Great to hear from you. I fell in love with the raised ceiling and butler's pantry in the Rio kitchen and I was sold! And, you guessed it, both options are extra. We intentionally saved elsewhere by keeping to the standard inclusions, i.e. tiling - except did pay for additional wall tiles behind the range hood (around $100 for plain white subway) FYI - The biggest disappointment at the gallery was the carpet - it's AWFUL. We got the best we could of a crappy supply and did end up paying $500 for Cat 3 with better underlay. We will be changing it to a better carpet later. I wish we had done a walk through of the gallery beforehand, too - would have saved a lot of pressure and stress on the day. I ended going back a second time and changed everything in the end anyway. Best of luck to you!

It has taken nine months to get here - Simonds seems to move very slowly even with our land fully released from the beginning. Our estimated completion date is 8 August. We shall see!

We got the keys this week. I think the Rio is roughly the same size. Our site started in November so about 5 months keeping in mind that that included Christmas and Easter breaks.

Our site started in November so about 5 months keeping in mind that that included Christmas and Easter breaks. That's awesome! All the very best for your move. We have reached the slab pouring stage and haven't even met our site supervisor yet due to his annual leave! Might get the frame up before then. At this stage, I don't really care - I'm just happy to finally be progressing.

We are almost the same in pace and my slab had been poured last week. What are the white pipes in your slab? are those slab piers or pluming pipes? The fastest thing a builder will do is bank your cheque, those systems work perfectly with lightning speed, everything else is slow burn. Just the way it is. 1 8672 Can someone please offer some advice? Im DESPERATE. Because I'm completely and utterly exhausted. How long are variations taking with other companies at the moment? We… 0 18243 Thanks. I called VBA today and they said it was a Consumer Affairs issue, the old handball. Seems like the government organisations don't want to do their job at the moment. 2 7512 |
