Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Feb 22, 2017 3:32 pm Hey peeps long time lurker/poster thought I would finally start a thread for our build
Stay tuned as I plan to update this with a fair amount of information over the next few days Thanks Whitey Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ So the journey started around August last year after a month of looking around at pre existing housing we could not find something that we were completely happy with so the idea of building came to fruitation................ Fast forward a month or 2 and we were wandering around looking at display homes throughout the region after getting some ideas and quotes from numerous builders we decided to go with Coral (hoping this turns out to be a good decision). After umming and ahhhing we settled on going with the Avoca 23 mostly due to the nice floorplan and spacious master/ensuite............. Currently just waiting to get the colours variation back and council approval is due very soon needless to say itching to get that start date and see things start to happen. Have made some minor modifications to the original house plan Things like flipped the entrance Removal / resizing of windows Added sliding doors to areas Increased spaces etc In addition to this Facade - St kilda - All rendered bar brick pillars Increased ceiling height Bathroom Upgrade Ensuite Upgrade Laundry Package Added basin and mirror to 2nd toilet Large w.i.r fitout to master Broom cupboard to linen Shower Niche to Ensuite Mirrored doors to bed 2, 3 wardrobes Alfresco Tiling Floor waste to laundry Removed cement sheeting above windows, front door, sliding doors replaced with brick And a few more things im sure that i can't remember off the top of my head will update as i go Some of the selections we have went with are as follows Bricks - Austral Chiffon Driveway Exp Agg Garage door - Caoba Stained outdoor post in alfresco - merbau Translucent laminate glass insert for entry door merbau front entry door stain Cabinant laminates ill update soon as i can't remember names Kaduna handless on all cabinantry Snow stone upgrade to Ensuite and master bath 2 colour laminate kitchen Carpet upgrade - Gold range Underlay upgrade Front Security door - new range - no centre support bar Diamond grill for sliding doors with aluminum mesh Towel rail upgrade in master bathroom to 800mm Hand towel rail in 2nd toilet Hand towel master bath Floor waste upgrades – Bermuda Waterfall edge to island bench Pantry, Media and Master LIN1 Doors and stained frames - charcoal Ensuite timber feature stained charcoal Upgrade size of study bench to 60mm Black tapware to Ensuite - Pheonix Kitchen Sink - Franke Black Kitchen Tap - Phoenix Toilets Luna - Included Off white mortar - Included Fair few other minor selections , paint, colours, other doors etc but most of the main stuff is above Electrical Appointment has been done just went bare basics - apart from extra tv point or 2 and outlet on island bench ( have quite a few plans for my electrical fitout after we move in and I get the time) Tiling Appointment was great after a lot of visits leading up to the appointment we changed our mind on a few things during the day but was really happy with the outcome apart from spending an extra 4k or so Colour wise we went with greys and darks apart from some spots we went white Decided against a glass splashback and went with a tiled option (satin white structured) Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Few teaser pics for now will structure and organise this properly soon just wanted to get some info up for the followers Thanks heaps Re: NSW: Coral Homes Avoca 23 2Feb 22, 2017 3:50 pm Yay!
