Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Building Emperor 48 33Sep 27, 2017 10:27 pm Hi, Yesterday we paid a visit to our site and the Stone benches have been installed. I cannot wait for the external works to be completed. THere's still quite a few things to be done. I'm also keen to see the items that Darbecca has picked up as defects to be rectified shortly. they seem to be dragging their feet in this respect. now to make matters worse. I have been assigned a different Site Supervisor as the One o previously has moved to a different location. I would have preferred to keep him until the completion of the house. Let's see how this one is. He already does not sound so approachable and very by the book.

Our Henley Aegean45 Re: Building Emperor 48 35Sep 27, 2017 10:53 pm Thank you Aegean45, The colour is Urban and it is a Cat1 , I originally wanted to put the statuario maximus but it was a expensive so we made this one work i guess. I regret the style of the cabinets for my ensuite and bathroom, The one with the open shelves to expose your fresh towels is really nice. Not really loving the colour of the cabinets in the bathroom either.

Don't doubt yourself, your choices are gorgeous and once you've styled it it will look even better. Your kitchen colours match perfectly. I love urban, was going to go with this but went with raw concrete instead - very similar Our Henley Aegean45 Re: Building Emperor 48 37Sep 27, 2017 11:14 pm Thank you Aegean430, Wishing you all the best for our build. Let's hope they don't do a reverse build on yours due to Brick layer shortage. I'm not a big fan of building this way and unfortunately my house was built like this. They plastered the inside before laying the bricks. They can technically do this as long as the the house is wrapped.
