The last release was in August 2015. Last November I was told to expect the next release in February (this month), but I don't have a firm date. I have no information as to what changes may occur. Thanks 7th_Cavalry That's a very useful information. My plot number is not yet visible on the bushfire map. Boutique added about 5K bushfire provision. By looking at the map, I'm almost sure that my plot is out of bushfire zone. However I was told that they can take this provision out, once my plot number is visible on the map. Hopefully two more updates before the plot titling should clear it. Which suburb are you building Jeeman? For the rest, here is the link to the bushfire map zone (you can zoom in) or type the street and suburb of your land. http://services.land.vic.gov.au/maps/bushfire.jsp --------------------------------------------- Building a St. Tropez 25 - Boutique Homes Aurora Estate Wollert - Victoria Re: Boutique Homes 1715Feb 02, 2016 2:43 pm Peeps who have not started their build with Boutique - did your contract specify the number of coats for your internal paint? I was told 2 coats, BUT, I remember I read 3 coats somewhere. Here it is http://www.boutiquehomes.com.au/premium-inclusions Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ I sent an email for confirmation as otherwise, why upgrade to 3 coats when their website said it's standard? Re: Boutique Homes 1716Feb 02, 2016 3:38 pm This 3-coat paint is definitely new as I recall 2-coat as the standard "premium inclusion". It cost me $ 1,161.00 to triple coat a double-storey.

It cost me $ 1,161.00 to triple coat a double-storey. That's interesting! I just double checked my Pwc and building contract. At no point it said 2 coats is the standard, so hopefully I can argue that the 3 coats is the standard Re: Boutique Homes 1718Feb 02, 2016 3:53 pm The Addenda will contain the information under the section - PAINTER. There, it will state clearly the number of coats on the walls ceilings, cornices, doors, architraves, and skirting boards.

Just double checked mine and it said one undercoat and two top coats, hoorah!

It's a light timber when you in the show room have a look. Here is a pic of our flooring choices: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ For the internal wall we chose Parchment. For the room I went with the standard batten light. My logic was that the time spend in the room is mostly for sleeping and lamp shades give a nice ambience. The WIR will need good lighting. Your house is much bigger than mine and might need at least 6 - 8 downlights in the living area. I have my electrical plan on my blog. Oh and the cost of upgrading to a cat. 2 brick for our size home was around $760 and cat. 3 $1040. If you have time visit Austral brick in your area and check out samples there. They might give you addresses of homes in your area of bricks you like. This saved us heaps of time. https://letsbuildwithboutique.wordpress.com @johanna.ram really love your Rocky Oak timber flooring, do you know what brand it is? Love you plan too!
