Hi, We have four children but only three are currently at home the 5th bedroom will be a games room until he decides he wants to come home again. Re: Home Group WA- The Bordeaux 13Mar 16, 2016 12:04 am Just wondering for those who built with HGWA did they use the tiles supplied by HGWA or did they go to Crosby's or European Ceramics as I went and had a look at Crosby's and decided that they had tiles that better suited the look that I was going for. However the downside is that I have to pay $150 admin costs to HGWA and extra supply and labour costs as I have selected 300x300 which are free if you use HGWA but cost if you use their alternative suppliers. Does anybody know a ballpark figure of HGWA charge so I can add this to my pre-start budget. Cheers Re: Home Group WA- The Bordeaux 14Mar 16, 2016 1:39 am Yes we went with crosbys as i liked their range. I was pussed about the 300x300 tiles cause i really wanted them but didnt wanna pay. We stayed within what we were allowed and paid the $150 admin. Im not sure the difference of price but if you are only changing the floor tiles to 300x300 in wet area i dont see it being a huge cost. Re: Home Group WA- The Bordeaux 15Mar 17, 2016 11:51 pm Hi Romance76 we are just finished our tile selection through Crosby and went outside the size range Prestart is in 3 weeks time so I'll keep you posted about what the final cost was!! Sooooo jealous you are building the Bordeaux we loved that home and our rep talked us out of it!! Pretty happy with the design we went with though!! We signed on in Dec 2015 with HGWA first docs ready 1st April 2016. Was really taken aback by the small range shown at the tile and laminate meeting but overall still relatively happy!!! Re: Home Group WA- The Bordeaux 16Mar 18, 2016 12:03 am Hi Michellecandice, that would be great if you could let us know, we must be roughly on the same time frame as our pre-start is tentively booked for the 4th April as they are hoping to have our 1st documents sent out to us by the end of next week. What house did you select? Re: Home Group WA- The Bordeaux 17Mar 18, 2016 10:26 pm These are the tiles I have selected from Crosby's but between now are pre-start I will probably change my mind. http://i1070.photobucket.com/albums/u482/romanc76/Mobile%20Uploads/f37574e1-ebdb-4ff2-9141-73fdc7cafd9a_zpshk5aq7rt.jpg Ensuite http://i1070.photobucket.com/albums/u482/romanc76/Mobile%20Uploads/c8cea2ac-b2ec-474b-a7e9-a8dfd0c2f787_zpsbpagzgtg.jpg Kitchen and larder http://i1070.photobucket.com/albums/u482/romanc76/95e82c9b-6b30-4818-a246-88fa020e3fec_zpspm0iqmg8.jpg bathroom powder room and laundry http://i1070.photobucket.com/albums/u482/romanc76/floor%20tiles_zpsztgqm1kj.jpg floor tiles Re: Home Group WA- The Bordeaux 19Apr 07, 2016 1:51 pm Posting to follow, we are also building The Bordeaux. After buying our first house we also knew what we did and didn't want in the next. I like the changes you have made to the plan! 4 15667 We already paid for somfy motors for the blinds. The quote above was purely for “pre-wiring” so the blinds company can install the motors and blinds.
