Re: KDR Metricon Hampshire 46 Melbourne Bayside 4Oct 01, 2018 9:49 am Congratulations! I will be following your build. Sucks about the overshadow. My council had no issue with that. A tip with tile selection. Windows in the wet areas can have tile reveals. Like the displays. It only cost an extra grand but makes the floor to ceiling tiles finish neater. Also are you doing the WC tiles floor to ceiling also? Re: KDR Metricon Hampshire 46 Melbourne Bayside 5Oct 01, 2018 10:16 am stanus Congratulations! I will be following your build.

It only cost an extra grand but makes the floor to ceiling tiles finish neater. Also are you doing the WC tiles floor to ceiling also? Thanks Stanus, I'm also stalking your post as well. I'd love to build a Doulton if that was feasible. Yeah that's Bayside council for you, but the good thing is I won't have to worry about my neighbours doing the same. Thanks for the tip, will definitely be doing tile reveals. And yes, floor to ceiling for all WC. Just have to control myself when the tile selection appointment comes...

Re: KDR Metricon Hampshire 46 Melbourne Bayside 10Oct 02, 2018 7:30 pm JXYL dulie Nice! Looking forward to seeing it all come together. Thanks dulie, your house is an inspiration for me too, especially the WIR fit out and sneaker wall, wife wants something similar for her handbag collection now... Awesome. I actually stole the WIR layout idea from the bayside version into our house =) Re: KDR Metricon Hampshire 46 Melbourne Bayside 11Nov 19, 2018 10:09 pm Finally some progress since deposit been paid. Soil test, survey all completed and I have received site Drawing and preliminary floor plan. They’ve done a good job and only one upgrade I requested was not captured. No date on preliminary contract yet so still a waiting game. New floor plan is uploaded to the first post, couple of things I still want to add, e.g. stacker door in family, walk in pantry (they got the design wrong), missing window above bathtub in ensuite 1, deeper alcove in WIR 1and taller ceiling for garage and garage door. One thing I noticed on my site drawing which I thought was weird. The max upper floor wall height is different for the left and right hand side. Left is showing as 6.299m and right is 6.799m. I don’t think that’s possible as they should be flat. I think they both should be 6.299 (3m ground + 2.7m first floor + joist), which is a good thing as it will be less side setback required on the right. Have raised with M, will see what they say.

I am looking for feedback on them from others who have built with them. 0 8200 |
