Hey Beknjohn, what did the kitchen company do wrong?

Ours was 4 weeks from benching to piers, just try and not think about it, it will go quicker

Wouldn't that depend on what happened with your provisional allowances?

The option to have no recess was very difficult to get, then when the formwork for the slab was being done they put formwork around the wet areas, we asked…

The boarding is called plyfloor, you can buy it from bunnings and install yourself before you have your carpet laid. Carpet and tiling is being done after handover except wet…

House is coming along great, first half of he slab got poured 03/09/14 and second half got poured on the 08/09/14, now just waiting for external drainage then onto the…

I dont know why there are such differences in prices, maybe ours was lower because i know allot about kitchens and i told them exactly what to do. They allowed…

Can i ask why you have already raised the height of of your bottom cabinets by 60mm? (btw I work for a kitchen company)

natlyn,
with us the kitchen sits on the slab, which means the height of the kitchen kickboards need to be raised by 40mm, we are having the kitchen kickboards and…

We have all doorways and doors raised 40 mm, which includes architraves so our tiler will be able to get everything at the right height.

We have already thought of this, you should have put boarding under your carpet and underlay to pack it up to the right height, you can get different thicknesses to…

We were charged $217 to raise height of kitchen by 40mm to allow for tiles after handover

11 weeks and counting

We received our first tender mid april 2013, and still waiting for slab to be laid, currently 8 1/2 weeks into our contract, hope this helps.

that is true each to their own, but if you want to be in your home in a rush expect things to be rushed (not finished correctly)

I dont understand why everyone is in such a rush to get into there new homes. By rushing the tradies you will get poor quality finishes, wouldn't you rather wait…

Great photos jazzy, at least you are able to see what they did yesterday now

Sounds good staceycs, we asked for the Deco-Wood garage door to be in Kwila (which is the exact same timber as merbau, just a different name) and the timber above…

Hey staceycs,
For your front door did you ask if the face option of the door to be merbau timber? or is it maple and you are having it stained?

Hi beknjohn
Really like your bricks, we are coming to have a closer look tomorrow afternoon as we went for our colour selections on Monday and the brick we chose the…

It makes me sad because this is such an exciting time for us, our very first build and first own home, and there's things such as uneven bricks that look…

Thanks beknjohn, but with the bedarra being an evolution home flooring wasn't included as part of the tender at the time, Iv read recently that they now come in the…

Thanks, just trying to get everything sorted for our colour appointment, don't want to forget anything if i can help it. Any more suggestions…

Hi, was the $565 for rockwool soundscreen insulation in just the theatre or the whole house?

Congrats Milks, cant wait to be in your shoes

Hi Vijay, we noticed the difference when we went to twin waters in Nowra to look at their display homes. We started looking at Allworth then Eagle homes which both…

Thanks wiz, we deleted it from our tender long ago after beechwood tried to tell us that we needed it to get the nbn ,…

Plans have been approved by council , received our 2 parcels today with heaps of paperwork to read .…

Can you answer this please Wiz, thanks

Hey wiz, glad your finally up and running with the nbn, can i ask you in your beechwood house tender if you got a 'Hills Home Hub' listed in there?…
