From what i understand, they got a great deal so are very happy. They mentioned that they will post their experience on here soon.
They were originally quoted for 157m2 of timber and 41.5m2 of carpet. *** measured 140m2 of timber and 33m2 of carpet. 25.5m2 is a lo of wastage in my opnion.... so my advice is............. ALWAYS GET A SECOND OPINION FOR MEASUREMENTS !!!!!!!! My recommendation is for anyone wanting to get a better price, go to *** at 1299 Princes Hwy, Clayton. Ph. 9265 5555. Ask for Mariana or Stephen in the floor coverings area. Tell them a user on Homeone recommended you. We bought Boral Silkwood Engineered Timber Flooring 2 strip 166mmat a little more than Laminate or the cheaper brands of flooring at around $60/m2 add about $20 for laying. Also bought Godfrey Hirst sisal look 50% wool / 50% nylon for about $35/m2 with top of the range Dunlop Foam underlay - fully installed!!! They also have Tuftmaster and many of the leading brands, so it can't hurt to take a trip down there. You never know, it might save you 000's, like it did us!!!!!! I love to bargain hunt and have bought great quality carpet from *** for our last house too...They guarantee never to be beaten on price. Check out www.***.com.au They also have locations in South Melbourne and Narre Warren. Good luck and happy shopping!!!! If anyone has a good experience with ***, please post it here for all to see.

Highly recommend Fowle's based on price and service so get on down there.... ...you wouldn't believe it...hadn't heard for Fowle's (sales that it) until a few days ago and get home today and a Fowle's 'junk mail' brochure was in the l/box....whhaaaaatt!!! Re: Timber Laminate and Carpet query 11Oct 26, 2007 6:38 pm I'm terrible.....
I've changed my mind on our timber flooring-again. We originally chose the Boral Silkwood Spotted Gum flooring in the 166mm - 2 strip variety. I am now changing it to the 80mm single strip. A little more expensive but at least i have 2.4m x 80mm wide, long length boards instead of a 2.4m board which has 4-8 staves or pieces of timber per board. Happy now, but still trying to talk hubby around to go, yet again over budget on the carpet too....Will keep working on that one Re: Timber Laminate and Carpet query 12Oct 26, 2007 7:45 pm **Phoenix** I'm terrible.....

I much prefer single strip too, good choice Thank you. Do I use timber floorboards for stairs or do people use timber treads? Or is both the same? 6 7274 2 7191 There is no reason why building contract reconciliation cannot be done prior to handover, if the builder won't do it get someone to do it for you.
