In the end, we only pay just over $800 for all the upgrades, guess we are one of a very few people who easily accept the standard options Our upgrades were:

Gloss finish for wood parts. This has Green and Earthy undertone which gives both warm and cool appearance. Hope it won't clash with our future interior choices Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Beaumont Valencia White, new range, Gloss finish in the 200x400 Wall tiles. Love it.

I feel a lot for you, 5 months waiting for our building finalised was like forever. I still hope once your construction starts, everything will just go smoothly for you. Re: Building single storey Clarendon Kiet 25 in Brisbane 13Jul 26, 2017 2:52 pm I thought, they already started your construction. Anyway, good luck:-D Re: Building single storey Clarendon Kiet 25 in Brisbane 14Jul 28, 2017 2:09 pm rgjain.jain7 I thought, they already started your construction.

Smoothest concrete I've ever seen LOL. The foundation looks huge, I can't even believe our house footprint only covers 51% of our land. Anything I should double check at this stage ?

Re: Building single storey Clarendon Kiet 25 in Brisbane 17Sep 12, 2017 10:47 pm What a hectic time we had. I could not find a proper time to write an update. Change Job, some issues when living with parents (with initial thoughts to save money for house and give them time to be with my baby), although everything has resolved but my head was quite busy for a while. Despite of that, we still visit our place every week, it is amazing just see the house growing everyday like my baby growing. Frame were done just after Slab pour 1 week. Then another week for Roof, then billings were made for both stage ,whoops.

What a feeling. The Brick color actually matches the facia so well, out of my fear that Classic Cream Colorbond would be too yellow. Initially I thought standard Mortar would made the exterial wall look cheap, but turn out it doesn't look too bad. Let's hope that when the brick clean and the mortar dry out a bit more to be lighter. the wall will look even nicer. Although, I still think I will do rendering for the front, to compensate the standard facade. Gosh, if I knew I got a better job, I wouldn't have hesitated to upgrade facade and mortar color.

Not many builders around my estate actually has that apart from Plantantion Homes, Metricon (Not a proper fencing), some others I can't remember. However, for some reason they has left one part of the fencing not locked and we could get into...our house on weekends heheh.
