In hindsight I wish I had it done. It wasn't offered or mentioned as something to consider.

Re: Beaumont Hills Custom Build - Brick Stage 47Aug 09, 2015 5:50 pm I asked about sealing the grout and was shown the recommended product. They sell it at adorn- I can't remember the price but it was not outrageous and something we definitely plan to do before moving in. We are also going to seal garage floor. 11/11/13- dep paid 4/4/14- settlement Feb '15- DA app 6/8/15- CC site works begin 19/8/15- Formwork 25/8/15- slab 3/9/15- elect. appt 13/10/15 - frame started 19/10- bricks started 31/10 - roof done Re: Beaumont Hills Custom Build - Brick Stage 48Aug 09, 2015 8:54 pm Speaking of garage floor, I wanted a similar one as what you did with yours having it painted, maximus. I asked my SS if I can upgrade on that and he just told me that it saves me having it DIY. How much did it cost you to have it painted? Re: Beaumont Hills Custom Build - Roof done! 49Aug 09, 2015 11:04 pm That was $825 and done as part of my contract. To do it yourself - probably around $300 if you don't have everything below: - paving paint perhaps $100 - high-pressure cleaner - maybe $30 for an attachment on your hose - garden blower/vac - maybe $50 for a basic one on a cord - rollers and a long handle, paint trays - perhaps $50 - masking tape and brushes - for edges - perhaps $20 - concrete filler and spatula - perhaps $20 - whatever your time is worth ( 1 - 2 hrs for the trip to the hardware store ) ( 2 hrs for washing floor of garage and sweeping water out ) ( 10 minutes for air blower ) ( 30 minutes for filling any holes or cracks in concrete ) ( 2 coats ), 2 hrs per coat ( allowing for doing vertical edges of slab with a brush or small roller ) ( cleanup of painting equipment - 30 minutes per coat ) Easily spend a minimum of 8 hrs doing all the above.

Thanks, I'll do a research on that post-completion. My "Post-completion" list is piling up. I have a few regrets now, where I could have included upgrades in the tender. Re: Beaumont Hills Custom Build - Roof done! 52Aug 14, 2015 2:04 pm only if we ever build again. Can't imagine going through the stress again. I missed a lot of things as well, some were interpretation of the sales talk and what is in the contract. 18/03/15 Deposit 02/09/15 CDC 22/09/15 Slab 05/12/15 Frames 15/12/15 Brick started. 11/04/16 Roof start 04/05/16 Roof finish 09/07/16 Gyprock.

Re: Beaumont Hills Custom Build - Roof done! 54Aug 31, 2015 7:56 pm Sorry hasnt updated for a while. Went for a short holiday and other things on my plate aside from the stress of building. Anyway, facade is taking shape now with the renders. Builder had a bit of hard time with the modern structuring so it took them a bit of time.

Re: Beaumont Hills Custom Build - Roof done! 56Sep 03, 2015 3:10 pm Yes this one is upstairs. Full corner window. Apparently they had to have it custom made so took time to have it delivered in the site Re: Beaumont Hills Custom Build - Roof done! 57Sep 05, 2015 10:01 am I really wanted this, but did not think about it until it was too late.
