We found one through Ikea for only $1199. Anyone managed to get away with own appliances to be done post-handover - basically spaces were provisioned and get credits back? during my tender, I asked my tender presenter if it's possible to get the house without an cooktop. as I wanted to put my own cooktop(Induction). he made a few phone calls on the day and said I can and get a credit for it. so yes it's possible. but I ended up getting standard include ones.

But we will have to paint ourselves.

That's great! Thanks for sharing this. Our CC didn't give us a straight no for an answer but told us it would be pretty hard to say to get it approved - which leave us with the question whether do you need those applicances in place for handover. Building a Oceanside 36 @ Kellyville Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 16891Mar 10, 2017 11:59 am Hi everyone! Did anyone add a toilet-shower (called as toilet-bidet sometimes), to their WCs or toilets? I've always received a lot of confusing info from Clarendon about this. This toilet-bidet shower needs to have Sydney water i.e. no rain-water, so it has to be connected to the plumbing accordingly. But I was told by Clarendon tender team a few weeks ago that they cannot install such a thing, or can't even give me a cold water point there, apparently because this needs a big system worth $4500!!! Has anybody come across this? Is there any other way to get the toilet-bidet installed now or later? Please help! Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 16892Mar 10, 2017 1:56 pm sherlock7 Hi everyone!

In the event we scrapped the idea and asked for a quote for a bidet-equipped toilet suite instead during our Colours and waiting for the quote.

Hi 1st time builders can I ask what wall paint color you used and the flooring it's really nice colour combination.. Feature wall in background is a Dulux colour (not provided with Clarendon) it's dulux silkwort 1/4 strength and other walls are taubmans winter ice. flooring is parador trendtime 6 oak castell limed from carpet call Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 16894Mar 11, 2017 9:18 am Thanks wingzee! Looks like they are very reluctant to install the system now.. even if we're ready to pay a bit more. I wonder what I can do to get around... Maybe I'll have to talk to a plumber. wingzee sherlock7 Hi everyone! Did anyone add a toilet-shower (called as toilet-bidet sometimes), to their WCs or toilets?

Has anyone upgraded their carpet and underlay from the standard that they offer for Evolution series? I thought their standard range carpets were so-so and was keen to get one from one level up. Ballpark, how much does it cost? Ours is a single level home - Hayward 24. Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 16899Mar 13, 2017 10:04 pm Hi guys has anyone changed external colours after painting of render facade & cladding has been done? Our externals have just been finished and I hate the colours I choose. Just want to see if anyone has done this before? And cost Clarendon charged or if possible at all? Or best to just look up a painter ourselves? #Regrets Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 16900Mar 14, 2017 10:25 am Thanks amiarm. I am also keen to figure out if building a bulter's pantry with Clarendon is better than doing it post handover. Have you done any research on this? Do you know the costs associated? the stair balustrades? There is nothing special about these and I imagine literally every stair installer will be able to do this. 1 6685 The two 15mm holes are obviously not compliant. The Dept of Fair Trading would love to see this one! Do the gutters pool water after it stops raining? Although it's… 4 7812 Thanks for your reply. I will just wait and see I guess.
