Yes, we are extremely thrilled that they are working so hard. They have finished the internal float in 3 days and a huge pile of sand was delivered again yesterday for the external float/render? I'm just wondering when we will be at lock up stage Re: Ze Roses' Build by Ultimate Homes WA- Can't Believe my EYES! 104Jan 15, 2010 3:16 pm Oh oh render! Woohoo Nice street view, but is it wrong that I can pick the house on the corner as a Davenport facade by Scott Park homes? Does anyone else have this issue when they driver around new housing developments ? OOO LOOK AN AMARI BY DALE ALROOSTER. OH AND A BELVEDERE BY ROSS NORTH! Re: Ze Roses' Build by Ultimate Homes WA- Can't Believe my EYES! 105Jan 16, 2010 11:23 am If you hunt through Dragon's thread (also with Ultimate) and look at the date of the photos with the plaster set, and then use the difference between that and the end of January, it gives you a rough idea. Our stuff has been done in a similar time frame to his so you'll probably find the same with your house too We did that all the time to see when the next thing would happen Re: Ze Roses' Build by Ultimate Homes WA - PHOTOS PHOTOS PHOTOS 106Jan 22, 2010 1:47 am It has been a week since I last posted and A LOT have happened: 1) Rendering completed for both inside and outside (but they have covered some of our GPOs by mistake) 2) Windows and sliding doors are IN 3) Ceilings/Bulkhead done today Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Ze Roses' Build by Ultimate Homes Perth - Photos Galore! 108Jan 25, 2010 2:18 pm Thanks Mrs Smith! No one was working early this morning and nothing Friday last week as well. Will pop by again later today to have a look if our cornices or ceilings have progressed further. Re: Ze Roses' Build by Ultimate Homes Perth - Photos Galore! 109Jan 26, 2010 3:54 pm Hi kath The house is looking good! Our front elevation is going to be quite similar to yours so it's very interesting to see how it will look... your windows are interesting though in that they go right up to the eaves. What colour are you having the render painted? (I also can't believe no-one has asked what your interior choices were... so what are they??! ) I also had a couple of questions: 1. Did you have to pay extra for the render? And if so, may I ask how much? We are being slugged about $7K just for render... 2. Is the bulkhead in your theatre 600mm wide? I can't quite see on the plan. Cheers Built with Sw1tch H0mes >Build thread< House status 15/12: Gates and A/C finally installed!

Re: Ze Roses' Build by Ultimate Homes Perth - Photos Galore! 111Feb 03, 2010 2:32 pm Thank you Desmondp and Westy! We are getting our render painted Solver Wildcat and Stones Throw for now. Knowing how fickle I can be, they may be changed again No extra for the render as we gave up one feature that came with our house plan and got it replaced with the render. YES, the theatre bulkhead is 600mm wide! Dragon, we are at plaster set stage now. They started yesterday and looking at how much they have covered, I won't be surprised that they finish by today. Will be posting photos soon..... Re: Ze Roses' Build by Ultimate Homes Perth - Huh? What?Lock up? 113Feb 10, 2010 12:03 am Jealous!! You got those gorgeous doors!!! I just got the normal plain ones. Boo. Looking great!! So you've been completely locked out then? How sad I'm rather sad as i've been unable to get into my own place for about a week now LOL darn tradies and they're silly security habits!! viewtopic.php?f=31&t=22766 - my build thread! Time waits for no man. Unless that man is Chuck Norris. Re: Ze Roses' Build by Ultimate Homes Perth - Huh? What?Lock up? 115Feb 10, 2010 12:33 am Oh I had that whole indiginant look going on too LOL i was highly offended that i'd been LOCKED OUT of my OWN house!! How rude! viewtopic.php?f=31&t=22766 - my build thread! Time waits for no man. Unless that man is Chuck Norris. Re: Ze Roses' Build by Ultimate Homes Perth - Huh? What?Lock up? 116Feb 10, 2010 9:47 am Ooh, nice, and you have feature bits on your portico (i'm a little obsessed with our portico at the moment... ) ... are those bits done in concrete as well? And is that pile of timber etc for your shelving? Built with Sw1tch H0mes >Build thread< House status 15/12: Gates and A/C finally installed!

If you do want to get in, you can put a deposit down on the construction key for $100, and you get it for the day (or over a weekend if it's a Friday) and get the $100 back when you return it. We did that a few times. Also, if trades are there you can go in. There's no restriction on letting you in during business hours unless you get in the way of what's there. Re: Ze Roses' Build by Ultimate Homes Perth - Huh? What?Lock up? 118Feb 10, 2010 12:19 pm What?? a construction key for $100? I wonder if that is common?? Re: Ze Roses' Build by Ultimate Homes Perth - Huh? What?Lock up? 119Feb 10, 2010 2:23 pm I don't know, but it sure makes it easier We'd get it when I was on R&R (Fri-Sun) and then the whole time I'm there we could get in and out to show friends, take photos, have a look and also when looking at flooring we could take samples in and compare it to the cupboards. Re: Ze Roses' Build by Ultimate Homes Perth - Huh? What?Lock up? 120Feb 10, 2010 2:31 pm SS has been very good to us and let us have a key so that our timber flooring can be installed before we have handover.
