I got quoted $9800 for the double front door, which is on top of the $1030 upgrade to the door Frame. Then $2950 for the handles and $2500 for the curve head highlight. So $16k for the front door and I was hoping around $10k... Seriously thinking about just getting the standard double door and change it post handover, no way it's going to cost $15k or maybe I'm out of touch. Gee that’s a lot. I would definitely find out what can be done post? And just have the framing for it. That’s ridiculous viewtopic.php?t=86597 Re: Building the Metricon Doulton 169Jan 19, 2019 8:31 pm Re: Building the Metricon Doulton 170Jan 19, 2019 9:54 pm Doulton777 JXYL Hi Stanus: If you don't mind me asking, how much was your Hume Matisse Double Front Door and door handles?

I still want a similar double door, might approach the supplier directly and ask for a price.

That’s way too much. viewtopic.php?t=86597 Re: Building the Metricon Doulton 172Jan 19, 2019 10:13 pm Thanks Stanus. A grand entrance door definitely gives that wow first impression, but I just think with the price you can probably get something even better. I got my eyes on this local door maker, but might not be cheap either. https://www.armadaledoors.com.au/ Re: Building the Metricon Doulton 173Jan 21, 2019 8:23 pm Re: Building the Metricon Doulton 175Jan 23, 2019 3:27 pm Looking very nice stanus Metricon Franklin 53 modified Re: Building the Metricon Doulton 176Jan 23, 2019 5:36 pm It’s coming along nicely. Are you happy with the progress so far? And the workmanship? viewtopic.php?t=86597 Re: Building the Metricon Doulton 177Jan 23, 2019 7:30 pm thanks guys. workmanship looks good. There were some small issues which the new home inspections picked and the site supervisor rectified. Overall up until know I am happy with the progress. Today scaffolding was started for the first level. I expect weather wrap for the first floor next week and bricking to continue after that. Re: Building the Metricon Doulton 178Jan 25, 2019 8:12 am That’s great so glad to hear it’s going well for you. Can’t wait to see the rest. I bet your getting excited? viewtopic.php?t=86597 Re: Building the Metricon Doulton 179Jan 27, 2019 5:15 pm I am happy when I see progress in the build. I drive past every day (to work) and it is great to see something being done. Today, Sunday they weather wrapped the upstairs exterior which surprised me as yesterday when I drove past in the afternoon (and took the below photo) only the scaffolding was done. (I did not expect them to be working Sunday) Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Building the Metricon Doulton 180Jan 27, 2019 5:57 pm stanus I am happy when I see progress in the build.
