We are likely building the Grange 26 so following along. Great tip about the Silver range at Beaumont's! We haven't deposited yet, and are in initial quote stages but it gives a great idea on what to check out while we wait (the new LMI waiver scheme currently driving me mad as we are on a 'waitlist'... but that's another story). May I please ask some questions about your upgrades? What did they charge you for tile insert wastes? I think these look so much better! When they charge you to upgrade the Carpet, is it a blanket additional cost per Sqm and you can pick anything from Silver? Or are they all different? Same question with Ceasarstone I guess, as I know I will likely upgrade on the colours with that. Are you having the same colour Ceasarstone in your kitchen and bathrooms or are they different colours and was there a surcharge for that or just the cost to upgrade to Delux? Was it fairly reasonable to add the bench in the laundry? Thanks for sharing your story and looking forward to seeing how it all goes for you Re: Coral Homes Grange 22 Build - QLD 12Jan 29, 2020 11:48 am Tribe Hi Harweeeee, congrats on your build!!!!

It's great that there is the LMI waiver scheme now however being on the waitlist would kill me. Ask all the questions you want !

I thought I was so organised getting all my paperwork in for the first week of January - nope hahaha That's great news about the Tile Wastes - for some reason I thought they'd be more costly. I'm also a little worried about hair getting caught (thanks to my mum for the curly hair genes) lol... But great to know! With the carpet, did they tell you the standard range colours in advance or has someone shared it on here? With the benchtops that's really helpful to get a handle on budget - thank you for sharing. I think I saw someone say in another post that they were charged an additional price for having different stone tops in bathroom and kitchen to laundry, will do some digging. I haven't looked too closely yet, but I really love the black stone top which I think ironically is called Vanilla Noir which I know is going to cost us more. I think for the laundry bench that's reasonable, I'll no doubt do the same to put my dryer on plus hopefully a little extra bench space. Time to get the tape measure out I guess hahah! Re: Coral Homes Grange 22 Build - QLD 14Jan 29, 2020 1:05 pm Hi guys. Just to add my 2 cents worth in. We are also building with Coral - in Queensland. We had our colours appointment yesterday and have different ceasarstone benches in bathroom to the kitchen. There was no extra cost for this. We did however upgrade the kitchen benches to a deluxe range option and added a waterfall end. So no avoiding the variation cost bite there We didn't see any carpet colour options outside of what was in display homes until we visited the showroom. All colour options within the standard range were available to us. We had our carpet upgraded in the tender to the silver range and the underlay upgraded to the 10mm. Once at our colours apt we ended up going one level higher to the gold range - the difference was definitely worth it in our opinion as you get double the warranty, stronger and deeper pile and a better finish. Your mileage may vary of course. Now we wait to get everything documented, signed and approved by all parties before we get to the next stage - something happening on the block! Happy building Re: Coral Homes Grange 22 Build - QLD 15Jan 29, 2020 1:15 pm How exciting Magpie!!!! Thank you so much for clarifying on the different Caesarstone on bathroom and kitchen, so helpful!!! I can't wait to see the carpet options either - definitely wanting to upgrade the underlay as I feel this makes a massive difference to how it feels. Re: Coral Homes Grange 22 Build - QLD 16Jan 29, 2020 1:19 pm Underlay upgrade was pretty cheap and definitely worth it. You get the extra bounce/softness feel more from the underlay than the carpet. We went Gold carpet as the colours were stronger and the pile was that bit thicker. Just gave a more luxurious feel, especially for the open areas of the master and media rooms.

Morning Harweee The underlay was a minimal cost to upgrade and definitely worth it, regardless of the carpet you put on top. I never seem to have a copy of all my paperwork on hand when I answer questions so can't give an exact cost sorry, but it was only a couple hundred dollars. Re: Coral Homes Grange 22 Build - QLD 19Feb 21, 2020 2:52 pm Helloooo.. we officially signed off the contract and other relevant documents on Wednesday. Went through the plans and the lady pointed out things we’d never of questioned, like what side realistically should the shower tap be on and how high are the niches? Also, where are you going to put your brooms with no broom closet? All good questions. I had a few of my own, like why was the front window on the plans not the same as the facade picture on the website? Why is finance crossed out when we need it? ALSO WHY IS THERE DUCTED AIR-CONDITIONING ADDED TO OUR TENDER?! (we can thank the acoustic report for that 11k more.) However, it’s all sorted now and we’re eagerly waiting to get ahead with final finance approval and colour/tile/electric selections.
