Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Coral Homes No Caesarstone 3Oct 21, 2019 5:24 pm We opted not to have stone benchtops in the build before our most recent one and planned to get it later. Well, we never got around to it and I always regretted it. And when we were selling, potential buyers were commenting on us not having stone. Re: Coral Homes No Caesarstone 4Oct 21, 2019 7:08 pm Brayton Has anyone built with coral homes and chosen not to have caesarstone benches and vanities? We are trying to cut as much costs as possible so we can get the biggest house for our budget. We were hopinv we could add it later and just have laminate for now but not sure if it is something coral do. If you have done it how much has it saved? Hi Brayton, Is there anything else you can cut out? Downgrade appliances? Maybe delete the rendering off the facade. Not having the stone in the wet areas isn't the end of the world but like everything laminate tops don't like water or heat from hair straighteners. they can be done later on it just cost more than plugging a new oven in. there's the plumber, stone people, silicone people then the plumber again. All we would suggest is doing your homework.
