I just hate the look of tiles once the grout turns dark (especially on light tiles) Re: Fowler Homes Catalina 23 - Oran Park 168Mar 16, 2018 10:12 am Portofino38 Lara21 I’ve heard it does and doesn’t work so not sure if it depends on the tiles or products used so just trying to look into it at the moment.

Can I ask how wide your entry hallway is? Its actually not that big...compared to my next door neighbour....my build looks pretty average hahah! Yes were rendering the front pillars to the patio!

Are the red bricks going to be rendered afterwards? lara21 Thank you! We received the contracts Thursday, so were just going through it. The tiling looks amazing! Can I ask how wide your entry hallway is? Not wide enough haha! It’s 1.27m wide, would’ve preferred wider but our block didn’t allow it. We also had the nice wide front door included in our upgrade package but couldn’t have it as there just wasn’t enough width in the hallway! So we got a PCI date! 6th April!!

Re: Fowler Homes Catalina 23 - Oran Park 175Mar 19, 2018 8:42 am That’s brilliant, also considering that yours is much larger in size too. Can’t wait to get out there and see it all! Painting is starting this week 😊 we chose Tahira white, what did you guys select? Re: Fowler Homes Catalina 23 - Oran Park 176Mar 19, 2018 8:59 am portofino38 Its huge to us single story dwellers haha, when can you expect the roof to go up? lara21 whats a PCI? Oh okay, so pretty much like ours.. 1.28. Its good to see yours to get a gauge on how it will look! I wish we had a wider hallway also. I see you got a bench for your laundry also! Was that part of your platinum package? I'm wishing now we got a quote for laundry cabinetry.

Painting is starting this week 😊 we chose Tahira white, what did you guys select? For our interior? We went with Struan Grey! Which is a shade darker than Tahira White (according to the Taubmans website) Colours always look different!

Practical completion inspection, so we go through the whole house with the site supervisor and check that everything is right and for any defects etc. Walking through our hallway doesn’t actually feel as bad as I thought it might at least. I was mainly bummed we couldn’t have the wide front door! We did change our laundry slightly, with our package we got the tub and a bench and cupboard roughly a metre wide. Our washer and dryer were meant to be ontop of each other but we changed it to be side by side and under the bench. Then shortened the cupboard by like 10cm to make them fit and extended the bench the full length. Didn’t cost much at all to do thankfully.

We have Dulux Natural white at the moment and Tahira was close to that, just a bit lighter 😊 Re: Fowler Homes Catalina 23 - Oran Park 180Mar 19, 2018 9:57 am lara21 Thanks for the explanation! Wowzers that is super exciting!! Can't wait to be at that stage! Have you started planning/buying all your interiors and appliances yet? How many weeks was your initial home build estimated at? Ours is 34weeks! Oooohh Natural White is a beaut! Very close to Taubmans Oriental Pearl, which we were also considering. Good thing about the walls, is that we can always paint over it if were not happy hahahaha I would never build with Fowler homes. I built with them in 2021 and till date maintenance issues are pending. All their existing trades and businesses don't work with… 14 105533 Anyone built with Fowler Homes? Feedback? Especially any things concerning or negatives? Have heard some horror… 0 9290 |
