Browse Forums Building A New House Re: First Home - Fairhaven Homes - Colour Selection 11Mar 09, 2018 4:59 pm Stroud2512 We're currently at construction phase with slab only 8 days away eeek!! We ended up selecting - monument roof gutters and pipes, thunderstorm brick, shale grey garage, sandstorm rendered piers (I think that's what it's called lol), a dark grey door and the matte black trilock which was an upgrade but so nice I couldn't say no was about $250. Aluminium frames are also black and we put glazing on the main door slots for privacy. Inside we chose a dark grey tile for pets also, black kitchen benches on the bottom, pure black kitchen bench stone, light grey glass splashback and white overhead cupboards all in matte finish not shiny cause I hate fingerprints haha. We also added 3 downright spots over kitchen bench for feature lights and split the garage light into 2 because we have motorbikes and cars. Wall colour was a really nice silver white that's name escapes me but it's fresh and we chose black carpet cat 3 called licorice but I don't think they sell any more actually. There are a million tiles and colours to chose have a good idea before you go it's very overwhelming hahaha. Having said that we only took 2.5 hours which is apparently really quick so? Pays to be prepared hahaha! Oh how exciting. I think the slab will make it more real. There is something physical that resembles a house lol. I seemed to have picked similar colours to your externals!

Very relaxed setting and I found it went pretty quickly (no major changes). So far, the staff at Fairhaven seem to be quite good and friendly to work with.

I may need to do some adjustments if I can't fit it all in my budget. I went with as many standards as possible and I found the cat 1 choices to be pretty reasonable (you could have a nice house with all cat 1/standard items, IMO). Fairhaven Homes - Clovelly 191 Re: First Home - Fairhaven Homes - Colour Selection 13Mar 09, 2018 9:47 pm I’ve recently moved into my covelly 191 and am really happy with it and impressed with the quality for such a low price. I made a few structural changes I turned the current laundry into a butlers pantry and the split bed 4 down the middle length ways and turned half into a laundry and extended my WIR and ensuite and made all the upgrades I wanted and came in at just under 206k. I went a grey colour palette through and just added colour in my furnishings.

If I didn't have plans for the 4th Bedroom I would be interested in a similar change. I quite like the Shoal floorplan but it is more than I can afford. Fairhaven Homes - Clovelly 191 Re: First Home - Fairhaven Homes - Tender 15Mar 17, 2018 6:50 pm I'm nearly at tender which is exciting and scary at the same time. I need to follow up with my broker and Fairhaven to book my tender appointment. Still trying to save more money to cover extras and upgrades. I'm lucky that I don't have particularly expensive taste.

Hey, We are building with Fairhaven too. We have our colour appointment in 3 weeks and I was just wondering (if you don't mind me asking) how much the floor upgrade to the Mondo Scotch Oak Rustic (cat 2) was? I absolutely LOVE the color and hoping its not to much. Thanks so much Courtney x Re: First Home - Fairhaven Homes - Tender 18Mar 21, 2018 2:23 pm icat2000 Thats what I thought. But I was like want this and that. etc haha. But you can rein it in. I had to do some pruning. I will most likely have to do a little pruning but better to put it all in and then remove later.

For our 19 sq house the upgrade cost around $195. Colour selection was heaps of fun and their standard options were reasonable and I didn't find the upgrades to be that expensive (I'm not particularly fussy and keep reminding myself that this is my first home). My biggest change was for the bricks as I wanted a grey colour brick. For my house, the cost was around $1400 for cat 7 and $400 for off white mortar.
