Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Our first Home :) the Sahara Q1 11Jun 29, 2013 5:05 pm RussnDana rangi83 we are building in south east Melbourne. We code the same color laminate in the kitchen but went all gloss. Don't have the paperwork but I think it WS. 600-800 for the study. We wanted to be able to close the theater room to avoid noise flow upstairs, insulation to internal walls as well. I also got a tap for the frodge but I asked it to be put in the cupboard above the fridge that we are adding as the depth for the fridge is not huge and I didnt want the tap to decrease the depth even further. We are also doing our own flooring and have asked for skorings to be left off downstairs so we don't need to get quad added to our flooring. Broadway facade. One big point worth noting is if you are increasing the height of your stacker doors then make sure they raise the windows to match the head height. Did you upgrade the insulation? I didn’t even know that could be done. Do they have options for doors at the colour appointment for the theatre? Does it cost much. My husband was going to ask them to leave the skirtings off. I didn’t think they would agree. So stacker doors…. We got the higher ceiling on the bottom floor so then… of course the doors won’t be standard like the display (damn I didn’t even think of that) and the windows. Makes me wonder would they have told me this at the tender? The doors and windows didn’t even cross my mind Just more to add to my list. LOL Can you go through all of this at tender or colour selection or is it best to let them know before?? Sorry for all the question Re: Our first Home :) the Sahara Q1 12Jun 29, 2013 7:39 pm Questions are no problem happy to help sometimes good to bounce ideas off each other especially since we are building the same home. We don't need to pay for upgraded insulation due to the orientation of the block he had to pay 830 for upgrades to meet a 6 star energy rating. At tender they told us this would be a change to external wall batts now at 2.5 and ceiling and garage batts to 6. In regards to the doors you can chose the style at cosham but depends on the kind you want I.e. cavity or not. Other than that any changes need to happen via your administrstor , hopefully yours will be more cluey than mine!! We did not touch the dowbsrair ceiling height it will be the standard 2590. Re: Our first Home :) the Sahara Q1 14Jun 29, 2013 8:27 pm rangi83 no worries happy to help, just to let you know you can tell them at cosham in their colour appointment that you dont want the skirting and specify the areas you dont want it. Can I ask if you are going to use an independent inspector? If so can you PM me the details we are on the hunt for one. Anyone else reading this? If there is?? PM me an inspector if you know a good one please. Re: Our first Home :) the Sahara Q1 17Jul 04, 2013 12:30 pm Rangi, im building the lexington belle q2 in the northern suburbs.
