Re: Building with Redink Homes Carramar Wildwood Estate 7Feb 20, 2013 3:39 pm Does anyone have some good pics or a website to decide on front elevation render, roof, fascia, gutter, garage colours??? We're thinking grey/white or brown/white/beige! We have a portico and blade wall we want in a feature darker render Re: Building with Redink Homes Carramar Wildwood Estate 8Feb 20, 2013 4:55 pm We are also building in Wildwood Carramar We decided to go with a modified version of the Aspen by APG homes. This is what the front elevation looks like http://apghomes.com.au/homes/display-homes/aspen Would also recommend looking at rural building company for "bush" themed elevations which would look good in this estate. Are you building the display spec version of the pacific? i.e. 330sqm? - thats huge, we have sacrifised some of our house size to allow for a bigger backyard. Re: Building with Redink Homes Carramar Wildwood Estate 9Feb 20, 2013 5:42 pm Wow, the Aspen elevation is gorgeous!!! We are building the promo version but to be honest, it's pretty close to the spec version, our total area is actually 335sqm!! So yep, it is big. We had to make some modifications for the shape of the block but otherwise we're happy How big is your block? Ours is 600sqm. Re: Building with Redink Homes Carramar Wildwood Estate 10Feb 20, 2013 5:51 pm Ok, so here is our sketch, don't pay too much attention to the elevation sketch as window frames didn't show for some reason? Our highlite window goes around the corner and we will have a blade wall underneath the highlite windows. We have also upgraded to the 1200mm front door with horizontal glass panels. Desperately need help on window 'style' and colours for exterior!! Re: Building with Redink Homes Carramar Wildwood Estate 11Feb 20, 2013 5:58 pm Yep our block is 600sqm too, we bought in stage 1b and are up on the sloped area. We reduced our house from 300sqm to 259sqm to allow for side access for boat and possible pool in backayrd (can only dream!). Are you going with colorbond roof? I would stick with the white roof, then choose lighter render colors to the front. Choosing front facade colors is one of the hardest parts...... Are you just choosing alternate render colors to front or are you looking to add feature walls with cladding / tiling / stone etc? Re: Building with Redink Homes Carramar Wildwood Estate 12Feb 20, 2013 6:03 pm For some reason I can't attach the plan?! No [img] icon? Yes, we are in 1st release too! We just happened to get this block as it came back onto the market We're on Redheart Road. Yes we want the light roof and would love the stone cladding but are settling for alternate render colours to portico and blade wall. Everything else has been pain free but the elevation and colours has been a headache to decide on!!!

Don't take to much notice of windows on front elevation as frames didn't come through, but we're still deciding on window style anyway Thanks so much soakedblonde!!! Re: Building with Redink Homes Carramar Wildwood Estate 18Feb 21, 2013 12:01 am Great use of the odd shaped block. I look forward to seeing your progress Our build thread with Redink 11/1 - Prestart 5/4 - Slab 29/4 - Brickwork 27/5 - Roof Cover 20/6 - Lock Up 20/8 - PCI 10/9 - Handover Re: Building with Redink Homes Carramar Wildwood Estate 19Feb 21, 2013 12:05 am This is a bit off topic but we are also building in Wildwood Estate however have been told by the land sales and our builder that there are requirements that each house has to meet due to being in a fire zone. We were told these requirements could cost an extra $8000. However we have been unable to get any information from the council, landsales and builder as to what is needed to be added to the homes... Does anyone know by any chance? Re: Building with Redink Homes Carramar Wildwood Estate 20Feb 21, 2013 11:18 am Thanks Munchy, it was a bit of a challenge as we could of had the plan as is if it was flipped, however it left us with no back yard and little pockets of wasted space, plus a lot of wasted space out the front! Originally the bathroom was configured into the odd shape the activity is now in, but like you, we loved the bathroom in the pacific so we decided to swap the activity and bathroom and live with the odd shaped activity, as I am sure the kids won't care!!! But we're going to ask at Prestart if we could add a highlite window in the activity along the slanted wall...not sure if its too late! We also changed all windows leading to Alfreso to sliding glass doors as it was quite a reasonable cost interesting situation what happened after builder issued final invoice? did you list as defect or not does the building surveyor have any responsibility? ie. issuing… 13 47152 Building Standards; Getting It Right!
