Looks fabulous laijer

Nice! You're building the Beaumont are you?

Any quality issues you've faced so far?

Hi Laijer thanks for the photos - really liked the staircase look - it just gives it an open look - I think this concept is better than what Arden give in display homes

Beautiful!!! Do they put a bulkhead above kitchen cabinets? Love the staircase. We really wanted to have that staircase but we needed a wall for the tv!!! Ha ha

Is that polar or classic white laijer?

It's a Votivo 43, with some modifications to the floor plan. The stair case looks like the Beaumont one.

Just only the pre-plaster stuff that I posted about in the Arden Homes thread about a month ago. But, since the regional construction manager took over from the outgoing SS, he's since rectified all the defects, it looks to be pretty good. I did see a couple of chips come off the rendering in the corners though, will have to mention that to the new SS when I meet him next week.

Yeah, if you keep the standard Votivo layout, you don't have the option to open it up.

Hmm, yeah... never thought about a bulkhead. The wifey hasn't mentioned it or complained about not having one, so I might just keep that to myself


Yeah, we like it too. It's nothing fancy, but it still nice enough to look at.
We kept the Rumpus room (which I believe you deleted in your plans), so that's where our TV lives


It's Vanilla Quake Quarter with White on White for the skirting, cornices and ceiling.
Edit: Oh, if you were asking about the cabinets, yes, it's classic white in a sheen finish.

Hey Laijer, yes it was the cupboards, we choose the same, that look fab. How funny about bulk head, looks good, I thought you’d asked not to have one

Hi Ezza
Have you had frame inspection - I have sent a PM - please let me know who found out? Thinking of changing to housepect

Plumbing roughed in and Hebel delivered today!

so exciting - this lets me know how many days for my hebel to arrive once the frame starts next week

Our frame took about 3. Gutters and roof took a week and a half, plumbing a day and Hebel guy said they get ground floor done in a week. Good luck for frame on Monday, at least you shouldn’t have your windows laying around with no roof on.

Any one know what these white poles are coming out of the roof, they seem to be above bathrooms but not where exhaust fans are.

They're vents for the drains. Water can't flow away freely unless air is pulled in to displace it. The pipes will be properly flashed so the roof is watertight.

Well I don’t know but what I can see from photos is one impressive House coming up in your street
And my impressive will start tomorrow cos there are no neighbours building yet - one immediate has just got plumbing done and other side guy just the taps

Thanks Exxie, you learn something new everyday! How’s your build going now?

It was going well while the construction manager was looking after things. He's just handed over to the new SS, so we'll see. Early signs are good though.
