I know they have a contract with each other, but there really wasnt anything that jumped out at me. We have to organise a meeting with made In Stone. I'd love to pick something from the Dekton range! We picked Cygnus based on this pinterest find actually! Light marble grey. After we were told about the stone, the SS called to tell us the standard 1600 freestanding bath tub also went out of stock, so thankfully they offered to upgrade to the 1800 free of charge! So that was a small bonus Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Fowler Homes Catalina 23 - Oran Park 302Oct 19, 2018 1:30 pm Also SS has mentioned he wants to do final inspection in 2 weeks??!! Does he mean PCI???? Re: Fowler Homes Catalina 23 - Oran Park 303Oct 22, 2018 8:49 pm The Cygnus colour is beautiful - can totally see why you wanted it! But I guess as long as you can find an alternative that you're happy with, then all is well 😊. PCI already? That sounds crazy soon! Is that what he meant? Wow! 😃 Re: Fowler Homes Catalina 23 - Oran Park 304Oct 29, 2018 12:56 pm Newy-Jan Hey CW_L, That is so awful!!! Can't believe your choice of stone is discontinued! I would be so upset too! Makes me want to cry just thinking about it. 😣 Those finishes are one of the few things that keep you going during the long wait. Have you picked an alternative? Almost tempting to personally source it after the build and get a credit back. Was Cygnus like a dark gray colour? We had a call from our Site supervisor on Tuesday and they started the cut and fill on Wednesday. Hooray for progress! Yes we ended up picking a nicer alternative Almost identical to Cygnus YAY! Congrats, how exciting! Re: Fowler Homes Catalina 23 - Oran Park 305Oct 29, 2018 1:03 pm Hi Everyone, Just wondering if anyone has images from the door stain selection from your colours appointments? I'm trying to find a particular colour to compare ours too, and couldn't remember if the wood block samples had labels on them?

I actually asked them to re-stain our front door when I first saw it as it looked more like a red brown and I knew I had chosen walnut specifically as I didn't want those red undertones. And they did it straight away for me. Re: Fowler Homes Catalina 23 - Oran Park 310Oct 29, 2018 1:40 pm Lara21 Quote: Thank you lara21 I'm trying to find out what colour this was called.

So its been signed off as black.. but our door is quite literally black, and not this. Im not sure what can be done.

I remember one being called black something but it looked pretty much black in the sample. Have you asked if they would change it?

Have you asked if they would change it? Were going to keep asking about it. We weren't ever shown that wood chart or this chart from QTF. from http://www.qtf.com.au/colours/ . Just seems so odd that our colours lady would tell us that. Theres no way we wouldve picked black as a stain if we'd know it wasnt what i was holding in that picture. Re: Fowler Homes Catalina 23 - Oran Park 315Oct 29, 2018 2:03 pm Lara21 I hope they fix it for you! Was it meant to be Black Japan? The colour chart you linked looks like Black Japan is a similar brown colour? Thank you, i hope so too. Yes, thats what i thought too. Thanks for helping! I'll keep you posted with what happens. ~ Amazing work with your garden by the way, i've been following your progress! Its really all coming together now! Re: Fowler Homes Catalina 23 - Oran Park 317Nov 04, 2018 12:12 pm We had our PCI on Friday! There's still a few touch ups to do and weve discouvered cracking in our grout in our main ensuite but hopefully they can get it fixed before the 16th which is the tentative date for Handover Im not very happy with the colour of our stair balustrades and steps though but it'll be easy enough to paint over later on i guess so im not too concerned!

I'm sure you're super relieved its almost over, and just in time for Christmas too Like you, I'm trying not to get too caught up on things that are just cosmetic issues. The colour we picked (taubmans adolescence) for our outdoor pillars look like a baby blue, instead of a mid grey. So we'll be painting on top of it also. I would never build with Fowler homes. I built with them in 2021 and till date maintenance issues are pending. All their existing trades and businesses don't work with… 14 105617 Anyone built with Fowler Homes? Feedback?
