Build Thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=57639 Re: Brisbane build with Steve Parcell - roof on 49Feb 17, 2015 10:52 am Meerkat Hi guys & OP - saw this thread about Steve Parcel & had to join the board!! my wife & are looking to build a 2 storey home on a sloping block & steve parcel is one of our options lots of positive reviews for them so far after walking through show home city @ Rochedale we are concerned that the inside finish of the home will not be as flashy as some of the show homes (obvious statement i guess - but still a worry to know what you will actually get) OP - did you have to "upscale" many things to get a "show home style" house? are there any things you would recommend upscaling? kitchens/bathrooms? windows? thnks heaps I didn't like Steve's Rochedale house at all either, way too industrial. As far as "show homes" go the likes of Metricon, Plantation etc always impress because they must hire very good decorator's. What they don't like to tell you though is their display homes are $200k+ over the base price.

Hey Plucka - your split level looks great - hope whatever we end up looks like that! yeah i hear you about the show homes - absolutely know for sure that they aren't standard trying to get an a salesperson(sic) to tell you whats actually included is palm reading at its best i don't mind parts of the industrial look @ steve parcel rochedale - too much though makes it feel cold Re: Brisbane build with Steve Parcell - roof on 51Feb 17, 2015 3:37 pm Hey Plucka - no need for me to check out your thread as I reckon I know it inside out. Must have read through it at least half a dozen times when we were thinking of signing with Steve! You're right that there are a number of similarities with our builds, and you'll probably notice even more as ours progresses - rendered brick; weatherboard cladding; timber deck; bamboo floors etc. So glad you posted those landscaping pictures - you've done an incredible job. Good luck with your next project. We're building in Middle Park by the way. And don't worry about the questions Meerkat. I remember what it was like when we were starting out on the building process so keep them coming if it helps. Re: Brisbane build with Steve Parcell - roof on 52Feb 18, 2015 11:19 am Haha glad my build provided some inspiration for you. Yeah you won't be disappointed with bamboo flooring, comes up really nice. Middle Park is a nice area, we're looking a Corinda so just around the corner from you. Build Thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=57639 Re: Brisbane build with Steve Parcell - sheeting & bricks 53Feb 26, 2015 9:23 am A quick update on progress at our place: ceilings & walls have all been sheeted internally... and bricking & cladding has commenced... The garage door is to be fitted within the next week so we should be at lock up stage very shortly. We're off on holiday now for three weeks so will miss out on seeing the daily progress. No doubt though that the place will look significantly different on our return! Re: Brisbane build with Steve Parcell - sheeting & bricks 55Feb 26, 2015 4:15 pm oh wow!! that looks amazing (I'd say amazeballs but that just sounds so teeny boppy!) we were at lock up once the doors got added -- the garage door is yet to come. A holiday for 3 weeks will be amazing and I'm sure when you get back you'll be so closed to being finished, it'll be like getting a present! Re: Brisbane build with Steve Parcell - sheeting & bricks 56Mar 07, 2015 11:20 pm Hi, we also recently completed a build with steve parcell on a sloping block. Very happy with them and would recommend / build with them again. The team from initial contract (Garry at Rochedale) to the colour selection (Julie is awesome) and the contractors eg kitchen / tiler plus site supervisor are all fantastic to deal with and you meet them all face to face. Very happy with service and our new home. Re: Brisbane build with Steve Parcell - Lock up 57Mar 20, 2015 9:58 pm Well alot has happened in the three weeks we were away, so a few extra photos this time. Brickwork & rendering is finished, and solar panels installed... Garage door fitted, so we're now locked up... Kitchen units fitted and all ceilings painted... Waterproofing done... Laundry fitted out... Deck balustrading up ... So happy with how things are progressing. Additional bit of good news is that the golf course have agreed to trim a number of their trees back which will improve our outlook a bit... Painters say they should have the inside & outside finished next week. Tiles have been delivered for the wet areas. We're hoping another six weeks or so should see us pretty close to being finished. Pleased to hear you had a good build EEN1973. I agree with all your comments so far. Getting to meet all the trades is definitely a bonus and helps keep things running smoothly, and the communication with every one of the Parcell staff has been faultless. Hope we end up as happy as you obviously are. Re: Brisbane build with Steve Parcell - Lock up 58Mar 20, 2015 10:09 pm Wow, looks great, glad their trimming those trees for you. What wood for the deck and glass on the balustrade or ss wire? Beautiful outlook Custom build Northern NSW viewtopic.php?f=31&t=72217 Re: Brisbane build with Steve Parcell - Lock up 59Mar 20, 2015 10:22 pm Looks great brolga, what a peaceful outlook! We went with a volume builder in an existing estate for our build because it's not only our first build but our first home, but we will definitely be looking at a custom build next time (I don't have a slab yet and already thinking about next time!). Your builder sounds fantastic, I'm glad you're having such a great experience.
