It was very tough decision and finally decided on 5 blade 😜 All our other rooms have 4blade so thought ok let's try 5blade for living 😁 Re: Manhattan 21 heavily modified - Coral Homes Sunshine Coa 64Mar 13, 2019 8:27 am Can anyone help me with the sparky charges for adding a double power point inside and outside the house?? Also how much does it cost for adding a Track light for Kitchen??? Please help. I thought they do cash job but charging equally to clipsal 😕😕🙁 Re: Manhattan 21 heavily modified - Coral Homes Sunshine Coa 65Mar 13, 2019 9:20 am Cool fans! Hey we are thinking of going with fans in bedrooms and main living areas. What are others planning with regards to lighting? We originally were considering fans with LED lights built-in, but not sure I really want this setup now. Curious how others are planning on setting up lights in say standard bedrooms with a fan installed as well? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Check our Homeone build blog here Re: Manhattan 21 heavily modified - Coral Homes Sunshine Coa 66Mar 13, 2019 7:45 pm Today sparky came and had a chat to discuss regarding placements etc. Also had a chat with SS. They initially quoted $50 to $100 for noggings but now suddenly he says can't put all the way jus centre of wherever we mentioned but for the cost of $200 😱 Re: Manhattan 21 heavily modified - Coral Homes Sunshine Coa 68Mar 13, 2019 7:50 pm Look at the piece of wood they have put which is half broken and half rotten in few places. Is this normal or should we ask then to put a good one?? Our SS sucks. We had very nice sales person n somewhat good contact person but our SS sucks 😭 For everything he says if you go through Coral admin fees is $200 but I will charge you $200 for broken wooden pieces.

I've no idea about wood quality etc for that kind of thing, but could be good justification for engaging a building inspector - they're the experts and should help you with that sort of thing But good to see some nice progress there, wrap, windows and first fix is done!

You've overtaken me now We are actually planning to do inspection after fixing n piping. As every stage is 350 dollars and thought pretty much nothing big between frames and now to do inspection now. Hopefully they will do plaster Friday. Haha ours is single storey house. Double storey and lots of beautiful inclusions will obviously take time. Hope our SS does a quality work 🤞 Re: Manhattan 21 heavily modified - Coral Homes Sunshine Coa 72Mar 16, 2019 11:08 am MrsAJ Is there a plug in dishwasher space?? I'm not sure, it's hard to tell from the photo of your plans - there's provision for something in your island bench, though this might be the microwave. I can't tell what the other things are in the kitchen, or even what the writing says. But if none if it says "provision for dishwasher" or similar and you don't have one included in your contract, I'd say not. Re: Manhattan 21 heavily modified - Coral Homes Sunshine Coa 74Mar 16, 2019 3:15 pm Yep, often a single, and it'll be one of the included points - like your fridge, microwave, washing machine and (if it's part of it) auto garage doors. Re: Manhattan 21 heavily modified - Coral Homes Sunshine Coa 77Mar 20, 2019 3:46 am Week 6 Plaster is been done. Just one more week to travel back home. Eagerly waiting to see things live than seeing the build progress through video or pictures. Glad my hubby kept me posted on every step of this build which I doubt he would have done if I was there 😉 We skipped the inspection before plaster and planning to have one after. Few pictures on the progress. . Re: Manhattan 21 heavily modified - Coral Homes Sunshine Coa 79Mar 20, 2019 7:58 am That happened quickly! I love the size of the windows - even at that time of day they let in so much natural light. Really nice look Re: Manhattan 21 heavily modified - Coral Homes Sunshine Coa 80Mar 20, 2019 9:21 am KingTaco That happened quickly! I love the size of the windows - even at that time of day they let in so much natural light. Really nice look Thanks!😊 That was the last minute addition. We wanted sunlight during winter to our master bedroom so added two more vertical windows on the northern side of the room inspite of having stacker door on east as well. Infact I feel so bad that we reduced the windows size in guest bedrooms thinking our toddler will reach the window and now every single time I see that window I regret for doing that blunder. It looks awful 🙆♀️ Ask the council if there is a chance of getting build over easement exemption. Sometimes easements are unused and 24cm is not all that much. Good luck. And yes any builder… 2 14757 In Qld it is a requirement that a builder must have a cost breakdown, for building a home to the same specification, with the same inclusions and the same finish. So ask… 1 4835 Ask for references and speak to them. If they are defensive or try to avoid the request, walk. 1 77887 |
