Most of the house will be tiled in Euromarmo Breccia Grigio 600X600 Glazed Polished tile which is the same as the display home.

I found something of interest also. The Doulton's tiles have an aluminium L shaped strip to protect the corner of the tiles from chipping. The one in the display is not silver in colour (as most examples) but powder coated in a colour called Jasper by Colourbond. I asked for this to match the display as I nearly missed it at tile selection and only picked it up when reading the display home colour setup.

Re: Building the Metricon Doulton 65Feb 02, 2018 8:53 pm thank you everyone. The Demolition of the old house has started. Looking forward to the next part. Re: Building the Metricon Doulton 66Feb 24, 2018 6:03 pm The old house has been demolished last week but have not had the chance to upload a pic until now. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ There are some broken bricks/concrete from the demo that the demo company left. Does anyone know if they need to be picked up. I am thinking of spending part of a day (when free) grabbing a bin and collecting them up. Do not want M to charge me a fee (to clean-up) when they arrive to build.

If you think there’s larger items that needs to be clean or tree stumps/roots then get your demo guy to come back and clean it. Mine and a few others member did the same thing to their site.

Great look forward to seeing your updates viewtopic.php?t=86597 Re: Building the Metricon Doulton 73Apr 05, 2018 12:53 am Hello. Your updates list are impressive. We r in early stage signing the preliminary contract this week and studio M next week. Do you mind sharing the upgrade cost ? Many thanks Re: Building the Metricon Doulton 74Apr 05, 2018 9:54 am Hello Charlotte, the upgrade cost for my build were a touch over 500k. If you want to know more about the costs of the different upgrades, just chime in below and I will answer. good luck, I enjoyed selections best part of the whole experience in my opinion (up until now) Re: Building the Metricon Doulton 75Apr 05, 2018 8:29 pm Thank you for your reply. I don't know which upgrade as yet so may have to wait until visiting studio M How is your building going along? Does your site cost cost more than the preliminary quote? Thanks Charlotte Re: Building the Metricon Doulton 76Apr 05, 2018 10:19 pm The build has not started yet. Hopefully in the next couple of months. The site costs went up dramatically. From the initial 40K to 57k at contract. Then another 34k on top of that although that may change (waiting for the 2nd soil results) If you are doing KDR M sure hits you with massive site costs. Re: Building the Metricon Doulton 77Apr 05, 2018 10:43 pm Our was 55 k and increase to nearly 68k. And still haven't got the second soil test. Your looks more reasonable.
