Also, did you get the $4k tile allowance? Did anyone upgrade carpets and what was the price like? What sort of cost is it above the standard range? We got one dimmer switch for the media room and it cost $118. That is installed of course. We didn’t get an allowance we just got to pick from the standard range at tiles direct. We upgraded a few tiles but only did floor to ceiling in our ensuite only so it was only a few thousand over. We didn’t upgrade the carpet as we felt any carpet is going to wear as we have small children, so we figured we would be replacing eventually anyway at some stage. We were pretty happy with the carpet we chose. They will try to get you to upgrade the underlay but I think that is a rort. I’ve been to Kate and dukes and they didn’t upgrade underlay and it was very nice to walk on. FYI our carpet is called Hollywood Nights. Like Salfield we didn’t upgrade the carpet or underlay as we will have young kids on it in the next few years and didn’t think it was worth the money. And we did the same as Salfield re: tiles. Included was the standard tile range and we upgraded as we liked.

I have a corner that's meant to be just a normal regular plain corner. However, after my first site visit, the site manager has said that there now has to be a duct that's going to be boxed in. The first photo below is the duct and the second photo is what it will look like. Now I think about it, I think they've made an error. There was already a duct located in the WIR which I think they've forgotten. I'm not very happy about this as it wasn't in the finalised plan submitted to the council, if we were to do this kind of change by request, Rawson would've charged us a drafting fee with a few delays. Has anyone complained and had the layout changed to suit the air duct?

But for me it did not appear to be issue as it was from right corner (as per plan) moved to left corner. Talk to your SS if there is any alternative, sometimes they can't get access because of structural obstruction, which is obviously their error for not considering in design stage. Cheers, ND You should check your detail drawings, it may show downpipe within brick pier. 14 14126 Just started the Build process for Chifley 42 with Rawson homes, will keep you all posted with the Build progress. 0 2464 Hi, Apologies - I know there is plenty out there on this but struggling to put together the puzzle.
