Re: New home build - Custom Design WA 97Oct 05, 2019 12:38 pm That games room will be a lovely space, with the light coming in from both sides. Re: New home build - Custom Design WA 99Oct 06, 2019 6:08 pm Hi Amilelka, I agree with the natural light...actually your whole house should have plenty of it looking at the build so far. I notice you have a number of large sliding doors. What style/type are you using? I'm assuming they're mostly multi-panel opening doors? We have just one in our place, and it's an aluminium 3.6m wide, with 3 panels (2 fixed and 1 opening). Looking at these larger doors it seems to make the flyscreens more technical challenging. But I guess if we went with say french doors, then it is more difficult to leave the cracked open for airflow (with flyscreens in use)? Also how have you found your builder so far? We are close to handover and to be honest a bit disappointed with our builder overall. They are local and smaller, I think doing around 30 houses per year. Our design is a heavily customised version of one of their plans. I think I expected them to be more flexible and offer a more personalised service. Most of their trades have been fairly good though. How far do you think are from handover? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Check our Homeone build blog here Re: New home build - Custom Design WA 100Oct 06, 2019 8:58 pm We are using a combination of residential and commercial sliding doors. The games room has 2.4m high residential sliders which will have sliding fly screens. In the family and dining rooms the doors are commercial and go all the way to the ceiling. They will be 4 panels each with 2 panels opening in the middle. If we want to put fly screens on these then we will need to add some sort of retractable screen after handover as they are not included. We have been told that the dining room doors will be very heavy to open as the glass panels are each 1.5x3m in size. We have been told to expect handover in February. We are slightly behind schedule due to delays with our eaves but the trades booked moving forward seem to be compensating for this. So far we haven't encountered any major issues and the small ones have been taken care of without any fuss. ideal house depends on the site and location as much as internal floor plan....what is the distance from the house to all four boundaries, where is north, describe your… 3 15142 6 55311 So it looks like we finally have some movement on site!
