Enjoy your home building Re: Our new build @Wellard with Impressions 5Aug 06, 2020 1:40 am Just get some cladding to tile over the top of the brickwork - nice feature and won't stain etc etc, plus plenty of different style etc to choose from. Either that or can just render over it.. other than that, how have you found impressions?? Looking forward to seeing some more pics 👍 Re: Our new build @Wellard with Impressions 6Aug 06, 2020 11:22 am KodaCujo Just get some cladding to tile over the top of the brickwork - nice feature and won't stain etc etc, plus plenty of different style etc to choose from.

Looking forward to seeing some more pics 👍 Hello KosaCujo - thank you for the suggestion, we are getting cladding for the area around the window (like in the display home pic below). We want to keep the brick look which looks great with the cladding in the background. Do you have any suggestions on how we can get rid of those stains permanently? one other suggestion was to use a sealer and external paint with different shades. @Impressions the Home Builder have been great so far. Right from the sales rep who customised the floor plan to suit our needs and offered great suggestions to the construction coordinator who is keeping us updated at every step. Are you building with them or planing to??

Bricks started last week 😊 I have a thread going if you click my username and find it 🙃 Re: Our new build @Wellard with Impressions 10Aug 19, 2020 2:34 pm Thank you. The builder hasn't agreed for us to get this done pre-handover so it'll have to wait until after. Once the rangehood is installed, it'll get a bit messy and too much work. Or the tiler has to cut around the rangehood (again more work). I'll get some tilers to have a look as see what they suggest. What do you think about the paint option, something from the Haymes Artisan collection? Re: Our new build @Wellard with Impressions 11Sep 03, 2020 12:09 pm I probably jumped the gun on my review about @Impressions the Home Builder. Sales and admin were exceptional but the last few weeks have not been the way I'd like to be treated as a customer. We are not happy about a couple of things and the main one being the soap dish in the bathroom which we were told we cannot leave undecided at the tile shop. And obviously did not revisit at pre-start amongst the million things we discussed. However, I would have expected the pre-start rep to point out the mismatch or double checked with us. Brown feature and black tapware throughout the house but a white ceramic soap dish which looks really odd. What is more disappointing is the lack of responsiveness and customer service. The soap dish issue can be fixed but the efforts and the communication from the builder is not being shown.

Sounds like a pretty minor problem to be fair, unless there's other larger problems aswell 😬😔 Hope you can sort it all out soon! 😁 Re: Our new build @Wellard with Impressions 13Sep 04, 2020 12:30 pm KodaCujo spinvests I probably jumped the gun on my review about @Impressions the Home Builder.

Sounds like my experiences with BGC, which is unfortunate to hear others feeling the same. There are so many things to consider at prestart that you really need to rely on your consultant and that's the one thing that really worries me if I miss something myself will they pick it up and help me out? Anyway glad that after speaking to a supervisor its been taken care of for you.

If we do it again, I would request the pre-start to be broken into 2 sessions on two different days. Doesn't matter which builder, 3 hrs is not enough to go through all the options and make decisions. Most importantly you'd have to put together everything that you picked (wall tiles, floor tiles, tap wear, toilets, sinks, etc.) and visualise it and then have the skills to identify anything that doesn't match. This is where the consultant's expertise should come in. It easy to pick the ONE thing that doesn't match.

One is a tile and laminate meeting and then the rest gets done on the other meeting. Not the worst way to do things we found! "Losers" "humanity" "off time" "your" "top notch" "love symbol" Sounds like ponzo is done using other people's toilets 36 23920 Thank you so much everyone. This all makes a lot of sense. I guess when you talk to a builder who butters up everything to look very polished, you get to start believing… 7 17628 |
