Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Simonds express Westbury Beckett facade 32Oct 08, 2016 2:28 pm So excited for it to start taking shape !! Re: Simonds express Westbury Beckett facade 35Oct 10, 2016 3:20 pm Another Simonds build. YAY! Were you able to get any additional stuff added? we are looking to build in Tarneit once the land titles Q3 next year. We went to a few of the Simonds displays and got some quotes and they all say they cannot do any upgrades even if we were willing to pay for them. Reading some of the forums here, a few people managed to get upgrades done. Ho did you do it? is it depending on the sales agent you talk to? any advise would be appreciated. Re: Simonds express Westbury Beckett facade 36Oct 10, 2016 6:32 pm Yes I managed to change heaps of things like upgraded laundry, showers, vanity units, wider bench, pendant lights, shower niches to name a few:) I had to pay of course- and I got a extra sliding door instead of a window out of the family room so we can do a decking:) I know a few people haven't been able to make changes and others made heaps! They def can do it - once you know you want to build that kind of house if your firm then they should buckle lol! Re: Simonds express Westbury Beckett facade 37Oct 11, 2016 6:11 am Has anyone had a air conditioner installed after handover ? We are doing our own as it was a much better price but Simonds won't let them onsite to install it they want them to do it after handover but the air conditioner man says it's best for him to run the drain internally as if he does it externally it will look terrible! What should I do ? Push back on Simonds ? Thanks Re: Simonds express Westbury Beckett facade 38Oct 11, 2016 7:38 am I don't know about that one.. Maybe ask Simonds why they won't let him on site, there might be a legitimate reason (not covered by insurance, etc). depends where you're putting it, if it's down the side of the house where no one's really going to see it won't really matter...

The only thing you can try doing is asking your SS, we were told that some can be more lenient than others.. Re: Simonds express Westbury Beckett facade 40Oct 11, 2016 12:45 pm Yeah thanks guys - I can understand where they are coming from to not allow them onsite - and I think that also if it's down beside the house then I can't see it and it shouldn't bother me.... 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 4210 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 7542 |
