Our tiler is booked for friday so cant wait to see the tiling The admin part was a good 1yr for us coz we changed our minds so much lol hope they come back with some good news for you Lenz Building with Dennis Family Homes Re: Building with Dennis Family Homes 367Mar 23, 2017 4:40 pm Have been looking around and comparing as people do and I have to say that I'm impressed with these guys. We'll more than likely lock in the Kimberly 30 or biggest Cosgrove this weekend with the biggest of the current options in the promotion which ends Sunday. Not letting 'promotions' sway me, but I'd be crazy to not lock it in when I plan to sign up in the coming weeks anyway. The sales rep we have been dealing with at Bendigo is a gun. He's gone above and beyond and they are lucky to have him. This will be the third time I have built (AV Jennings, JG King previously ) and I have a great feeling about this one. Very excited.

Hi rattle, welcome to the forum. It's good to hear from another dfh client. There's not many of us on the forum compared to other builders. Hope you have a smooth admin and building experience.

There's not many of us on the forum compared to other builders. Hope you have a smooth admin and building experience. G'day and thanks very much. We are officially, kind of on the DFH path... as in, we have paid the deposit, so we are pretty much on our way. We are going the Devonport 363 with colourbond roof and are still deciding on the Provincial facade with colours to suit the country location or the Vogue for a more modern look. The block sale won't settle til first week of June. The rep at Bendigo has been amazing. He's worked so hard on all our requests (6 kids) and our budget and has had some great suggestions. He came in 3 hours early today to walk us through the display (not Devenport) and pick apart every room and feature and help us work out everything in detail. We are stoked. Really looking forward to the journey ahead of us. You have a bit of time to think about colour choices. Make sure you visit all the suppliers before going to your colour appointment. My colour consultant didnt upsell anything and only showed me the standards so if you want something out of the norm, do your research before going Building with Dennis Family Homes Re: Building with Dennis Family Homes 371Mar 25, 2017 5:51 pm Went tile shopping the other day and picked out the tiles for the laundry and pantry splashback. I can't wait to see them tiled. The tiler is starting the walls on monday.

KDR Under the Flight Path - Dennis Family Homes (Hawkesdale) Re: Building with Dennis Family Homes 373Mar 26, 2017 2:14 pm Those tiles are gorgeous! Love them! Welcome rattleAU! Yay to another DFH build! Rondy - how is the new house? It must be surreal to finally be in your own home! Me - still waiting! God, admin is painful! Still waiting on confirmation in writing on them winding back the price to what it was when we signed our contract last year. We were told by our sales agent who spoke to his manager who ok-ed this but we all know unless its in writing..... The difference is $10k and with that the base price is $15k more than the base price for the Mortlake which we cant build! Argh! So, we've had to look at our wants vs needs list and re-evaluate our selections. We are now looking at the Macedon 313! Cass- if you are still around?! Any tips?! Hopefully, we shall have confirmation and a plan of action by this time next week. In the mean time, patience is a virtue, right?!

Ive got mu Fingers crossed for you. I hope i can get into the house tomorrow to get pics of the tiling.

If its the main, can you tell me what size that is? That's the main bathroom. We increased it to 1200 x 900. Building with Dennis Family Homes Re: Building with Dennis Family Homes 378Mar 29, 2017 10:51 am Can you post a pic of the floor plan of the bathroom. We want a bigger shower niche too but have trouble trying to work out just how to make it all fit without increasing the size of the room excessively! And by chance, do you remember how much it cost for that upgrade? Thank you! x Re: Building with Dennis Family Homes 379Mar 29, 2017 11:25 am Here's the plan of our bathroom. From memory i think it was under $300 to increase it to 1200x900. Then to have it recessed and tiled i think it was around $750.
