I am about to buy a block @ Augustine heights in Stage 5B. Hi, no I am building at Peregian Springs on the Sunshine Coast .... but I think there may be others building in that subdivision. Contract Signed and Colours appointment Complete! 17Sep 07, 2013 9:28 pm We had a very successful day in Brisbane on Friday and signed our contract and picked all our colours and fittings. We had a pretty clear idea of the look we wanted and luckily my hubby and I have similar tastes, so it wasn't too painful! We have gone with very neutral colours and will bring in some bold colours into our artwork and styling. So here is what what we have chosen: Main Tiling (Kitchen, Family, Dining, Hallway, bathroom, office, kids retreat, entrance way and laundry: Euphoria Latte Gloss Wall Colour (throughout) Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Grand Piano (looks more grey on the screen but is quite a warm neutral colour - see below room sample) Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Kitchen Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Express Ligna Silk Finish for Kitchen Cabinetry Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Glass Splash Back; Landrover White Gold (which is actually more silver) Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Polar Quantum Quartz for Bench top Main Bathroom Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Wall Tile: Almond Gloss Floor Tile: Euphoria Latte Gloss Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Bath Hobb and Feature Mosaic for Shower: Gloss Mocha (is more chocolate than shown) Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Vanity Top: Polar Quantum Quartz Ensuite Floor Tile; Vibe Latte Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Wall Tile: Almond Gloss Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Shower & Vanity Mosaic: Pax Chocolate Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Vanity Top: Polar Quantum Quartz Carpet (Bedrooms & Media) Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Redesigned Retreat Q2 Home 19Sep 10, 2013 2:07 pm How exciting Tans!! I wish we were moving along as fast as you are! The plans are looking good, what a lovely wide entry you have. We had to steal a little space (20cm each!) off both our front bedrooms to make our entry 2m wide because I think it has just such a good impact! Yours will be awesome. What happens now for you? How long have they advised is the wait between signing the contract and slab down (council approval and all that)? Also, it didn't seem to be long between your tender signing and your contract appointment? How long was it? I thought it was supposed to be around a month or so?

Yes, I hope that the entrance will look good - we have got a lovely pivot door we have chosen rather than the standard with side windows. It's all coming along nice and quick at the moment. It was about 3 weeks between the Tender and Contract appointment. We had a good page and a half of changes, but nothing too major. Everything is meant to be going to Council within the week or so of contract signing - so should be just about there now. They told me that some approvals are coming back in 3 weeks!!! ..... lets hope that it ours!! From there, they said it would take a couple of weeks to do the allocation of materials and assign a supervisor and then it should be all go! So best case scenario in about 6 weeks. I won't get my hopes up just in case We have just got back our Developer approval so that is good. They did say that Developers can hold things up - so pleased it wasn't a long process there. We have also had to do a Build over Sewer application to Unity Water as we are building within 1.5 metres of the 3 metre sewer easement! (why they just don't make the sewer easement 4.5 metres I do not know )) so now,we just have to sit tight and wait for Council ..... oh yes and our formal bank approval! Will need to make a decision on our appliances too soon. I think I mentioned we deleted them from our contract and will source our own.
