They will do the skirting boards, window frames, door frames and doors next. The silk finish on the cupboard doors looks great. yay! I can't wait for the doors to come. Hoping the garage door doesn't come too soon because that will mean lock up stage and i'm going to miss walking through haha Re: Coral Homes / Avoca 23 / June 3rd - Walls, kitchen cabin 174Jun 04, 2018 2:12 pm Yay!! It looks awesome! How exciting. I can’t wait to see all our cabinetry. 😄 Just to give you a little piece of mind. I was worried that our neighbours flab was to close to our fence. Thinking they put it in the wrong spot. But we called our Ss and he said all the builders/ engineers measure and place the slab according to gps not the pegs. I was so relieved to hear this. 😅 Re: Coral Homes / Avoca 23 / June 3rd - Walls, kitchen cabin 176Jun 04, 2018 2:26 pm oh I love the idea of the LED strips, was that an expensive upgrade? We are also planning on the raised ceilings but I'd only considered the higher wardrobes after following along your build, it looks so good! (and SO efficient!). Are your ceilings raised to 2590 or 2720? Re: Coral Homes / Avoca 23 / June 3rd - Walls, kitchen cabin 177Jun 04, 2018 3:43 pm mj-mac4 Yay!! It looks awesome! How exciting.

But we called our Ss and he said all the builders/ engineers measure and place the slab according to gps not the pegs. I was so relieved to hear this. 😅 that's what my partner said about the GPS too. And i'm sure Coral would have done their gps before starting, or it would be a s**t storm for them later if it were wrong so they wouldn't slack on something like that The cupboard height was one of the first things we requested hahaha, I think it's my favourite upgrade too and probably the cheapest, i think it was $150 for three robes for the higher cupboard doors (we then upgraded two of those to have the mirror finish on top of that) Here is a photo at frame stage of the WAS study nook, turned into two robes. The lower one is across from the ensuite and that's the linen. The higher one is the media room Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ I feel like maybe Coral/new builds ( ? ) have their robe shelf a little lower than at my mums house, so it may not be a huge problem.

Are your ceilings raised to 2590 or 2720? We had this down in our tender (we changed it like 5 times before contract) but i cant for the life of me see it in there, not in the final one either BUT our electrical paper work says $302.72 and that's for supply and install. Could not see in the paper work about the price about the recessed work on the cabinetry, but i think our Sales Assistant quoted us about the same price and we requested recessed then Really eager to see it installed, it was something my partner really wanted Our ceilings were raised to the promotion height of 2550, but we left the doors at the standard height Re: Coral Homes / Avoca 23 / June 3rd - Walls, kitchen cabin 180Jun 06, 2018 7:02 pm OMG i only JUST saw the last part of your comment until now. Oh that set up would have been more what we were after. Thank you for this. I would imagine we would have the same rangehood model too I think it depends on the companies they use, different areas. My cousin built with Coral last year and they said they didnt even get functional doors on theirs haha, so strange, and they inquired about it and i believe they said Coral said the company that currently does their cabinets on the Sunshine Coast just does it like that It could be different now. Ask the council if there is a chance of getting build over easement exemption. Sometimes easements are unused and 24cm is not all that much. Good luck. And yes any builder… 2 13781 In Qld it is a requirement that a builder must have a cost breakdown, for building a home to the same specification, with the same inclusions and the same finish. So ask… 1 4357 yes it does, you've just not understood it. theres a difference. 4 5333 |
