Haha we had satin handles for all but two handles where 2 were chrome. Not sure how that happens. Oh well. So it's all down to the bank now! The CBA said it takes 5-7 business days to process paperwork then they need to send out someone to check on the house and then 2 days for funds to be released! So going to be tight to get the keys by the 19th!!! Fingers crossed Re: Anyone building with Homebuyers Centre in VICTORIA? 1932Dec 12, 2014 4:44 pm Yay! Just got told that we can pick up our keys when ever we want! There is still a few paint touch ups to do, so we are picking up the keys next Thursday Can't wait!

Blog: http://dandesbuild.blogspot.com.au Re: Anyone building with Homebuyers Centre in VICTORIA? 1939Dec 19, 2014 3:35 pm Ashman25 So close.... Has anyone had issues with splash back colours? We selected the colour 'Purple Empire' for our splash back and took photos of our selections at the time. What has been installed is not the same colour, it is darker and changes our kitchen completely. HBC and their suppliers are adamant that the splash back installed is 'Purple Empire' and even sent me a photo of the sample in the HBC showroom. The photo they have sent me is the same as what was installed, however it is not the same as the photo we took we took at the selections appointment. We took a photo of the front and back, the label on the back says the sample we saw was 'Purple Empire' so we really are in a position not knowing what to do. Below is the comparison, left is what they have said is in the showroom, right is what we saw. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Does anyone else have the 'Purple Empire' splash back??

I hope we give you a good 97 page read- you might find some very useful info Mrssilverbeetle- in regards to your questions about the floors- I recommend outsourcing if this is an option for you. I have been in my house for 7 months and I still have dramas with the laminate flooring. It is not practical at all. Our windows were slightly leaking on the inside while we were at work, from the seals. We called the builder about 1 month in after moving and he came and siliconed a frame. Our floors warped under the window and couch from that day we were at work and the rain trickled down on the inside. It was laughable that they just silliconed it...so we rang the window company as there is a warranty. They guy came out, was awesome and resealed all of our windows. So- check your windows. We will be ripping up the floor in years to come. I'm not a fan at all....to not be able to properly disinfect the floors is driving me nuts. None of the floor cleaner sprays for laminate have an antibacterial agent in them so its metho all the way here (in a spray bottle).
