I hate carpet on the staircase. Difficult to clean. We too planning on tiles downstairs. But thinking of getting it done after handover. All the best with your planning. Have you decided on the MP or still looking at other floor plans?

Have you decided on the MP or still looking at other floor plans? Find out how the tiles interact with the skirting board. Maybe worthwhile getting 90mm skirtboards or even higher.

Have you decided on the MP or still looking at other floor plans? Hi HoneyDee, Thanks for the PM I have gone through few floor plans and seems like MP ticks majority of the boxes. I was after a plan which has sitting, Guest bedroom and Home theatre at ground floor which MP has but seems like I would be stretching a bit with budget on MP If that happens then I may need to see how to get the cost down like doing some stuff after handover or look at a different floor plan.

Have you decided on the MP or still looking at other floor plans? Hi HoneyDee, just a quick question for you if you dont mind please. Do you know what type of timber Carlisle are using for the construction ? They may have mentioned it in your quote like is it F5 90mm timber or MGP10. Also do you know what brand they use for windows - Bradnams or A&L ?Thanks ! Re: KDR in Melbourne SE suburbs- Carlisle - Montpellier 51 38Jul 27, 2018 7:48 am Hi Ozshaz, It says 90mm Pine frames. Don’t know about the windows. Will find out when we visit Spectra next. How are you going with your search for house plans?

MGP 10 pine? Re: KDR in Melbourne SE suburbs- Carlisle - Montpellier 51 40Jul 27, 2018 12:18 pm HoneyDee Hi Ozshaz, It says 90mm Pine frames. Don’t know about the windows. Will find out when we visit Spectra next. How are you going with your search for house plans? Thanks HoneyDee. Search is going full on I have looked into few different floor plans from other builders as well but MP is still the front runner. The good thing by talking to various builders is that they will tell the "look-out" things about their competitors. Like one of them told to look after the Pine frames from Carlisle as they use the F5 frame which is no comparable to MGP10 which majority of other builders use. Also to look after other quality inclusions like windows as they don't tell us which brand they are, sometimes plumbing may be issue etc. But that's whats the sales process is Many things to learn on the journey !! No one is perfect and we need to decide what matters us May be some of the above points would be helful for you to discuss during selections We were lucky in that our old house was so small (86 square metres) compared to the new house, they were able to take enough readings around the old backyard house before… 8 37142 Thanks for your reply! We're definitely not after a small house Might still have a chat to them. Who did you end up building with if you don't mind me asking? 2 2621 The biggest challenge will be if you take out a loan and then run out of money - you'll have an incomplete security and lenders do not like this so you can get stuck.… 2 19097 |
