Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Building Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Geelong 2191Feb 07, 2017 11:05 am Emmz70 kylz4 Had a phone call yesterday to say that blinds are being measured up today only issue is that we selected face mount option to block more light, will be hidden by sheers or pelmets eventually anyway, however, because fir some reason they have done our family room window as a plaster reveal it has no frame fir the blind to attach to so has to sit inside. I hope it doesn't look silly being the only one different I think because that area will only have dining stacker and family room window both visible but far enough apart it 'should' look ok!?!? Annoying thing is that I picked up plaster reveal thing saying family window on the contracts and was told it meant for kitchen window, but now they've done family one! Anyone else have this? Yay to blinds where can I find plaster reveal for windows Kylz? However I realised I have a stupid fc sheet infill above window I originally wanted to delete. Annoying I know, so excited for blinds, makes me think it's nearing the end once they go in lol Plaster reveal was added into our prelim contract and when questioned they said it was for kitchen but now they've done the family, doh Oh no to fc sheet! Which window is that on? Is it an obvious one? So hard to remember every single thing!

Didn't click at time but thought 'hang on, that's $634 for them the just put a door on if they don't. Checked contract and it says it should be plastered in there! Gotta be on them!! Re: Building Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Geelong 2195Feb 08, 2017 11:14 am Yeah I thought the 600aud option would cover all sides of the understair storage. Kylz, what are your standard powerpoint inclusions? My drawings indicate double powerpoints but apparently the contract says single powerpoints throughout?

Just checked and you are right, the LE inclusions say single powerpoints throughout but my plans all show them as doubles!

Pffttt typical, be on them alright. Apparently they don't do the floor on some homes as well so ask flooring guys nicely to do in there as well. that's if u want one Re: Building Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Geelong 2198Feb 08, 2017 3:28 pm Yes I found that out in our studio m appointment! Was not impressed!!!! They were charging about $300 to do floor in there but I think when we changed our flooring category and they did the final contract they structured the pricing differently and I don't think the cost went in there. Pretty sure it is on plans though! Better check lol Re: Building Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Geelong 2199Feb 08, 2017 3:32 pm Now need to work out our balustrade for balcony! Piers look too short, and I mentioned it to sm months ago but he said glass would come higher than piers and the metal pole that runs behind the glass would connect to timber post instead of pier. After checking plans the pole is supposed to attach to pier and the pier is supposed to be higher than glass. SM told build advocate that the plans were updated to what he had told us but we've never signed off in anything!!! No rest fir the wicked hey!
