Hi lisalent, yeah I can't wait to finish work today and take some photos. It's great that Coral are back to work, this forum is starting to take off again,it was very quiet over Christmas,Julie

welcome back everybody from the holidays

hope everyone had a nice relaxing one.

We went and saw our house on Wednesday and they had started some small things like finally installing our main bathroom window

and also the frame for the bath had been installed as well

The view out the big awning window is actually a bit boring so we were thinking possibly installing some deco screens along the high wooden fence outside the window for privacy and something nice to look at while having a bath.

Has any one installed deco screens anywhere on their land or house?

Going to see the house tomorrow so can't wait for any progress. We are still waiting for the support to be built under the frame that is over hanging the slab.

Well there has been a fair bit of work since Wednesday with more bricking and a meeting with the electrician on Tuesday

Pics in thread.

My husband got better ones,I try and post them. We also ordered our pendants for for about our kitchen bench,and bedrooms 2,3,4 & the activity room,slowly getting there. We were looking at TV's,we would like an 85inch TV, we are having a 200cm wide x120cm high cutout so we can have the TV recessed,can anyone recommend a TV. Thanks Julie

Looking good Julie.

For TV's you can't go wrong with a Samsung or Sony.
If your movie buffs and have the cash (and understand what you are getting into) you can go larger with a projector. I'd suggest talking to someone who installs them though if your not sure (such as Videopro).

Hi Coral builders! I am just wondering whether anyone has upgraded from the standard ceaserstone selection to the upgraded colours. I am looking at the Calcutta Nuvo (which is the marbley looking one), and I am hoping to have that bench about 2m long and 600mm thick, with an additional side bench in another colour at 40mm thick. I don't want to get my heart set on it if it is achievable. Does anyone know ballpark costs for this?

Thanks whzzz28, we both really like the sony 85 inch( it retails at $19,999)we're waiting on a price from JB hifi and Harvey Norman, hopefully they can give us a slight discount, we love our movies,we want to have a real cinema feel, I can't wait. We thought about a projector,but we prefer the look of a big TV. I wish it would stop raining,it looks like our slab will be delayed again. Julie

Hi all fellow coral builders. We are building a Miami in Harrington Grove (south west sydney). Currently at fix out stage.

Hi memyselfandi! We are also thinking of building the Miami! How have you found coral to date? Do you have any photos of your progress so far? Did you run with the standard plans or did you make modifications?

memyselfandi · Jan 11, 2015 8:45 pm

Hi MrsJM
I have to admit that we have encountered some problems with our build due to the lack of supervision. We are now on to our fourth site supervisor. Unfortunately these issues have also delayed our build. In saying this our new site supervisor has picked up the pace. We pretty much stuck to the standard plan but extended the alfresco and changed some window sizes.
We love the floor plan! I do have some photos heres hoping they will load Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ This one unfortunately has wrong colour on facade which is yet to be fixed.

Welcome memyselfandi,if you have anymore photos I'd love to see them. We're building the Marcoola 32 at Oran Park,not far from you,we probably have the same SS. When did your build start. Julie

jul33m1 · Jan 11, 2015 9:36 pm

Hi MrsJM, I'm sure if you check with your sales consultant they could give you the price for
your stone Benchtop,where are you building? Julie

jul33m1 · Jan 11, 2015 9:39 pm

memyselfandi ,could you please share some of the problems that you had,so I know what to look out for,thanks Julie

memyselfandi · Jan 11, 2015 9:56 pm

Hi Julie the Marcoola is a great design as well. Our build started Apr last year

Really disappointing we should of been in before Xmas. It shouldnt be too long now. I suggest just checking things as they go along. We got an independant building inspector to check the build and Coral are rectifying the problems.

Yes I should probably ask her. I just feel like I've been a pain in the butt and that she's probably sick of me by now haha.

Great pics memyselfandi! You have a lovely view too!

Hi memyselfandi,we're getting Howard Ryan to inspect at frame and PCI,he's been in the business for years and works with his sons,hopefully we won't have any major problems. Wow,April last year,that's a long time,
I hope your in soon,my husband and I will definitely be watching every step of the way. Our SS and construction manager are brothers,they both seem to know what their doing,I hope that they don't change.
If there's anything major you think I should watch out for you can send me a private message. Post as many pics as you like,everyone here loves pictures! Julie
