We decided to get them to do the carpet & tiling, because it'll get us into the home sooner, rather than having to get it done before hand over on our own. We've done a few upgrades: Air Conditioning Caesarstone to bathrooms, waterfall edges to kitchen Butlers Pantry fit out with bench, overhead cupboards & pantry cupboard Victorian Ash staircase & glass balustrade Lowered feature ceilings to entry & kitchen Extra height ceilings to downstairs Freestanding bath to ensuite Pivot door & handle to entry Cavity Sliding door to laundry External door to garage Feature colour for overhead cupboards in kitchen Rain showerhead to ensuite Shelving to ensuite (laminate) Upgrade underlay Double towel rails Gas point to alfresco Water point to fridge space We'll also add downlights & extra powerpoints to some rooms downstairs. My husband is a builder and we looked at loads of project home builders and Rawson stacked up for us. He has looked at their homes in all stages of construction and is extremely happy with their quality of work so far, so we're looking forward to having our home built.

Re: Our Benham 33 journey 15Mar 14, 2012 11:38 pm Wow Smorgzzz thats some great upgrades! Our budget doesnt quite stretch that far at the moment however we shall see how it ends up once we go for colours haha we have done the tap to the fridge though If you dont mind me asking is the Rain Showerhead the big square one? And did they hit you hard for that and the double towel rack? (feel free to PM if you dont want to post costs etc) We also put another rollerdoor on the back of our garage in place of side access took the post out from where the corner of the stacker doors is Removed shelving in the WIR for master as I want to fit it out I'm considering the Caesarstone to bathrooms and also didnt realise that it costs extra to have the different colour on the overhead cupboards in the kitchen (oh well lol) Miss Windsor We're looking at building either a Clifton or Benham at Fern Bay so will be following this thread with interest. How exciting!! Fern Bay is right near where I currently live the Metri*** homes out there are really nice however a tad too expensive lol (The Benham is fantastic ) My very first blog http://benham33.blogspot.com.au/ Re: Our Benham 33 journey 16Mar 15, 2012 5:34 am Hi Miss Windsor I'm looking forward to hearing all about your build! Have you looked through the Sydney display homes? (The Canberra ones are fabulous too!) We have our electrical consult in a few weeks time, I'm sure that will hurt!!!

Fantastic upgrades I'm jealous of anyone with a butlers pantry! What's your block size? Is it in an already developed area? Ally Re: Our Benham 33 journey 19Mar 16, 2012 1:03 pm daveandally1 Your house looks beautiful and the floorplan is lovely look forward to following this thread. Fantastic upgrades I'm jealous of anyone with a butlers pantry! What's your block size? Is it in an already developed area? Thanks Ally! The butlers kitchens are really nice (unfortunately its one of the only things we dont have - however im not much of a cook haha) The block size is 559sqm and our section of the estate is already developed with the exception of a few blocks. They are currently opening the next few stages though so plenty more blocks for sale News update! our check plans have been sent back and now we are just waiting for the estimators to draw them up for council and we put in for the loan and its all looking good so far! Wow its all exciting! Now to wait for our colour consult My very first blog http://benham33.blogspot.com.au/ Re: Our Benham 33 journey 20Mar 17, 2012 5:34 am Will you travel to Sydney for your colour consult? Our contract is on it's way to us!! Electrical consult coming soon! (That's the one I'm worried about!)
