It's all coming together beautifully!! Frame stage completed ✔️ Roofing completed ✔️ Plumbing rough in completed ✔️ Everything Darbecca picked up in inspection was all fixed by Henley without any problems Check out the videos below to see the house in more detail [youtube]https://youtu.be/jMRGOUVm0N4[/youtube] [youtube]https://youtu.be/ggCH3tShcFc[/youtube] [youtube]https://youtu.be/muQhKK96P1Q[/youtube] Re: Henley Electra 2017/2018 build 43Nov 05, 2017 8:17 pm earcangel Week 7 It's all coming together beautifully!!

After looking at that,I am feeling more confident on my decision to go with Electra . How is your thought on the Theatre room size? Do you think that will be enough for 3-4 recliners with a nice viewing angle and space between the couch and the wall? Re: Henley Electra 2017/2018 build 44Nov 05, 2017 8:47 pm Looking great! Good to see it’s progressing so well for you. I hope the momentum continues!

Do you think that will be enough for 3-4 recliners with a nice viewing angle and space between the couch and the wall? Hi dreamhomz, To be honest, we were really worried because we hadn't really seen this house in great detail, but as it is coming along it is longing more and more amazing and we are so happy with the changes we are seeing. I feel great peace in deciding to build the Electra. With regards to the Theatre Room size, I think it is a decent size but if it was a little wider it would have been awesome. It all depends on how chunky your recliners are. We are putting a 4 seater with a chaise but ours is not very chunky. I would be so happy for you to check out our place but I am not sure if Henley will let you through. Have they started your house as yet? Re: Henley Electra 2017/2018 build 46Nov 05, 2017 11:06 pm JustMia Looking great! Good to see it’s progressing so well for you. I hope the momentum continues! It has been great so far justmia, they have done a lot so far in 7 weeks considering they had to stop and we lost almost 2 weeks because they had to fix a few things that our personal inspectors picked up at Frame Stage Inspection. Hoping for a productive season on the build. Re: Henley Electra 2017/2018 build 47Nov 09, 2017 8:00 pm It's coming together nice and fast; what were the big things caught during Darbecca inspections?

I have decided to go with Henley for the electra. Its a beautiful design. I have all the upgrades I require and planning to visit henley tomorrow to get a quote. The 40mm caesar benchtop which you have quoted, is that a category 1 or x? Re: Henley Electra 2017/2018 build 50Jan 05, 2018 11:56 am Thanks much and appreciate your quick response. Re: Henley Electra 2017/2018 build 51Jan 21, 2018 12:16 am so i have asked henley to do similar modifications and at this moment have flatly said no. i will be calling henley to see if i can get the ok from someone higher up. but thank you for the insight! Re: Henley Electra 2017/2018 build 52Jan 23, 2018 11:55 am earcangel Yay! So we had our Colour Selection today with Henley. Very professional! We had Isabella as our Colour Consultant, she was amazing, so patient and lovely to deal with. As mentioned previously, this is our 3rd time building with Henley. The Colour Selection process has improved significantly. Gone are the days when we were in a small room with minimal samples on display. Now they have a fantastic showroom which is set up so well with everything on display. They even provided us with lunch, hot and cold drinks (including my children). Really Impressed. Anyway let’s get back to my Colour Selection EXTERIOR

I am also finalizing to build Henley Aegan 45 , you mentioned in your post that you are doing your flooring from external vendor .. Can you share details of that vendor ?? . Trying to get quote externally to compare what henley is pricing me for . Thanks Re: Henley Electra 2017/2018 build 54Jan 28, 2018 11:45 am ryanl15 so i have asked henley to do similar modifications and at this moment have flatly said no. i will be calling henley to see if i can get the ok from someone higher up. but thank you for the insight! Any luck? I have been told that they cant upgrade to 40mm benchtop and butlers pantry upgrade as this is essence collection. Looks like marketing strategy to push people to move to the next level. Re: Henley Electra 2017/2018 build 55Jan 28, 2018 3:06 pm Maybe they have become more restricter now regarding changes to the Essence range. Our changes were approved over a user ago. That's a same though. Re: Henley Electra 2017/2018 build 56Jan 28, 2018 5:54 pm Price increase on 5th Feb. so paid the initial deposit today. Sales consultant said she will try her best but asked to push during colour selection as well. Will see how it goes. 😞 Re: Henley Electra 2017/2018 build 57Jan 29, 2018 11:27 am Yeah, now they are very strict with essence collection.I also got so many changes approved few months ago but now if I ask even for a small change they always turn it downIt is mainly coz they are swamped by so many contracts and their draftmans are busy. But I wonder what is wrong with selecting 40mm benchtop that is not a structure change and have been always an option at colour selection. Re: Henley Electra 2017/2018 build 58Jan 29, 2018 12:10 pm Yes it doesnt make sense for a 40mm benchtop. Looks like there is a miscommunication as the sales consultant was saying, henley management claims that these upgrades shouldnt be a part of essence collection since Sep 2017. Re: Henley Electra 2017/2018 build 59Feb 08, 2018 4:17 pm Hi houseontherock, Hows your build progressing? Henley’s measurement for the living room is not correct which I came to know after receiving detailed drawings 😞 Is carpet choice cheaper than henley quote? Also is the evaporative cooling what Henley gives is good? Its a brivis p36 with 5 outlets for first floor only. I read in product reviews and the scope is 1.4/5 Re: Henley Electra 2017/2018 build 60Mar 06, 2018 10:36 am Hi earcangel, Hope your build is going well. It's been a while since you posted your last update.Is everything good? Our land is also getting close to entitlement and was curious to know how is yours going. Thanks in advance. Hi, If you give a set of criteria as to what means 'good' to you, it'll give others prompts to respond. We considered Henley early on but there were two factors that… 1 10439 Thank you so much everyone. This all makes a lot of sense. I guess when you talk to a builder who butters up everything to look very polished, you get to start believing… 7 17507 thank you! do we need to get this or our builder before we commence new build on the block? 2 10261 |
