I hope everything steams along for you and we're looking at a nice fat SLAB soon (oh I say pay for the drawer upgrade if it's something you will regret in the future, but also consider that it should be pretty straightforward, and cheaper, to get pull-out drawers installed in a shelf-less cupboard I'm a it fussy about my aethetics, so I'd pay the variation and then forget about it) Re: Mumma's House~Doulton Q3~Variation worth the cost, help? 16May 12, 2010 3:11 pm Hi MM Just wondering how your build is going. We are just signing off on a Doulton Q2 with plantation and building on the Sunshine Coast. How have you found them and are you getting your fascade, driveways, flooring, air con etc done through them also? Do you have any advice for someone just starting the process? Cheers Jacks Re: Mumma's House~Doulton Q3~Variation worth the cost, help? 17May 12, 2010 7:36 pm Durnania Hi MM Just wondering how your build is going. We are just signing off on a Doulton Q2 with plantation and building on the Sunshine Coast. How have you found them and are you getting your fascade, driveways, flooring, air con etc done through them also? Do you have any advice for someone just starting the process? Cheers Jacks Well the build hasn't actually started yet, you can see my time line an earlier post, but hoping to get the retaining done by next week (it's a huge job) and then we'll finally get everything going. So far have found PH pleasant enough, the pre-build took forever, they took weeks to take care of PCVs and then weeks to draw up final plans and then weeks again to change and draw up new final plans...so that part could have been better. Now that we've moved to production they have been great with communication, even though nothing has happened we still got a fortnightly update and our SS contacted straight away. We decided to do EVERYTHING we could do independent of PH. Everything you have listed. We went with the basic facade Miller. We had them quote us for the retaining walls but decided to delete that as well as they will highly marked up from an independent contractor. We haven't gone with a lot of crazy upgrades as we have a pretty strict budget but hopefully everything will come together nicely. Check out my building blog if you want to follow our build!

I do like all my choices, I am just regretting choosing so many different colors...if it wasn't going to cost an arm and a leg to make changes to my colour selection I'd go with one tile color and one cabinet color.

Our site was cut 27/4, it didn't take long to find and get the retaining wall contractor on site where he started doing his thing to find that the cut was OFF. It was supposedly checked before the block was handed back to us. So...we had to wait for SS to have a look, and his answer yes it was off but not like he just organized for it to be rectified...a few days worth of phone calls between dh and contractor to get in touch with SS. It was suggested we can leave it the way it is,pushed all the way up to the front boundry and dh agreed. Now waiting for the plan to be redrafted AGAIN before the contractor can go ahead with the retaining. But lucky us they let us know that this change would not cause us any addition fee, hello...it is your stuff up of course we shouldn't have to pay!! This is so frusterating!
