Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Our build with Celebration Homes 84Feb 06, 2014 11:52 am Would prob be counted as structural (well my builder would have said it was being a wall) Re: Our build with Celebration Homes 86Feb 06, 2014 5:16 pm Hi Will, No, it is a double brick wall, the rest of the house is single but because I wanted a niche they bricked in extra in the ensuite. Re: Our build with Celebration Homes 88Feb 07, 2014 12:39 am Hi Rubes Yeah, we have already signed our PWC, it was really rush. Our titles came through on our land the same week we put it on hold so we had to rush through all of that to get our building contract ready for settlement in order to avoid paying stamp duty on the land as a FHB. My partner and I have quite different taste. i want a light/white looking house and he wants jarrah/dark looking house so we really need to put in the work to find a happy medium before prestart haha. We were able to add a fair bit in before we signed our PWC but we were signed on 23rd Dec so skeleton crew meant some cost weren't accessible that day. Thanks for the info at least we now know it should be in the affordable range. Re: Our build with Celebration Homes 89Feb 17, 2014 6:10 pm Well, we have our keys!! We had our PCI on the 13th and there were only some very minor items that needed repairing, so they were fixed that afternoon and we were able to collect our keys on Valentines Day! We are so happy with Celebration, they have been fantastic to us. Now we have to get the walls painted, floors laid, blinds installed and the list goes on and on so I will keep updating with pictures as things happen Re: Our build with Celebration Homes 90Feb 17, 2014 6:30 pm Rubes Now we have to get the walls painted, floors laid, blinds installed and the list goes on and on so I will keep updating with pictures as things happen That's awesome! Are you getting them done in a particular order? I'll be doing the same after handover, so was curious Also how early in the build did you have to schedule in all those other trades? Or are you just doing it now. Re: Our build with Celebration Homes 91Feb 17, 2014 6:32 pm Hey Fitzy We are just scheduling the trades in now. It was hard because we didn't have a definite handover date and we weren't expecting to get the keys the day after PCI! We are painting first, then getting the floors laid, then everything else as soon as we can get it done.

Stunning! My build: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=68002 Re: Our build with Celebration Homes 100Mar 05, 2014 12:53 pm Hi Everyone Thought I would post a bit of an update, we have now painted the house. Here are some pics, the colour looks a little bit yellow in the photos but in person its quite a nice neutral that is somewhere in between grey and beige, but not too much of either tone.

You can see there is a gap between the garage door and the pelmet, Centurion installed a 200mm pelmet instead of a 250mm pelmet so we are waiting for the new pelmet to come and be installed Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Also, I have sealed our grout in the splashback with Grout Perfect's colour sealer in Bright White. I can sometimes be a bit pedantic and I didn't want my nice white splashback to have discoloured grout so I decided to do it right away. I really wish I took before and after photos - even on brand new grout the difference is amazing and it makes the splashback look even cleaner and shinier. I am one very happy customer! So now we have ordered our flooring and we are waiting on that to come in and be installed, I am hoping it will be done within the next two weeks. Then we will be getting an electrician out to install our aircon, downlights, pendant lights and front wall lights. Also during all of that we will be doing our retic and landscaping as well - I have some ideas for the garden but haven't quite decided on a full layout yet. The beauty of living in a new estate is there are a lot of lovely new gardens to take inspiration from! of course there are legal avenues. You've already mentioned it. Sue them. I find it odd that lawyers wouldnt be willing to take on the case, given CCT evidence and… 1 24594 Thank you so much everyone. This all makes a lot of sense. I guess when you talk to a builder who butters up everything to look very polished, you get to start believing… 7 19866 3 51859 |
