Hi everyone, just about to have our land registered at Silverdale and we have engaged Coral Homes to build a Daydream 30. Very versatile design and flows very well. We have modified the design to suit our taste and to have direct pantry access from the kitchen. Still deciding on the ensuite / WIR layout. This will be our second build and really looking forward to going through the process again.

We are building Grange but our friend built daydream it's a great floor plan  Re: Western Sydney Daydream 30 Coral Homes 5May 28, 2017 3:28 pm BrownDog77Welcome look forward to following. We are building Grange but our friend built daydream it's a great floor plan We have a 20m wide block, and we really wanted to fill up a the frontage, along with a number of other boxes that needed ticking with regard to design, and the Daydream ticks them all with a couple of slight mods. We are putting the Hastings facade on it so it should hopefully not get lost in the masses of 2 storey places I am expecting to see around me 😁 Looking forward to getting this show on the road pretty soon. 10 Sep 2016 1,379 QLD Gold Member Re: Western Sydney Daydream 30 Coral Homes 9Jun 11, 2017 11:39 am chevyI love your pantry design, hope you don't mind I use that idea. That was the one thing I didnt like with the original plan, that you had to go around a corner to the pantry. Love it . My husband and I have modified our daydream 30 to include another garage (triple) and a roller on the other side to drive through.

My husband and I have modified our daydream 30 to include another garage (triple) and a roller on the other side to drive through. Hi Chevy, glad you like it, it was almost a deal breaker for me with no kitchen access to the pantry, i am still not 100% happy due to the rear bench size having to be reduced, but its a small trade off considering the size of the pantry. I treid different layouts like putting a Noosa style kitchen layout into the design instead, but it stopped the flow of the house a bit too much and created a really long hallway down one side. Iwould have loved to go a triple garage as well but i couldnt quite fit it on the block. Good luck with you build. 10 Sep 2016 291 Silver Member Re: Western Sydney Daydream 30 Coral Homes 12Jul 07, 2017 10:34 pm  mrbiggensSo with pretty much no movement with coral homes in 3 months, and a change of salesperson, I've pulled the pin with them and signed with Allworth instead. A little disappointed that I've lost 3 months that could have been spent getting further through the admin stage whilst the land registered, but no point crying over spilt milk  I've requested my deposit back from Coral Homes, less the retail cost of the contour survey they had done, have been met with flat refusal at the moment from their sales manager, will wait and see if a more "formal request" vets a different response.New design is a slightly modified Carlisle from Allworth (added a study to the front and increased the size of the WIR and Ensuite).

I love your new plan, your WIR is huge  Re: Western Sydney Daydream 30 Coral Homes 15Jul 24, 2017 10:40 am Your bricks are gorgeous!! Looking forward to seeing your plan come to life  10 Sep 2016 1,379 QLD Gold Member Re: Western Sydney Daydream 30 Coral Homes 20Sep 12, 2017 1:52 pm So selections are now finished with the Electrical closed off today. Variation for electrical ended up at around $9k, which included them doing all the downlights (I would normal recommend these be done after handover, but it works better for our budgets and property valuation to have the builder do it in the contract). We also added a heap of double power points and data points, etc so was expecting a big variation, still a bit hard to cop $135 per downlight, but such is life. Just waiting on a price back from their kitchen company (Timpelle) who think that this process is a licence to print money, so not much being upgraded from the standard package. That said the standard package for our house is pretty good (it includes 20mm caeserstone with waterfall ends, overhead cupboards, and we can choose the thermo laminted cabinets). For an example of their ridiculous pricing, upgrade to supernatural range of caeserstone was around 9k. The cost difference for caeserstone slabs at retail would be approx. $2k, so $7k markup. Refer http://sydneybenchtops.com.au/caesarstone for an idea on stone benchtop pricing. Think we will be sticking with the standard range out of principle lol. Also got the final plan variation back so that is all pretty much finalised now, just waiting for CDC to be completed and we can sign contracts.
