Re: Building our first home 10Sep 28, 2010 4:24 pm Welcome to homeone Your plan is very nice are you keeping with the facade that they have on the web? Re: Building our first home 11Sep 28, 2010 4:59 pm Oh good - I thought they were part of the DAH group, thought it would either be them or BGC. I am in the same boat with colour contrast, I was thinking a dark roof but the builder said it can make the house hotter, so I went back to white. I lose sleep to colour schemes, so I have to write down what I am thinking next to my bed otherwise I would never sleep. I love white - but scared it will look like a doctors surgery, so we have decided to have an lightblue glass splashback to add a bit of 'excitement'... we are finally signing tomorrow so it will be fun to compare - I don't know anyone else on this forum at the same building stage as us.

Hi Jessie! No we arn't keeping with the facade on the website... we also changed that around & added a portico & eaves! it finished it off i think the ones on the website don't look very appealing from the outside. We got the floor plan to how we loved but completly forgot about the elevation... the most important part haha! Now we love the whole plan... inside & out!

We have almost decided that we are going with redcliffe midland bricks and surfmist roof. we are unable to decide tile, benchtop, cabinet colours etc Re: Building our first home 17Sep 29, 2010 9:09 am emjade Hi Sheznay, thought i replied to you earlier but it doesn't look like it posted.... apologies if it did & it's a double up! Who are you building with? have you had any major troubles so far? i read everywhere that people have problems... i hope ours runs smoothly! we are building with Lifestyle homes. We actually went to sign with another builder about this time last year, but we found everytime we wanted to changes, additions it would take a couple of weeks, we started to lose faith with that builder and told them we wouldn't be building anymore. We had a 2nd baby and sort of forgot about it until june this year when we went looking for builders again. Because we are demolishing and building we wanted to exhaust the 'extension' option first. And yes, building was half the price. So here we are, our sales rep is coming tonight with contracts, we want a feb slab. I am very excited for tonight. We are currently in 140sqmt 3x1 house..... the new one is close to 300sqmt.

There is a lifestyle house that has just been built around the corner from us & it looks great! Colours = neutral neutral neutral!!! i don't think you can go to wrong with that & then can bring out colours in furniture & accessories! i know that sounds a bit boring but im going to go safe with my colours, that way in 10 years i wont be like "what was i thinking" haha! Im loving wooden floors but i just realised how expensive they are does anyone know if bamboo floors are cheaper & just an nice or if there is another alternative? Building 'The Haven' with Celebration Homes in Perth's northen suburbs Building contract signed: September 10 Land Settlement: September 10 Re: Building our first home 20Sep 29, 2010 10:22 am emjade- We were going to have timber floors but found it was too expensive (where we live anyway) Instead we have decided on Karndean Vinyl Planks. Not quite the same but the best option for us with 4 young kids amd also to fit in with our budget. The appealing for us is that we don't need to worry about water getting on them and damaging them like some of the other wooden types of flooring- they are durable and warm under the foot. I'm not sure whether something like this might appeal to you Cheers! 7 29995 Can anyone give me any onfo on New Homes WA? Good or bad, hopefully good just need to know if my choice was good or not? Thanks ❤️ 0 9094 That is a really good attitude Akin to you catch more flies with honey than vinegar. I do enjoy watching that tik tok inspector from Victoria but he does go a little… 12 82088 |
