Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Fowler Homes Catalina 23 - Oran Park Tranche 31 Stage 2 26Oct 05, 2017 1:31 pm We were lucky in the electrical department as my brother in law is an electrician so only had to add a few things thankfully. We just got our Authority to Commence Construction Letter from the bank so finally we are good to start! I am currently 37 weeks pregnant with our second bub so am really hoping to still be able to update our blog with pics and everything thats happening with our build, and to stay in touch with everyone to see how all your builds are going too! Re: Fowler Homes Catalina 23 - Oran Park Tranche 31 Stage 2 27Oct 05, 2017 1:39 pm Jealous!! That wouldve helped soo much! We spent a whopping $12k on electricals ! We were gonna do it post handover but didnt want to have to worry about it as we still have to do floors after handover too. We're just waiting on our Authority to Commence letter so fingers crossed we start soon too! Re: Fowler Homes Catalina 23 - Oran Park Tranche 31 Stage 2 28Oct 05, 2017 1:53 pm Its a tough choice hey, I would love to have everything done on handover but we've got a fair few tradesmen in the family so had to find that right balance of what we did and didn't tackle ourselves. I hope your letter arrives soon!! Re: Fowler Homes Catalina 23 - Oran Park Tranche 31 Stage 2 29Oct 05, 2017 1:57 pm oh wow -- even more jealous now hahaha!! Your build is going to be amazing!! It'll be so handy getting tips and advice from relatives who work in the industry! And thank you - look forward to hearing more of your updates! Re: Fowler Homes Catalina 23 - Oran Park Tranche 31 Stage 2 30Oct 05, 2017 2:24 pm Love the selection of tiles you chose! Were going with your 2nd choice for main flooring for ours. Congrats on the little bubs! It's very exciting times. I'll be following both you and Portofino's blogs! Re: Fowler Homes Catalina 23 - Oran Park Tranche 31 Stage 2 32Oct 06, 2017 1:38 pm Portofino38 absolutely! That's why it baffles me that they only give one day for colour selections. Rushed decisions! Re: Fowler Homes Catalina 23 - Oran Park Tranche 31 Stage 2 33Oct 06, 2017 2:12 pm I know!! I made sure to ask for tile samples from Abruzzo though... the only sample i dont have is the carpet i chose....so im a little bit freaked out over it but i guess carpet is easy enough to change if i really hate it.

You can visit their supplier and ask for a sample. I was doubting my selection months after I had the studio selections appointment so i went to Custom Carpets at Homebush and i ended up upgrading both carpet and underlay Re: Fowler Homes Catalina 23 - Oran Park Tranche 31 Stage 2 35Oct 07, 2017 6:22 am Lemans Portofino38 I know!!

Re: Fowler Homes Catalina 23 - Oran Park Tranche 31 Stage 2 36Oct 09, 2017 11:28 am We paid a visit to the Silestone showroom on saturday. Were set on getting Cygnus which is in the Category 2 pricing. Do you ladies know how much the price difference is to upgrade? and also upgrading from 20mm to 40mm? Re: Fowler Homes Catalina 23 - Oran Park 37Oct 09, 2017 3:57 pm I think my pricing structure is different because i'm on the earlier packages? I bought into the Mio Dolce package which was the highest package before the new packages came out. I think the new packages are better to be honest with the 3 levels available - Deluxe, Platinum, & Emporium. I regret not upgrading to a different Silestone though - we got Yukon for the kitchen. Re: Fowler Homes Catalina 23 - Oran Park 38Oct 09, 2017 5:14 pm Oh I see! I believe the Yukon was available for the Deluxe package from memory. It was slightly too creamy in colour for us though. What would you have upgraded to? Re: Fowler Homes Catalina 23 - Oran Park 39Oct 09, 2017 5:18 pm CW_L Oh I see! I believe the Yukon was available for the Deluxe package from memory.

I would never build with Fowler homes. I built with them in 2021 and till date maintenance issues are pending. All their existing trades and businesses don't work with… 14 105617 Anyone built with Fowler Homes? Feedback? Especially any things concerning or negatives? Have heard some horror… 0 9339 |
