Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Allworth Avalon / Sonata Our Dream Home 73Apr 10, 2018 12:30 am More good news, my brother in law is an electrician and has been able to get a 14kw Ducted Daikin system for us at cost price from colleagues who order 100’s at a time. Saves us a stack of money and he’s going to put it in for us after handover with a couple of helpers. He’s able to get all the ducts and zones super cheap for us too so I can have as many outlets and zones as I like! Re: Allworth Avalon / Sonata Our Dream Home 74Apr 18, 2018 9:51 am Progress report- They should have bricked all last week and into this week until finished. I am hoping roof to come next I measured all the windows when I was last down at the site and finally confirmed all my blind sizes that I paid for at 50% off in the post Christmas sales, so they’ve gone into production on Monday. I’m glad we waited a bit as the colour I had originally chosen was sold out and I could’ve either waited 6-8 weeks or change colours. Glad I had been able to think about it because I chose a different colour and had gone off the original colour. I’ve been getting driveway quotes this week and stone quotes for the kitchen. Going for jet black bench tops and a marble stone splashback. I just want to go look at the slabs in person to choose the exact marble I want. I am going down there tomorrow for a week so I am really looking forward to seeing the house and the progress over the week. Will post some pictures tomorrow once I have checked it out Re: Allworth Avalon / Sonata Our Dream Home 75Apr 18, 2018 1:05 pm Great news! Fingers crossed there’s lots of progress when you get down there. Re: Allworth Avalon / Sonata Our Dream Home 76Apr 18, 2018 1:58 pm I just got an email and was so disappointed at first because the they don't have enough of next fabric colour fabric since it's the whole house and won't get any in till early July, so I chose a more expensive textured fabric in a similar colour (looks the same to me) and told her to email an invoice for the price difference. I was doing the cringe face but she just emailed back saying they will do that fabric for me at the same cost for the inconvenience, Winning!

They’ve done a fantastic job, you could just about call it perfect, my picky hubby is very impressed, apart from the drain issue in the slab the work so far has been great. They’ve used way more timber than required in the frame. It’s very straight, 450mm apart and thicker pieces. Going by this morning and hope to see someone on site. We’ve never come across any workers at the site so it would be good to meet some trades yes it does, you've just not understood it. theres a difference. 4 5498 Your house should come in "as new" condition.
