you can expand the fridge size void if required - if you are getting a gas stove, make sure you have adequate height to the rangehood, which could be higher than your window splashback and overhead cabinets Build thread: Metricon Liberty 45 in Ryde, NSW Metricon Liberty 45 in Ryde NSW 144Sep 30, 2016 10:47 pm The kitchen people also did our laundry and bathroom cabinetry. We ended up getting: - overhead laminate cabinets for the laundry in polar white - 20mm organic white stone benchtop for bathrooms - laminate vanities for bathrooms in nocturne oak with tiled kickboard It's good to have your internals appointment first as the height of your bathroom vanities will depend on the type of sink and tap you get Build thread: Metricon Liberty 45 in Ryde, NSW Re: Metricon Liberty 45 in Ryde NSW 146Oct 25, 2016 6:47 pm If anyone is looking for a great demolition team try : Deesel Demolition.

Metricon Liberty 45 in Ryde NSW 149Oct 26, 2016 11:30 pm dulie Quick question Quirmeball, how much was the Lexicon white quarter polyurethane kitchen cupboards with sharknose edge upgrade? Hi Dulie, for us in NSW it was $4.3k inc GST for the polyurethane cupboards and around $2k inc GST for the sharknose edge. We thought it was worth it considering we have overhead cupboards and below the bench top for both the kitchen and butler's pantry, above the fridge space, and both sides of our island bench If you just want the kitchen and not the butler's pantry to be polyurethane and sharknose, you can knock about $900 off the price of the polyurethane and $300 off the sharknose price Metricon Liberty 45 in Ryde NSW viewtopic.php?t=82846 Build thread: Metricon Liberty 45 in Ryde, NSW Re: Metricon Liberty 45 in Ryde NSW 150Oct 27, 2016 1:12 am Orpheus NthHome If anyone is looking for a great demolition team try : Deesel Demolition.

This has been pretty hassle free but still, I never want to see Studio M again. Ever. Re: Metricon Liberty 45 in Ryde NSW 151Oct 27, 2016 12:19 pm Did you get a glass splashback? If so mind if I ask the cost for the kitchen and Pantry?

Ryde council can be painfully slow depending on whom you've been allocated. I had to escalate and once I did my case officer (CY) finally pulled his finger out in two weeks. I also got M to provide council with authority to release the stamped plans to me to avoid a further week delay for council to snail mail them back to M. M we're happy for me to pick them up from council office. I also got to check what had been submitted (painfully they'd submitted the wronged bricks!)
