So jealous of your balcony off your master! I noticed you have 6 air con ducts upstairs... All we have is 2 air con voids... Did you upgrade your air con? Thank you. As far as the a/c goes I think that's what comes with it. We are not going through Coral though. Maybe you have less outlets because you have the void so they are not needed.

Not impressed. They didn't have the correct floorplan and we had to prove that we had a balcony and the tiles were included. Decided to go for 600x600 rectified floor tiles in main living areas but I don't understand why the two we liked 'lively grey' and 'aurora putty' differ in price (supply and laid) by $2500.

Pretty sure I remember lively grey as being a gold.... What is aurora putty? Both the same size and rectified... Shouldn't be different labour costs' they didn't have the right floor plans for us either. Aside from those hiccups are you happy with your selections?

They are very similar but 'Aurora Putty' has a slight organic mottle in it. Probably a bit more forgiving as far as marks are concerned. I'm not all that happy at this stage. We just went with plain stuff. Can't be bothered with details as much as I would have liked them. Too many to choose from and not enough time so brain ruled over heart. Because of the pricing we will be doing it ourselves directly through Beaumonts. Just not sure about the timing. Everything is starting to blow out. Demo has doubled. Flooring... Kitchen next...

You can request another tile appointment... Or you can just go and take your time and browse and then if and when you change your mind, they should vary your selections for you. I spent hours in Beaumont in the weeks before and after the tile appointment second guessing everything. I agree- too many choices and when you're trying to do every surface in a whole house it is very overwhelming. You'll save a bomb doing it yourself and you can get a tiler with references/work of mouth rather than Coral's choice! When you say your demo doubled... As in doubled in price? What happened?

Now we have to move out...luckily half of our stuff is still unpacked in boxes from when we first moved in That will make packing so much easier! One thing i am excited about is not having to pack next time when we move in to the house because everything is boxed! Woo! Good luck with your move. It's all getting real now!

Even with screening?? So worst case scenario what can the council make you change? Surely can't make you delete the whole alfresco can they?

It just cuts our views over the lake which is why we wanted the balcony there is the first place. Had a feeling though. We are not on talking terms. The neighbours on the other side built as well and had so much trouble with them. Cost them a bomb... We only looked online on the council site to see where things were at and thats when we stumbled over the letter.

Sometimes easements are unused and 24cm is not all that much. Good luck. And yes any builder… 2 13781 In Qld it is a requirement that a builder must have a cost breakdown, for building a home to the same specification, with the same inclusions and the same finish. So ask… 1 4354 Ask for references and speak to them. If they are defensive or try to avoid the request, walk. 1 74716 |
