How does your cabinetry look? Haha yep good point. Cabinetry looks great! As it's an express build, we didn't get a chance to see what the handles for cabinetry and doors etc looked like but we love them so that's lucky! Re: Building Simonds Express - Westbury Premium - East Estat 74Feb 11, 2018 11:09 am pEast smithfamily Went and had a look at the house last night, sadly no unlocked doors So looking in through the windows, the kitchen bench tops and sink have been installed including tapware. Taps in all bathrooms, laundry, showers have been installed. Vanity tops installed and bath has been installed too. Front door has been painted, all bathroom tiling complete and toilets installed as well. Shower screens and mirrors are due for installation next Thursday and then honestly, I don't know what else is left!!! Obviously appliances and carpet still to be installed (the last to be done), plus garage door and driveway to be completed. I believe caulking throughout will be complete week after next as well..... Probably time for another walk through with SS We had one Friday week ago and don't think we'll have another one until PCI to be honest. There isn't much left to do now. I called him last week to ask about why the timber floors went in early, apparently the contractor didn't receive the notification of the date change for installation.... I'm glad they're in earlier but not at the same time as I don't want them to get damaged. Although it'll be Simonds problem at PCI anyway. Re: Building Simonds Express - Westbury Premium - East Estat 75Feb 13, 2018 6:43 pm Went and had an (external) visit last night to find that there is another hole, this time in the 2nd toilet wall.... Looks like the plumber has come to complete a pressure test and there must have been vibrations for the bath taps (on the opposite side of this wall) and therefore they have had to cut a hole in the wall to access the stud and pipes from behind to fix it. This will obviously be fixed, but still frustrating..... On a positive note, 2.5 weeks till completion!!

Re: Building Simonds Express - Westbury Premium - East Estat 77Feb 16, 2018 2:28 pm Love the colour of the laminate flooring, blends well with your colour palette Are those came from Perfect Timber Floors? What colour and range? Lucky Simonds allowed you to upgrade your floor coverings, they are pretty strict with modifications on Express range.

Yep they're from PTF, link below: http://ptf.com.au/product/corsica/ We had a good sales guy that got the tiles changed to timber floors luckily! Re: Building Simonds Express - Westbury Premium - East Estat 79Feb 16, 2018 3:04 pm You really are.. Most of the express home owners here wasn't able to upgrade their floor coverings. Did you pick the range and colour your self or Corsica is part of Ash set specifications? **planning to build a Westbury Premium and wondering what timber laminate comes with Chestnut palette. Re: Building Simonds Express - Westbury Premium - East Estat 80Feb 16, 2018 8:28 pm Definitely lucky, I've read lots of stories about people not being able to do any changes whatsoever. We did pick the timber colour ourselves. Even though there is no gallery appointment with Express range, I popped in to the gallery to look at the range of timber floors as the sales guy only had pictures on his computer to choose from, which is really hard to tell what they actually look like. So i popped into the gallery after we had picked the ash palette, got samples of everything in the ash colour palette and chose the timber floors while I was there. There was 5 to choose from i think and this was our favourite. 1 2685 The warning is on the sticker on the door too.
