Is that correct? Cheers Lydds Not in NSW unless it's recently changed but I doubt it. http://bellaviabuild.wordpress.com Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 15144Jun 17, 2016 7:19 pm KLB pandj.lydds Hey guys, I can't recall exactly where I read this, but I have heard that apart from carpet call we may also be able to select our flooring from Harvey Norman.

Our SS is so amazing. Such a nice guy and on top of everything! Was straight up the scaffold after I left to check on something I asked him about. I'm starting to get excited as the end is near...time to shop for furniture Building a Fairmont 34 with modifications Who's building with Clarendon?? 15147Jun 17, 2016 8:38 pm Our SS said all going well 6 weeks...but I'm not getting my hopes up totally yet...I know too well that things don't go to plan. How is yours going KLB? Building a Fairmont 34 with modifications Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 15148Jun 17, 2016 9:45 pm Nothing has happened this week which was disappointing. Stairs are booked for Tuesday and kitchen Wednesday so I'm hoping to make up some time next week! http://bellaviabuild.wordpress.com Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 15149Jun 18, 2016 6:15 pm We signed up to build Sheridan 39 in Sydney in May. Had our meeting with sales consultant today to have a look at the plans and variations before tender presentation next week. Found that they had flipped the design which makes its pointless from orientation point of view. This happened in spite of clear instructions from us when we signed up. Have little faith in them getting their act together and fixing the plans, costs and variations before tender presentation next week because flipping the design changes everything. Disappointing start with Clarendon to say the least after hopeless experience with Mojo.

Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 15152Jun 19, 2016 8:39 am good to see most are far along in their process, we still have a ways to go. our tender date is july 1st..my worry is everything we loved in the display home is a upgraded option and everything we liked will end up racking up about $30k in upgrades and the basics will only give us enough to keep the roof from coming down lol..just first time nervousness i guess.we went with the evolution package..not to worried about stuff like taps and lights those are things i can upgrade myself for less than half the cost of the builder my wife really loved the plantation shutters but those were a very expensive upgrade and we will do those ourselves later..if anyone has done the evolution package how were your options? were their many or was it like one ugly one and one less ugly to choose from when it came to items around the house that can be chosen? we also got the 19 premium upgrades that was $4,990 they threw it in for free. building in oran park stage 21C killara 26 model with clarendon homes Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 15153Jun 19, 2016 8:45 am Do geat to hear the progress on people's houses.
