Unfortunately there is no way to know unless:
1. The SS has photos during construction
2. You are able to get a copy of the certification from the company who installed it…

Oh wow JK, I definitely feel for you. You invest so much emotionally into these homes while they’re being built that they really do become a part of you. …

Oh really that’s a bit painful! That’s one thing that I found very pleasing with the build is that we could literally almost choose any light fittings we wanted. I’m…

That seems a bit strange. We’re building in Brisbane (began late July) and we supplied all our own lights.

We saved a few thousand dollars by supplying our own lighting as opposed to using the default ones they supply at the electrical consultation. They wanted $100 per downlight to…

Had a very good outcome Bumblebee. Reading through these pages, a lot of people have had the full range of experiences with Clarendon. I think a lot depends on the…

It’s a Wentworth. We changed a heck of a lot though. The WIR was a 5th bedroom/nursery. Then joined the existing wir amd small bathroom into a bigger ensuite. Also…

You can see on the plans that the rumpus wall should begin in line with the top stair. In the 2nd picture (sorry it’s an old one) you can see…

Not too sure. Believe it’s a common wall, however there’s electrical and ac already in place within the wall, so moving it would be big issue. Couldn’t tell you if…

How would you resolve this issue?
Long story short - the original Clarendon plans had the width of our upstairs rumpus at 3.7m. We modified the plans throughout tender and…

We upgraded our tiles from silver range tiles to a 600x600. Think it only cost us an extra $2000 or so to do. It was actually pretty cheap. We spent…

Devestated! Went out to the house today to have a quick look. As luck would have it the back door was unlocked so I went in tonsee the progress our…

We’re building in QLD so things are a bit different up here eg se use Beaumont’s instead of Tile direct. Our tiling started on outbound build yesterday, I dropped by…

I feel for you snow leopard we had the same problem. We initially went with CUA. We paid $530k for our land, but they only valued it at $430k. That…

Anyone done these design for their Landscape yet?

Awesome! Where abouts are you building?

Adding width to the master bedroom also added some length to bedroom 3 which Kid 2 will be happy about, as it evens it up with Kid 1s bedroom at…

We're building the Wentworth also, although we've changed quite a lot.
Saved money staying with Traditional fascade, but changed large front window downstairs into 3 narrow windows - think it…

Doing our build with Clarendon. Def don't have to sign the tender on the day. They advise that it should be signed within 7 days, although have heard of people…

I think a lot depends on how good your sales consultant is. If they are experienced and know how much things cost, then your tender should come in around what…

Unfortunately Gambit it's not an error that can be fixed. I was told at our colour appt that ours would be 2 pieces. Forget the exact measurement, but I think…

We just finished our tile appointment last weekend Buildingourfirstnest. Was generally an enjoyable time, although can't recommend visiting prior to your appointment and getting a few ideas down.
With upgrading…

That sounds about right. I actually thought it was more than that. We wanted the translucent glass for our downstairs sliding doors also. It cost us $300 just to upgrade…

Concerned about it also. If the budget wasn't so tight I'd love to go for the 3 coats. My philosophy during this build is to spend the money on the…

Nicely done!
