Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Building the Metricon Doulton 16Sep 08, 2017 11:18 am Love the tiles selections. It's going to look amazing. Did it set you back much? I wanted those black tiles for the powderoom. You know the ones out of the Somerset? But they didn't have them. But those brown ones look just as nice. Good choice that's from the display yeah? Our tiling selection took 5 hours. viewtopic.php?t=86597 Re: Building the Metricon Doulton 17Sep 08, 2017 6:36 pm Doulton777, the upgrade cost on the tiles was 54k. That was before I asked them to tile the study/front lounge room floor, the en suite toilet 2 and 3 walls to the ceiling, the laundry(they had provisioned 1.6m) to the ceiling and finally the family rooms feature wall tiles as per display (it was forgotten). I will be informed of the revised price later on (hopefully next week) Do not remember the Somerset powder room tiles. I only visited the display once and it was a long day as I visited the Doulton, Sovereign, Somerset and the Bordeaux. They all became a blur after that and the only things I could remember was the curved staircase of the Doulton and the high ceilings of Bordeaux.

Dulie I hope so, following the tiles in the display I have less of a chance of getting it wrong.

I guess if your not putting carpet in there. It over takes carpet price. Really love those main tiles. It's going too look awesome. Can't wait to start seeing your build. There are now 3 of us that I know who's building the doulton. viewtopic.php?t=86597 Re: Building the Metricon Doulton 20Sep 16, 2017 7:56 pm I have recently got back the plans of the build.
However there are some errors with the placement of items and some missing requests which I have requested at the post contract variations. There are no big changes to the Doulton Plan just the removal of the guest bedroom downstairs and its replacement with a front living room and a powder room. So here are the plans: First Floor Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ the main changes on the ground floor: -ceiling drop to entry hallway -ceiling drop dining room, kitchen and family room(this is expensive as it is a non standard request) -kitchen gas stove to window, double under mount sink to kitchen island -butlers pantry gas stove and oven plus dbl sink the main errors here are the glass wool batts which are supposed to R2.5 Accousti- therm batts Second Floor Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ -ceiling drop to perimeter of bedroom 1 and WIR 1A/WIR 1B -bath on 100mm raised platform -Hebel power floor Front of house and side Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ -front facade replicates the display home with 50mm brickwork exposed to the front with areas like the upstairs balcony and downstairs left and right. -Ground floor height 3m -First Floor height 2.7m -Hume Matisse doors for front entry and also balcony. Rear and side elevation D Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ -Side elevation mouldings to all windows to replicate the effect from the front windows. That is the design of the my build of the Doulton. I am trying to replicate the display to a large extent with additions that I have seem in other Metricon displays to give the house the look I want. Example of this is the 3m ceilings/the drop perimeter of ceilings which I saw in the Bordeaux and the raised bath platform which is in the La Pyrenee. Waiting for my final variations to be finalised correctly and also the tile variations(that I expect to be a big one).
