My SS just reverted back and said they're being air freighted instead to minimize delays so it should only be about 14 days so i'm assuming it should be done by handover.

Great to hear Brilliant result Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 12530Sep 14, 2018 10:57 am singalg A question abt the blinds/shutters, for square set windows. What are your thoughts if they should be installed within the recess/frame or outside on architraves/wall? what do people go with in general? I am thinking of getting them installed within the recess/squareset not to have anything sticking out of the window frame... For square set I would go recessed, unless they are double roller blinds or it’s stacker doors, then you’ll have to have them on the architraves/wall.

Has increased from 2-3 weeks advised in June 2018. For a standard Wisdom design with no external modifications. Seriously?! Hi Stukip, our hydraulics took 6 weeks. Actually 8 weeks because our CSR wasn't aware that we had signed our landscape plan so it was delayed by 2 weeks Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 12532Sep 14, 2018 12:26 pm ASJ1981 ozmonkeyoy It will be much easier to have W put in the water points and drainage into your alfresco rather than doing it post handover. It can be done but much easier so pipes can be run under slab. But requesting this now will cause more delays and maybe variation fees. Good luck... Thanks ozmonkeyoy. I figured there will definitely be variation fees. We are waiting for Submissions Plans right now and it will cause more delays. I need to pick my battles on this one Sink would be great and convenient - some might argue it's necessary, but it's not a deal breaker for me - i don't think. I have seen outdoor kitchens online with just the bbq and bar fridge and for now, i think those two combos should suffice. Hubby will just have to wash his hands with the backyard hose Hey ASJ1981, the cold and hot water points plus drainage is costing us $890.

Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 12534Sep 14, 2018 12:34 pm ASJ1981 becks81 Can you please elaborate on the vanity design and this fascia and aluminium strip at all? Hi becks81. We are on Luxury Package so i am not sure if there is a difference between packages. But the standard vanity looks like this: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Though it is not bad, i personally don't think the aluminium strip will suit the rest of my bathroom! For our Powder Room, we asked Timpelle to make our vanity like this: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ I would have loved for the doors to go all the way up for the ensuite and main bathroom. Thanks for the heads up! I'm checking ours, I didn't know about the shadow line! Our powder and master should be like your powder with the drawers going up to the stone but I think our other Ensuites will be with the shadow line. I've already used up 2 quotes and as they aren't high traffic areas (kids rooms), I think I'm inclined to leave it.

Can still be done but depends where you wantthe drainage and how it can be linked to existing plumbing. We had to have plumber come post handover to extend our sewer for our pool wastage but that was easy as trench was dug alongside the house, not through any slabs. Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 12539Sep 14, 2018 12:46 pm becks81 On a different note, has anyone funded their build substantially or partially using private funds? How is the payment schedule affected by this? Not quite sure what you mean by this, but yes, i've funded my build up to a certain amount then the bank gets involved in the progress payment. It doesn't impact the payment schedule Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 12540Sep 14, 2018 12:50 pm becks81 On a different note, has anyone funded their build substantially or partially using private funds?
