Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Barbie Dream House - First Build in Port Stephens 141May 29, 2018 2:29 pm  Lot126I was so shocked at all the progress, I was expecting maybe windows and no gutters! Can't wait to see the bricks up, they look so blue against a charcoal roof tile. It’s nice to be surprised by the progress, I’m dying to go and see what happened at ours today  See how the bricks look with mortar, which ones did you pick?

Not so keen on your pond, we have one of those too.  16 Jun 2018 14 Junior Member Re: Barbie Dream House - First Build in Port Stephens 150Jun 16, 2018 11:33 pm Hi. I am brand new here looking for hints and tips but primarily for underfloor heating type posts and how to go about it, your comments appeared in the search. Could you tell me about what you came out of Reece with and the underfloor heating you chose in general. I've had a quote 14,800 come back for the house,basically in screed ground floor and 2 bathrooms upstairs and radiators for the rooms but I am concerned about how to go about this with the builder (Simonds) the sales lady wasnt much help and seemed to think i'd have to talk about this with site manager but others say NO make sure there is mention within the contract before signing. We'd fund this ourselves off contract not included in loan for various reasons but just was hoping maybe someone who'd recently done this might have some insight... Or anything to add to the myriad of confusin.. Thanks Lot126No commencement letter or start date yet but I'm sure both aren't too far away, and honestly having another week or so to save is a really good thing. I'm telling myself to be less impatient. Reece was so fun! Most things we were certain of but we walked out with a variation for fancy rimless toilets and underfloor heating!

We are building with a small local project builder and they have priced Stiebel Eltron in-screed underfloor heating kits at $1224 to the main bathroom and $1098 to the ensuite. This doesn't include the shower floors or the space directly beneath floating vanities. https://www.stiebel.com.au/under-floor-heating Our consultant at Reece was fantastic. I'd suggest attending your local branch for more information and as with any build, include everything in your contract and don't sign off until you're certain it's what you want, despite pressure from your builder's sales team. Good luck! ~ Emma 12 Apr 2017 145 NSW Senior Member Re: Barbie Dream House - First Build in Port Stephens 158Jul 07, 2018 7:19 pm Your place is going to be stunning! Re: Barbie Dream House - First Build in Port Stephens 160Jul 08, 2018 4:45 pm Excitement overload following new tile selection this morning -- we have a kitchen!! The dark and moody colour scheme I've agonised over for months seems to be a winner! The lovely tile lady was a bit shocked we're at this stage without tiles, she's going to confirm stock and send us a pricing to sign off on tomorrow so everything can be ordered ASAP. Tile Direct at Beresfield are brilliant! Our new majority floor tile is charcoal with a linear almost timber grain pattern, and graphite grout. The grout and tile colours look almost seamless! All wet areas (floors and walls) have a lighter grey marble tile, with misty grey grout. Ensuite will hopefully be tiled to the ceiling if it doesn't cost too much! Main bathroom and powder room are tiled 1000mm high. Butler's Pantry and Laundry splashback will be white subway tiles laid in a stack bond, with white grout. Our only upgrades will be the graphite grout and the floor to ceiling tiles. I'm really pleased with what we've chosen and omg I just hope it's all in stock!!
