Ouchies, 6K for flooring... What type of flooring did you get?
We're having polished concrete floors (nil exposure, matt finish) and it's costing us $5,024 for an area of approx 128m2
Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Valeco Homes 32Aug 09, 2017 9:23 pm breebarter Lanabananah Got to meet our SS onsite yesterday. seemed really lovely, and happy to answer any questions we had, including the ones I had once we left and I panicked because I wasn't sure if I had asked an earlier one correctly! He confirmed on track for slab on Friday so that's a plus. Hoping the construction stage is less stressful than our planning stage was! Super exciting lanabananah! Can't wait for you to start building! We went out to our block on Sunday, and they are slowly starting to scrape the extra fill they placed onto our block (our block is higher up on the hill) down onto the blocks below. Whilst we were out there we saw a Valeco sign in the street next to ours, on the same size block, so it will be nice to see a house so close being completed. I'm glad you got off to a good start with the SS! You have scraping on? that's awesome, so you think yours will start earlier than was initially thought? EDIT - ignore me. I just realised you meant your developer was doing the scraping. Re: Valeco Homes 38Aug 11, 2017 10:30 pm We recieved full working drawings this afternoon, quite a few changes will need to be made when we meet with our sales consultant tomorrow, not sure how they could get some things so wrong? For example concrete on complete opposite sides.. and weird window placements/heights of things. Did anyone else have a similar experience?

For example concrete on complete opposite sides.. and weird window placements/heights of things. Did anyone else have a similar experience? YES! our working drawings were completely wrong... they made changes based on what they thought would work better which i found extremely weird! for example complete relocation of the study, and dimensions of some rooms, such as hallway and bedroom. Also towel racks sitting in the middle of windows, light switches in the most odd places. They are currently changing it back to our original signed plans. I guess working drawings reveal their understanding of what we want.. Good opportunity to see exactly what needs to be fixed though. Can we see your plans?

Wow, relocation of the study, come on Valeco! Jeez On the other hand, they did put a few extra things in such as overhead cupboards/bulkhead/splashback to butlers which wasn't included and not in our contract price, we were going to ask for them but it seems they jumped the gun. I wonder if they are going to put them in as a variation and get us to sign a price? Also I'm not loving the heat lamps they added in our bathrooms? Yes, I think I'm going to start my own thread tomorrow so I will put our plans and some working drawings up 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 110980 Hi there!
