Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Marcoola 32 with Coral at Canungra Rise Gold Coast 15Sep 09, 2016 10:27 pm deejay08 Love your plan and I'm a concrete, oak timber and white lover! My house is filled with it! Will be following along. Colour selections wise Kitchen: soft close drawers, shadow line finger pull cabintery, bulk heads, bindrawer (had to have it after playing with the display one!) waterfalls to island, stone upgrades...probs a gazillion more and many already listed above. Bathrooms: wallhung vanities with stone tops, close coupled wall faced toilets, freestanding bath, niches, tapware again probs a million more upgrades to be added. Flooring and Tiles: rectified $$$$ crazy laying costs but all swish tiles are rectified! I spent $5.5k on tile upgrades for two bathrooms and powder room. Full height to three main walls, smart drains or shower grates, grout choices. Lighting and electrical is super expensive. One gas point is $500! I barely added extra and still cost $2k over the allowance. We paid extra to have skirting tacked on until after laminate is laid so no scotia, upgraded underlay and laminate to 2.4m long boards. It's vanilla oak with saw cuts and looks so so many things you can upgrade. Feature walls cost a silly amount so hoping to grab the painter on the side with cash lol you'll enjoy every second of picking the personal touches for your home. You sound pretty prepared so I'm sure you'll nail it! Good luck! Oooooh vanilla oak sounds lovely ? thats actually one thing we have forgotten all about, the soft close drawers, I really want those! I think the designer style promo we chose included things like the wall hung vanities with stone tops, nice big front door, kitchen bulk heads and other stylish extras which is nice. Im crossing my fingers I will not be too fussy with my tile selections... haha!! Love that we have the same taste in colours, do you have a build thread?

Hopefully in the next few weeks I'll be posting my internal pics and seeing my selections come to life. Bricks finished this week yay! I chose this tile concrete 30x60for bathroom walls and timber look tile for bathroom floors.

Re: Marcoola 32 with Coral at Canungra Rise Gold Coast 19Sep 10, 2016 3:35 pm kikihome Milestone Have you got your nbn and data included in your contract,Fly screens?.. so jealous u got the colourbond and steel frame. That's what our colourbond roof cost by itself. Our flooring package was the same and we went over $1154 for tiles and $1600 for upgrade carpet and underlay and that was only silver range. But $6700 is cheaper then getting in done yourself although most of our tile upgrade was the rectified tile and grout we picked for our wet areas. Make sure they quote on all bricks above Windows and doors if you don't like sheeting above Windows or push Windows up under eaves it doesn't cost anything. Extra noggins for tv or pictures???? The list could go on our site cost blew out to $40,000 that was fire rating 19.5 bal do u know what is normal for your area, and our slab and piering... View topic our modified Stradbroke Yeah we have allowance for NBN included, should roll out in our area next year sometime so hopefully be available by the time our house is getting built. We are leaving out the screens and going to add them in at a later stage. Our contract has fixed price site works so Im hoping theres no hidden surprises? I have no idea about the bush fire rating yet either... ooooh I'm starting to feel a lil nervous now! Thanks for all the tips and things to think about, appreciate it a lot!

Sometimes easements are unused and 24cm is not all that much. Good luck.
