Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Coral Homes - Marcoola 32 modified 16Sep 22, 2018 7:05 pm GarethB Same here i was hoping to just get the bare basics run with them so it saved me the time in running down walls etc, most of my cables will go to WAP & POE cameras so they are an easy one but i just hate running down the walls if i can avoid it. HAHA I am building in Hervey Bay. Yes my wife realized we had seen you at the Coral colour selections showroom on Thursday! She scours these forums for Coral builds and had already seen your posts. All the best with the build...we shall follow with interest Re: Coral Homes - Marcoola 32 modified 17Sep 30, 2018 3:31 pm Santo65 Main theme for internal: Internal colourOsprey stone was an upgrade, about an additional $600 throughout the house.

Hard to go too far wrong with neutrals I guess but we just like 'em With the carpet we almost just went for the builders range thinking we'd wear it out and replace it in a few years. It's a strategy that some people use I'm sure and it's a reasonable one. However at CarpetCourt we came across a couple of carpets that we loved. The two tone of the cut pile twist, the lush feel and the promise of hard wearing/stain resistant solution dyed nylon had us drooling. So we we thought we'd check it out at colour selection and see what the damage would be. We already made a $3000 allowance in our budget as it was high on the wish list. Although they didn't have the exact carpet we showed them, we found this one in the platinum range that was virtually identical. So bottom line it is platinum range (sorry!) but considering we have about 80m2 to carpet the extra cost (we have one of the flooring/aircon packages) was $3800. Because of the thickness of the carpet we were able to stick with the standard underlay. We're definitely going to be doing the "star fish" on this carpet in the media room when we finally get in there!

Might be next time though 😉. Don't forget to post the Starfish carpet picture after you move in. Re: Coral Homes - Marcoola 32 modified 20Oct 02, 2018 9:41 am Hi Santo, Nice to see another SC neighbour there are a few of us in here building in the estate. I love your plans and very jealous of your 3 car garage. It’s something we really wanted, but by the time we bought our block there were only 3 left (other than acreage) so unfortunately nothing was wide enough. So many houses being built now. I look forward to seeing your progress. :-D Modified Miami 31- Brighton Homes https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=91265&f=31&p=1789112#p1789112 Ask the council if there is a chance of getting build over easement exemption. Sometimes easements are unused and 24cm is not all that much. Good luck. And yes any builder… 2 13723 In Qld it is a requirement that a builder must have a cost breakdown, for building a home to the same specification, with the same inclusions and the same finish.
