Also, I feel like I have so many questions!! But is anyone going external for the driveway and porch/fence? And if so who did you go through, did you save a lot of money? To me the extra cost of insulation was worth it. We paid for roof sarking and insulation in the walls on out last house we built and the house was nice and cool in summer and warm in winter. We are renting a house at the moment where there is no insulation and we are freezing this winter. Definitely worth the investment in my opinion. 100% agree.. and it also helps reduce noise coming in and going out... every little bit counts... Re: Coral Homes general build thread 8819Jun 21, 2017 6:50 pm Thanks so much guys, we decided to go with the extra wall insulation and the sarking. So hopefully it's worth it in the end!! We have also taken out our driveway and will do the driveway/fencing/landscaping ourselves. Has anyone upgraded the following items: - bigger shower head - niche in shower - undermount sink - glass splash back And any prices?

Cheers Our undermount sink was about $480 You should check your detail drawings, it may show downpipe within brick pier. 14 14194 Ask the council if there is a chance of getting build over easement exemption. Sometimes easements are unused and 24cm is not all that much. Good luck.
