Hi, it's just the standard ironed profile Build thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=85381#p1630392 Metricon Metro 32 Qld 144Aug 25, 2017 7:44 am Time to start thinking about landscaping. Wanted to do a Aussie native front garden with a few tightly planted small trees & and grasses. Still doing some research & sketched some initial ideas.

Do you remember how much was the stair upgrade costs. I am at the contract stage and have asked for just glass balustrades but now thinking to upgrade to timber stairs.

Not very happy with the kitchen overhead cupboards was expecting the infills to be like 20mm not 200mm! This doesn't look right...what's everyone else's infills like?

Our infills are a lot smaller than yours.. do your elevations have a measurement? Ours don't, but the nominal infill is very similar to the elevation. I'm guessing you may not notice the infill once the face is on though. On mentioning bench height to our SM, he said - oh yeah, those measurements are all nominal.

Metricon Metro 32 KDRB Bayside Melbourne viewtopic.php?f=31&t=84012 Yeah builds are going up pretty quick up here. Your infills look great! Maybe I think our infills stand out more because it's not full row cupboards like yours Build thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=85381#p1630392 Metricon Metro 32 Qld 153Aug 27, 2017 2:44 pm PVBuild Love your cabinetry Vantage!

How high are your ceilings? Did you option for taller overhead cupboards or are they standard? Build thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=85381#p1630392 Metricon Metro 32 Qld 155Aug 28, 2017 9:37 am PVBuild Our cupboard heights were standard, but the house is in the signature range, so it might have more inclusions. Roof height is 2700 (standard height), bulkhead is 300, overhead cabinets are 800. Thanks for confirming I see now where we went wrong. Our ceilings are also 2700 with 300 bulkheads but overhead cabinets are only 720 Unfortunately these are the finished face of the infills. Was ment to be a narrow black shadow line above the cabinets... but now looks like kickboards on the ceiling...just so wrong Build thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=85381#p1630392 Re: Metricon Metro 32 Qld 156Aug 28, 2017 6:17 pm Vantage_35 Unfortunately these are the finished face of the infills. Was ment to be a narrow black shadow line above the cabinets... but now looks like kickboards on the ceiling...just so wrong Oh darn, Vantage.. can you retrofit a white infill after handover? Seriously surprising though that Metricon didn't pick that up, what do your elevations look like? Ie do they show a large infill? Re: Metricon Metro 32 Qld 157Aug 28, 2017 6:19 pm i don't mind the look @vantage35, especially if they are a contrasting colour. But never pleasant seeing something you didn't expect.

Seriously surprising though that Metricon didn't pick that up, what do your elevations look like? Ie do they show a large infill? Yeah we'll fix it up afterwards maybe retrofit taller cabinet doors or something. Didn't pay enough attention to the details haha Build thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=85381#p1630392 Metricon Metro 32 Qld 159Aug 28, 2017 8:43 pm gr8ly i don't mind the look @vantage35, especially if they are a contrasting colour.

Something a bit different, and I'm sure after a few months of living in the house you won't even notice them anymore =) Keen to hear from people in the area who have got KDRB done on whom they got the build from?
