Your selections look fabulous. I love the idea of the metallic bricks for the pillars but hubby is pushing for render or tiled. Will have to go out to the brick centre to look.
Any idea of start date yet?

I love the idea of the metallic bricks for the pillars but hubby is pushing for render or tiled. Will have to go out to the brick centre to look. Any idea of start date yet? thank you! We now realise the brick will run all the way to the front door on one side (the drafter coloured it in wrong on our drawings) so I'm hoping it all won't look too harsh. you are doing render to the front aren't you? My partner and I always said we would do rendered pillars if we stuck with brick for the front. It's always good to have some different textures going on in my personal opinion. Tiled would look good too You should head out the brick yard for sure, at least get an idea of how certain ones look and which colours you would pick. Then when it comes to your colour appointment you can make a decision once they give you a rough quote on each the brick yard has some amazing rock like feature ones too, we would have loved to have done something like that, but we didnt even want to know how much more it would have costed haha no start date yet  hopefully we find something out soon. We were waiting on the last variation from an error early on, but i think it still needs to be changed. fingers crossed its the final thing needed for them to go ahead with a date.. well that and then getting some more money off us  Re: Coral Homes / Avoca 23 / START DATE: April 11th 67Mar 27, 2018 1:09 pm  CaydennHooray!!! So excited to see it all come together!! thank you Caydenn! We now have to contact the neighbours/builders next to us as they have used our land as a dumping ground for their build rubbish. Need to make sure it's cleared before our start date Hope you have moved in nicely, glad to see your build finished before the games started Re: Coral Homes / Avoca 23 / START DATE: April 11th 68Mar 27, 2018 1:11 pm bestspecialsThat is so exciting. We are supposed to find out our start date before Easter. Here's hoping. We had a very social weekend and everyone kept asking how the build was going, haha our answer was 'waiting on a start date' So keen to get to slab stage We were due to get the confirmed date tomorrow, but got it today, so hopefully you aren't too far behind either. looking forward to seeing your build come along Re: Coral Homes / Avoca 23 / START DATE: April 11th 69Mar 27, 2018 1:13 pm  CC7 bestspecialsThat is so exciting.

At the beginning of this we were told march/ maybe early april, so it's pretty close. We signed back in late November Re: Coral Homes / Avoca 23 / START DATE: April 11th 74Apr 17, 2018 2:54 pm bestspecialsSo, what's happening? We met our SS on Thursday morning, the site had been cut. He said all the work would start on Monday (yesterday) and the slab should be done by Friday. We are going to head out late sunday arvo to check it out  going to be strange to see something other than dirt on the lot hahahaoh and our neighbours went ahead with a fence, but they put in the retaining wall so that's a bonus, as it was something we were worried about doing. Our SS said we may need a very small one on the other side Re: Coral Homes / Avoca 23 / START DATE: April 11th 75Apr 18, 2018 7:50 am CC7 bestspecialsSo, what's happening?

Only a few days apart between our builds.  14 Jan 2018 12 QLD Junior Member Re: Coral Homes / Avoca 23 / START DATE: April 11th 77Apr 18, 2018 11:12 am  mrs.jessicaI love the Avoca build am hoping to do either the 23 or 25 in the next year, hopefully. Am wondering what was the upgrade cost for the Oyster for the benchtop, as we are also in love with that benchtop. We looked at so many displays and plans without finding anything we loved that wasn't too massive. When my cousin told me he built with Coral, i found the Avoca plan and it looked amazing, we were surprised to find they had a display of it too, and we were sold as soon as we saw it in person. It's really lovely isn't it? It's been really popular too apparently We love the master bedroom, the wide hallway at the entrance, the media room with only two extra bedrooms. Even if you didn't go with Coral, i'd be taking some of the ideas for the plans haha I just looked to get the exact price of the Oyster benches, and for both (island and stove area) in 20mm it was a total of $414. We were quoted $450 so it came back cheaper. We have no regrets about upgrading to that colour, and we don't even have a slab yet haha Re: Coral Homes / Avoca 23 / START DATE: April 11th 78Apr 18, 2018 11:16 am bestspecials CC7 bestspecialsSo, what's happening?

You guys got such a good head start, show offs hahaRe: Coral Homes / Avoca 23 / START DATE: April 11th 79Apr 19, 2018 6:45 pm We are soooo grateful to have our soon to be neighbour over the back snap a progress shot for us, as unfortunately we can't make it out on the weekend. This side of the house is extremely narrow, thank goodness the other side isn't as narrow haha - keen to go out at some stage next week to check it out, I know angles can be an illusion with photos Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Coral Homes / Avoca 23 / START DATE: April 11th 80Apr 20, 2018 8:15 pm How awesome! You're on your way now... exciting. And how lucky are you to have great neighbours to snap progress pics for you (you're also lucky re the fence and retaining wall 😉) One side of our house is narrow also - like yours! For those thinking about building with Coral - Rotated through 5 different supervisors - Had to personally point out missing/wrong items during the building process -… 0 26443 I’ve been thinking about adding another sink as well. Is it even possible to cut into a Caesarstone benchtop safely after it’s already installed? I keep hearing mixed answers. 3 30166 Hey! Having just picked up the keys to our house, (yesterday) we have been flat out moving in. How can two kids create/have some much stuff! We couldn’t have lasted… 1 42372 |
