Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Clarendon Homes | QLD | Sheridan 41 61Mar 16, 2019 10:46 am It looks really good - I love the way the windows and roof really pop, even without any walls. We hopefully had our wrap done this week, and first fix is all booked for next week, with bricks the week after. You'll really fly ahead of us at that stage - I believe hebel is super quick to install compared to brick Re: Clarendon Homes | QLD | Sheridan 41 62Mar 19, 2019 7:35 pm Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Today they put the hebel up all around the lower floor. They still need to wall wrap upper floor before continuing hebel up one side. So yes, hebel is much quicker than bricks. I like the finish around the windows and doors.

Still, the 2 weeks or so of brick laying will pass pretty quickly. Great progress though - you'll have plaster up in no time!

Having never seen hebel up close before I found it super interesting to take a look at, and yep, super impressed at the speed they can put it up. It will be exciting once we're up to next stage of all the internals being done. Re: Clarendon Homes | Sheridan 41 65Mar 28, 2019 11:53 pm TiredHalo Pricing from Clarendon:
Hello TiredHalo, I have been following your thred and I am actually thinking about building MAdison 35 in Brisbane western suburb. Good to see someone doing Hebel here. How do you like it? I like Hebel as it's a good insulator of sound and externally, its rendered. What is Diamond Kitchen? What is included in it? Good luck with the rest of your build.

They kind of defaulted us to Hebel as we needed render for our covenant. kingtaco is building a Madison 35 out at Thornlands. So his thread might also be worth a visit.

Thanks so mu TiredHalo for your inputs. Who is your sales rep if I may ask? I have noticed that the prices have up in a matter of few months from the time you signed to now? Pricing on Hebel is $13,000 + and the Diamond kitchen is $18,000+. I believe they have discounted $25,000 but they are making it back in other areas. Good luck with the rest of you build.

Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Our construction update from the SS is that insulation will be installed after the Easter break, with internal plastering to commence the week after. The renderers will also return now the scaffolding is out of the way. They also do a site clean soon as well. Really like how the colours are turning out. Re: Clarendon Homes | QLD | Sheridan 41 69Apr 24, 2019 1:27 pm Those colours upstairs look fantastic! Are they how you imagined? Looking forward to seeing the downstairs finished Re: Clarendon Homes | QLD | Sheridan 41 70Apr 28, 2019 7:06 am KingTaco Those colours upstairs look fantastic! Are they how you imagined? Looking forward to seeing the downstairs finished Yeah, the monument looks good. At one point we started to think it may end up too dark, but nope, looks good. I was hoping it would get painted as well, but they've only done the render so far. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Also appears that on Friday they did the internal insulation install. Could see the ceiling & wall insulation through the windows. They should be doing the plaster this coming week.

Would I be right in saying that's the kitchen back wall/fridge recess into your WIP? The waiting is a little frustrating hey, along with the flowchart not exactly being in order or particularly detailed Re: Clarendon Homes | QLD | Sheridan 41 73May 09, 2019 7:32 pm KingTaco Looking good! Would I be right in saying that's the kitchen back wall/fridge recess into your WIP? The waiting is a little frustrating hey, along with the flowchart not exactly being in order or particularly detailed Haha yes, that is the kitchen with fridge recess and walkway into the WIP. Yeah we were waiting on an invoice as well, so we'll just go with whatever flow they think works. Re: Clarendon Homes | QLD | Sheridan 41 74May 24, 2019 7:02 pm Last week the stairs were installed, and this week has the doors and architraves/skirting all installed. So we're now all locked up. Next week on the Monday & Tuesday will be the cabinetry install, starting with the kitchen. Tiling should also start shortly as well. Re: Clarendon Homes | QLD | Sheridan 41 76May 31, 2019 6:17 am Hi Rhani89, the tiling has commenced yesterday, so once they get to the main floors I'll definitely get a photo for you. So far they've started the floor tiling in the wet areas and outside. Partner was over there yesterday morning to talk to the tiler, so got a few photos. Entry.
