Our package included Carpet Call Castletons Luxury Natural Oak 5 mm-thick vinyl floating floor system, which was deleted with a credit back of $11.5k, in lieu of our chosen 13.5 mm-thick engineered timber flooring and upgraded underlay.

Awesome thanks for the info. That’s very helpful, what was the net overall cost of the upgrade? We’re thinking we’ll need around $20k. Re: Advise building with Metricon Fintona 37 9Jan 14, 2021 11:46 am The net cost after credit back of the vinyl, add upgraded underlay and engineered timber to 90m2 was $2,600. We carpeted the living and study.

Beaumont contacted us last week and booked us for Feb 11th, but we haven't got the building permit yet (been waiting for that since before Christmas)!

Same happened to us, the tile appointment is held until the last minute because tile runs go out of stock. We did our Studio/M appointment in Dec 2018, applied for Planning Permit in Jan 2019... lost a year in admin... then Beaumont appointment in March 2020... Construction started in April 2020. Choosing tiles to match colour scheme you picked >1 year ago is tricky! Re: Advise building with Metricon Fintona 37 13Feb 08, 2021 6:25 pm We already had to change our island benchtop colour, as the Dekton colour we chose (in May last year) is now obsolete and no longer in stock in Australia! And despite Metricon telling us that they had submitted an application to council for the building permit, now they say they are waiting final corrected drawings to submit to their surveyor, and then will be submitted to council! It's been just over 12 months already since we paid the $1,500 to start the ball rolling! I am looking for someone who might have tackled a similar issue as me. I have a few rendered interior walls, the surface condition is hardly flat. I can see all the bumps… 0 8325 Hi, First of all, thank you to this community for sharing your thoughts and opinions.
