Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Building with fowler homes 17Mar 16, 2017 5:20 pm Hi Newwy i agree on the facade decision. We are also thinking of getting a simplier one and render it later, put some ledgestone etc later on. Again lucky you, having known people who can do your flooring for a lower cost! For us, not sure whether it will be worth the hassle of gettinv flooring done afterwards. We dont know anyone, so may not get a good tiler!! We wont add any more cupboard , less electricals in the upstairs for now. Did you look at the free aircon option? Is that enough for the size you are building? If you are upgrading it, what cost will you be looking at? What kind of roof option do they have with the emporium pack? Best of luck on desciding on the house design. I am waiting to see hemisphere when it opens. Kind of knocked out havana from the list. Paris is another oprion for me Re: Building with fowler homes 18Mar 22, 2017 12:15 pm I did a preselection walk through at tiles direct yesterday, even though we havent locked everything in i just wanted to see what my options were so i can budget. Anyways i wasnt overly impressed with the choices as standard but since i really dont want to spend money upgrading tiles i think i found a compromise. So i thought i would share my tile choice plus what other bathroom choices i have narrowed it down to. I have decided to do exact same tiles in all bathrooms, powder room and laundry (i think i did make another post in bathrooms asking about other people who did exact same in all rooms) You will see pics below of my choices also the bathroom cabinets i found the pic on here from another home builder..the cabinets will be similar or maybe slightly darker grey, with silestone gris expo (or bianco river but i am unsure if that will look too busy with the marble effect of the tiles) Also i can decide on tapware we have the emporium package so we get the alder taya range but i like a few in the cheaper ranges too I like the idea of darker bathrooms, i think it gives it a more luxury feel and also with the marble effect less soap marks will show (i hope) Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Building with fowler homes 19Mar 22, 2017 12:36 pm I really like the tiles in the bathroom photo. I always wanted something like this. I will go with same tiles for all 3 bathrooms too. It that something from their standard range? Did you look at the timber laminated floorings? Were they any good?

I didnt look at the floorboards and laminate because we are going to do them ourselves... I took photos of all the standard included tiles in the emporium range please see pics below... i assume they are the same everywhere...

Which i think is crazy i would have loved subway tiles but i dont want to pay that! I would never build with Fowler homes. I built with them in 2021 and till date maintenance issues are pending. All their existing trades and businesses don't work with… 14 107304 Anyone built with Fowler Homes? Feedback? Especially any things concerning or negatives?
