Will see about the cost for WIR - the cost of cabinets etc always blows my mind!! Re: Redink SOR custom build - prestart 12Mar 27, 2013 4:09 pm Hey - that looks great - I love your colour selection. What did the additional shower head end up costing plumbing wise?? We have an open plan en suite (hobless/ no glass either) and Im putting in 2 heads. Also being extravagant and having 1800mm bath in en suite! Building with 101 Residential in Falcon.

Will see about the cost for WIR - the cost of cabinets etc always blows my mind!! Hi asj25, We did have the two heads put in to our double shower (we're also with Redink), but then took them out - we thought, 'well, if you both want to shower at the same time there's the other bathroom, and if you want a rudey shower you'll both be up the same end anyway'! our bathroom's not very well designed in some ways and doesn't have room on the wall for a double towel rack, so we're putting it at the end of the shower - we're thinking hotel rooms (we don't have a shower screen, just the pane of glass, also like in hotels) - hope it works out that way and not permanently soggy towels and floors! Re: Redink SOR custom build - prestart 14Mar 29, 2013 6:47 pm Haha - all good points mandy67! Yes - still haven't committed to the double shower. It was about $450 to add another shower head. And I really don't know how often it will get used. Wish I could think of a better way to use the space! Re: Redink SOR custom build - prestart 15Mar 29, 2013 6:58 pm Hang the towels at the end of the shower? Doesn't look like there would be many other places to put them.... If its a long shower they won't get wet but easy to get to. Or swap vanity and shower positions. Not sure but looks like it would give you a bigger vanity.... Just a thought. Re: Redink SOR custom build - prestart 16Apr 04, 2013 9:43 pm Am giving up with the ensuite - but your right fmac - had I thought of it earlier I probably would have swapped the vanity and shower. Can anyone confirm something for me? Once you have your prestart changes all costed up and you send them back, does the builder then send everything back to make sure everything is covered? The little disclaimer down the bottom of my prestart costs about expensive variations fees has me worried Re: Redink SOR custom build - prestart 17Apr 04, 2013 10:59 pm You get sent a copy to sign. If there is anything wrong you just write the corrections on it in red ink and send it back We finished prestart in January and have had work done on the block and we are now just finalising some of the electrical plans without any variation fees. Basically as long as it is not structural or anything too major you should be fine. The disclaimer is more to stop people changing things every week or once the plans go out to the trades. If you have any other quetions we may be able to help with let me know. 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: Redink SOR custom build - prestart 18Apr 04, 2013 11:14 pm Thanks munchy - our prestart was a bit of a mess. We only started at 11am - finished up at 5ish but it felt so rushed! Haha. Really didn't get things as finalised as I would have liked - and I went in to it really organised! Oh dear!! Re: Redink SOR custom build - prestart 19Apr 04, 2013 11:24 pm Yeah we spent the whole day there but still felt like we rushed...so much stuff to get done and I was organised too!! I have regrets with our electrical plan didn't think about it enough...didn't even know that we could have quad powerpoints until i saw it on someone else's electrical plan! They would be awesome! Re: Redink SOR custom build - prestart 20Apr 05, 2013 3:50 am when you go again tak to them and ask for variation should not cost you anything at this early stage but then i am with another builder and after my color selection i totally redid my selections expect for paint . i am also supplying my own switches and powerpoints to the house hey nedket, We have a similar lot like yours . just wondering how is it going with your DA application, is the Blue line is the correct solution (offset the rear boundary… 1 9472 You have no photo with your post.
