Not very Balinese, I know but the first photo shows the side view of the front of the house withe the patio, wooden beam across the front and columns. They usually show it rendered but we didn't want the extra upkeep. Very, very happy with our bricks. Can't wait til the insides start to take shape.

Went past after lunch and the cement truck was on-site and the slab was being completed! Very exciting as we didn't think things would happen this quickly. We haven't even had a phone call from our SS to let us know what is happening next, so didn't think it would be happening for ages, based on the timeframes of others!

So im guessing all your electrical and colour has been selected? thanx Kt for your photo of your balinese facade, its very nice, and finishes off the house nicely.. can i ask you what your bricks are? Was trying to work out before why your balinese facade looks so different to ours? what design house did you guys pick? as our house will be beachside elite, so our balinese facade slightly different to yours.. but yours looks great, looking forward to seeing our house being built.. i guess that will be the exciting part - seeing it all come together.. we have settled with a balinese resort facade, and up to the bricks chosing.. now looking at pgh bricks, and just waiting to hear if they have any houses in the choices we like to go and check out.. and prices to come back from mjh to see if they are standard or upgrades, other then the $300 fee need to pay for just chosing their bricks over austral.

Building Beachside Elite MJH http://duskdartersrest.blogspot.com Re: McDonald Jones Homes - The new thread 2657Aug 15, 2012 4:48 pm yep, they just finished the bricks. the roof should be done next, and then the electrical fitout before the gyproc etc. goes in. fun times ahead were due for completion on 1st december Re: McDonald Jones Homes - The new thread 2658Aug 15, 2012 5:52 pm exciting stuff, are you happy with the brick choice? thats one thought i have, they'll brick the house up and it wont look like the bricks we chosed.. but in the other thought i honestly couldnt care less what colour brick we chose as long as it doesnt cost the earth in the upgrade costs! Building Beachside Elite MJH http://duskdartersrest.blogspot.com Re: McDonald Jones Homes - The new thread 2659Aug 15, 2012 10:30 pm Hi Duskdarterrest Ours is the Balinese Resort D facade. Unfortunately we couldn't fit the Elite across our block because we are at the end of a cul de sac. The 'elites' have a much grander patio. Yours will be gorgeous. Our bricks are Concord and the upgrade cost us $3000 altogether. We're very happy with them.
