Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 8210Jun 04, 2015 9:06 pm Hi everyone! So excited that everyone is in construction! A few away from potentially starting construction (fingers and toes crossed!) Seeing that most of you have started construction in Oran Park.. I thought it would wise to ask if you guys would help me understand something before we lodge into CDC with my plans... There is an obvious step down on the ground works of the proposed plans I've received (pix below) is there a reason why the design isn't flat? On one side there is a significant change in gradient as well.. Wouldn't it be obvious to just cut and fill the section where it steps down? Any suggestions for a possible alternative option if it can't be helped?

The solid black line is the building platform which will form after cut-and-fill and on which your house will sit. Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 8213Jun 04, 2015 9:25 pm We r using superior... Will post in a months time.. For what I wanted they were very well priced! Internal fitouts for wardrobes are between 350-650.. With installation.. Clarendon quoted his n her wardrobe for $16k!!!! Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 8214Jun 04, 2015 9:46 pm For wardrobes, laundry, kitchen cabinets etc. try Choice wardrobes as well. We have used them in our previous home and now in the new one as well. Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 8215Jun 04, 2015 10:24 pm Sydney-build keep us posted on any issues you find in the house. I agree - is like a hotel. Took me a good couple of weeks to sleep well. Our landscaping is nearly finished and I actually parked my car on the driveway tonight - so sad that I get so excited. I am a floorboard lover but after doing tiles (due to a very persistent husband) I have been converted. So easy to maintain and clean. No scratches to worry about - absolutely loving them. I would just make sure you get Matt not gloss as they show up every mark. A couple of photos on my plants - not to exciting Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Built a Fairmont 35 in Pennant Hills. Completed May 2015. http://www.pennodream.wordpress.com - Blog updated regularly Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 8217Jun 04, 2015 11:37 pm Well we finally have handover set for 16 June. This is 10 months since the contact was signed. Really didn't think it would take so long but guess it can take even longer. Wishing I understood more before this all began. Today I picked up being double charged, so watch the bills closely. And now all our work begins.. driveway, tile, carpet, blinds, etc. still to go. All the people we worked with at Clarendon are super nice, but wow this is not an easy process! How good is good enough on the tiling job? There are a few lips, not as level as I would accept. Any thoughts? Also wondering how picky to be on the ceiling line above the front door being level. Think we should be getting it redone, but not sure if it is a fair complaint? Did anyone in Qld get their own inspection service?

What company did you use for your butlers pantry? Are you satisfied with their work? The one that I initially finalised has done a runner so urgently in need of someone good. Thanks.

Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 8219Jun 05, 2015 8:04 am For our butlers pantry we used Diamond Marble & Granite. http://www.diamondgranite.com.au/ They do everything... polyurethane, polytec, stone benchtops, glass splashbacks etc Choice Wardrobes may also do cabinetry, but they dont do stone benchtops. Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 8220Jun 05, 2015 8:11 am Did anyone (in NSW) get any concreting done through Clarendon? Like driveways and down the side of their house? the stair balustrades? There is nothing special about these and I imagine literally every stair installer will be able to do this. 1 6712 The two 15mm holes are obviously not compliant.
