Daydream 28 coral homes Sunshine Coast

Kemdie22 · Dec 14, 2015 9:19 pm

Hi everyone,

As with all of you, I have been stalking everyone's builds for the last 4 months and decided it was time to start my own and join in on all the fun! Thanks for unknowingly providing me with help.

We are building the daydream 28 on the Sunshine Coast. We purchased a 650msq block of land in August. We signed the tender last week and have been told that the contract will be ready to sign on the 13th January (damn xmas holidays).

We made the following minor changes to the plan:

- increased media by 800mm by moving garage forward
- changed family room windows to awning
- 40mm island bench
- under mount sink
- bulkhead to kitchen
- 2118 windows to the two front bedrooms changed to 3 panel awning windows
- fixed window to dining room
- changed ensuite to the same as perigian springs display
- sliding door off master room to patio
- sliding door off media to outside
- fixed panel glass to study so that both panels are joined with silicon (like perigian springs display)
- 0921 window to activity room
- upgrade to all internal doors

We chose to have the designer package and took the designer style upgrade and the higher ceiling promotion and the colorbond and steel frame promotion.

We will be doing the carpet, timber flooring and the driveway and patio concrete after handover.

Looking forward to the next few months. Not sure how long it will take with all this waiting for administrative processes; it will be worth it in the end though.

Signed our contract today. The front two bedroom windows were incorrect but a variation was put through. The estimated start date is 5/4/16. The build time on the contract is 141 days.

Hi guys! Where were you two last year? There were a bunch of Daydream 30 builders and no other 28s like me! We've now been living in our house for three months and we love it. The layout is perfect for our family (3 young boys) and there's rarely a day that goes past without me consciously thinking "I love my house!". We had some dramas at the end and with handover, but they're mostly settled now. Our build started in March, but it rained for the entire month of April last year so we didn't get a slab until May. We moved in during the October long weekend with a few outstanding items, but I was losing my mind living with the inlaws (quite literally - had a bit of a breakdown!) so I'm glad we moved in when we did. The Daydream design is so lovely. I hope your builds go well

Feel free to read through my thread if you want to see how things went for us. There's a link in my sig.

Euphoria white gloss textured for all floors
Euphoria cement gloss textured for the ensuite walls
Euphoria city grey laundry wall
Euphoria charcoal gloss textured for the main bathroom walls.

Coral provide the choice to go to beaumount or national tiles. Where we are located beaumount have a larger range so this is where we picked to go.

Nice! Our bathroom has euphoria city grey as our main wall tile and euphoria charcoal as the feature tile, they are a nice tile!

Does anyone know if I am able to change the configuration of the kitchen cupboards still or would it be too late?
