Browse Forums Building A New House Re: My Metricon Bordeaux 56 build 451Feb 26, 2017 8:01 am Doulton777 Vuster Nope not yet. Still have to go to Beaumont to pick the rest. we upgraded for $11,000 for porcelain tiles which is suppose to cover all the flooring. If we stick to the gold range we should be ok. We also added allowance for all wall tiles. But they said if we want porcelain we would have to pay $1600 for every wall in each bathroom on top of $1600. We have 6 bathrooms in total. Thats including the powder room. But Im sure its going to cost us more. It always does. Then once we do tiles and we will get final price. Then take it too the banks. We had to sign the final contract with M before we could go to Beaumont Tiles. Once we did all of this the total tile cost is than added to my contract as a variation. Why don't you call up Studio M and ask them to email you the Colour Schedule of the display home so you know what the exact tiles are? We did this as when we went to BT they don't have the tiles we wanted in stock, once we had our appointment we found out that these tiles in the Hampshire/Somerset were "Not Display Stock" but had to be a special order. Expect to pay more if you are going to select 600x600mm, as Vuster and Dulie mentioned the labour cost for this is huge. Good luck. Re: My Metricon Bordeaux 56 build 452Feb 26, 2017 9:01 pm We Wont be getting the same tiles in the Doulton. It would be way to much you can tell they are expensive. Thats what we did. went to contract and tiles will be a variation. But The tiles we picked at studio should have definitely be put in there. Its too late to put it in the contract now. Not happy she didn't put it in. Re: My Metricon Bordeaux 56 build 453Feb 26, 2017 9:06 pm Anyway I can always get the husband to install up to the wall. As his done heaps of tiling in this existing house. And replaced all the bench tops here with stone and has put all porcelain tiles in all ensuite here.

Really? Our colour consultant ask us first off the bat if we knew what floor tiles we wanted. And if it was there. I told her yeah I know which ones. We went and got them. And did all our colour selection of that. My Metricon Bordeaux 56 build 456Feb 26, 2017 9:31 pm Doulton777 Renman Doulton777 We Wont be getting the same tiles in the Doulton.

And what info they will give you on whatever. What I usually do. If someone tells me something. Particularly my csc. I get her to give it to me in writing. Or email me. So that way I have proof of what's been said. My Metricon Bordeaux 56 build 457Feb 26, 2017 9:39 pm Doulton777 Renman Doulton777 We Wont be getting the same tiles in the Doulton.

That's so weird because we weren't even allow to mention tile appointment until the find plan and contract was sign. They said that they can't do the tiles cost estimation until all the structural design was finalized. I thought it was state dependent but it's more Consultant dependent.

They even took our allowance out of the contract because we didn't pick tiles from studio. Then they said because we didn't we had too put it as a variations after contract. It doesn't make sense that they told you that. Cos that's the reason why they have the tiles there too. So you can pick them.
