I'm looking forward to getting to Prestart. I'd be interested in your costings when you get them.

We loved the Stoneleigh but it just didn't suit our block. Your colour selections look great. We had a similar experience with our plans and found that we were still amending aspects of our design at pre-start albeit having requested them numerous times previously. They were mostly internal changes, but also some window sizes and the like. I like the changes you're suggesting to the ensuite. Like Kelsey, we got lots of options costed at Prestart and Intelligent Homes and then picked and chose what we'd get the builder to do and what we'd do after. In general, besides for making provisions for future work (i.e. Conduits for speaker, lights, wall hung tv's etc), and upgrading inclusions (i.e. doors, taps etc.), we're doing a lot of work ourselves after (i.e. flooring, driveway, alresco paving etc). In our mind, the price difference didn't match the inconvenience of organising these things ourselves. Good luck next week! Re: Stoneleigh Build with Dale Alcock in Baldivis 31Feb 06, 2015 9:10 pm Kelsey78 The plan is looking great! I love what you have done with the master space and your idea of swapping the shower sounds perfect! Good luck for prestart, it was such a fun day for us! Just remember to get everything priced, even 2nd and 3rd choices as you never know what the up charge will be! Surprisingly most of there selection weren't too unreasonably marked up. It's when you ask for things that aren't in the showroom that you can get a shock! Thanks Kelsey! That is a really good reminder thank you I think we will be getting everything quoted, like you said you never know! And just discovered your building thread too, wow your home is looking great!

I think what you and Kelsey have said about getting everything quoted and going with what is easier for the builder to do rather than later is a really good idea. We have decided to do all flooring afterwards, exposed aggregate, painting as really like you say they really aren't too much of an inconvenience like the other things afterwards Re: Stoneleigh Build with Dale Alcock in Baldivis 33Feb 06, 2015 9:22 pm My partner and I are SOOO excited we put down a deposit for our flooring today!! There is a shortage of supply of this product in Oz so we thought we better secure it right away!!

Love the colours in that house and we've copied the under island cupboards along with the recessed cupboard in the living area. We'd love to go with flooring like that but are resigned to choosing a laminate. Hopefully something similar in colour! Looks great!

We'd love to go with flooring like that but are resigned to choosing a laminate. Hopefully something similar in colour! Looks great! I got the photos off the website through the flooring company but I am guessing it is one of their display homes. I was surprised that when we went for our colour consult that this flooring was not an option in their showroom when their displays are done in this.... their flooring options in the showroom are a prefinished engineered timber (not a raw engineered timber) which is the flooring used in the displays. Glad we picked up on this and probably prefer doing it after handover anyway. The cupboards and in the island will look fantastic.. they are such a lovely feature. There are so many laminates to chose from these days, I know you can get samples of this particular type of flooring so it may be worth looking into to help match up the laminate as close as possible Re: Stoneleigh Build with Dale Alcock in Baldivis 36Feb 07, 2015 12:08 am Your floors will be absolutely stunning. Love the Big River Spotted gum! Loving all your plans for Prestart too! Hubby really wanted tv outside but couldn't find enough wall space on our alfresco as we extended the bifold window size. House is going to be great! Re: Stoneleigh Build with Dale Alcock in Baldivis 37Feb 07, 2015 12:43 am I Love Big River Spotted Gum so much!! It was my preference but the OH one this one, we have gone with Big River Blackbutt, I haven't seen the Big River Blackbutt except for the sample at BJ's timbers. I'm hoping I will love it as much as Spotted Gum.

I was sure when we were at pre start we had Big River as an option. Had to go back and check the addenda, luckily we do have Big River... phew!! DAH must have changed their supplier. We noticed when going into the showroom recently they don't use Caroma anymore, its amazing how much can change in 8 months!

Hi Kelsey, I think what jelbel meant was the Big River available at prestart is a pre-finished timber whilst what they don't tell you is the Big River in their displays is a raw product which gets finished (ie: satin or gloss applied on site) - I also found this out after some research.

Ohhhh! That makes me nervous then. We asked at prestart and where assured it was the same as what was in the display homes! Only time will tell I guess. |
