I have our WIR going in with them also - did Kellie @ New Choice give you their info at prestart? Yes Kellie@NCH did, I had originally hoped to get it all sorted at prestart.... Re: Individual Design - New Choice Homes 163Mar 09, 2018 10:45 pm Choosy J278 Looks so spacious! That will change once the fit outs are done and our furniture is in, can't wait to have space around our dining table . How is your build progressing ? It’s moving along. I’ve been in Melbourne for work this week but I popped down yesterday after I landed in Perth and all of our windows and sliding doors were in and the doors were delivered on site. Supposed to be at lock up today but I didn’t get a chance to pop down. I’ve been looking at wardrobe fit outs too. The ikea ones are nice but ideally I’d like one with a vanity built in so I can get ready for work in there in the morning without waking my partner up (open plan ensuite problems).

Great news that you should be at lock up stage. 😁 Re: Individual Design - New Choice Homes 165Mar 10, 2018 12:02 am Choosy J278 Choosy [quote="J278"]Looks so spacious!

When we got there they had the ones we wanted reduced, they were going fast so we purchased enough for both houses, they have a long return policy in case we change our mind for the new build. Haven't purchased much from Ikea before so will see how they go in the current home.
We also got some table lamps in blue and cream for kids and study/guest room plus some 50 x 50 cushions that caught my eye, all on special. 😁😁😁 Edit: Went with some better pendants in the new build 25cm pendantLike ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ 38cm pendantLike ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Shopping trolley full time to go home.Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Individual Design - New Choice Homes 169Mar 16, 2018 2:25 am Fours weeks ago we realised that our laundry door was going to open onto mirrored sliders (that we never wanted) we didn't want to do another variation however decided to ask our CL about laminate doors as they would be a better suited, wish we had thought about this option sooner... Short story, we came to an agreement with NCH today to arrange our own doors after handover, no more back and forth plus we can get laminated sliders to match the laundry cupboards.

That sounds like a much better option than the price they were asking for laminate sliders. Does the door still open onto the slider?

Yes the laundry door will open onto the sliding doors which is not a problem as it is only a laundry, no WC. NCH tried to modify my design however I did not want the door to open outside the powder room. Re: Individual Design - New Choice Homes 173Mar 18, 2018 2:23 am Busy couple of days.
I had the pendant lights installed in our current house to test them out, will probably stick with downlights in the new house. I still like them however I felt sorry for the electrician as they are fiddly.

As we have 31c celings this combo allows us to have the matching laminate in two sections and the white in the centre which will compliment the sunset white splashback tiles.

Re: Individual Design - New Choice Homes 175Mar 19, 2018 10:08 am The kitchen cabinet maker is doing a site measure this week and white set is due to start next week, we expect lock out will be soon after.

I’ve always liked the green glass kote finishes. Hooray for plasterboard. So much will happen over the next week and a bit for you! I looking forward to seeing the dropped ceiling in the kitchen and scullery. Re: Individual Design - New Choice Homes 180Mar 21, 2018 1:06 am After not seeing anyone onsite this morning we were surprised to see the ceiling installers at 6pm tonight and setting out ready for tomorrow. We went back later and they have installed most of the Aquacheck plasterboard to the Alfresco, Garage, Alfresco and started on the Thearte recessed ceiling. Hi there!
