love the brom wall!

Nice! Wingzee - do you remember how much your pull-out spice rack cost? Would love to add it in...

Thanks Wingzee! Congrats on PCI can't wait to see more photos and updates from you

After signing the tender with Clarendon in Feb 2017, we have now been handed over to construction!! (delays were cos of our land registration so Clarendon's delays suited us fine).…

I doubt you will be able to get Clarendon to budge on the retaining walls issue. I had the same clause in my contract and it didn't faze me because…

Ah ok thanks a lot. Our original house and land package had the same house, but different facade. The old facade had the same issue anyway so it would have…

So my plans are currently with CDC, and I've just been told by Clarendon that the facade we have chosen does not comply with some CDC regulations, and some amendments…

I second bumblebee - I write down everything that occurs on telephone or face to face meetings (even though I'm not at construction stage yet) and this has already proven…

I am very amused with Clarendon - I got a house and land package with them. My land has not settled (we were just informed that the land was registered…

k3nnis, what colours are your trims and ceiling? I assume the pics above show your walls with winter ice?

just wondering what everyone here chose as your main wall colour? there are so many shades of white!

Building a Clarendon Ferndale MK II

unless you have significantly upgraded the kilara (like added $500k worth or super platinum upgrades), the valuation of the bank usually is quite close to the contract price. no builder…

Thanks all - the below is what I'm talking about. It looks like they are adding a lot of items, but really it's just to shift the laundry from the…

Anyone had any problems with Clarendon refusing to provide a breakdown of certain cost items in their contract? What did you do?
We have an item which provides for the…

Hi Steve, I was in your shoes and I opted to go with Clarendon, because the land I wanted was being sold by them.
I must say that while Clarendon…

Yup don't be pressurised by them to sign on the spot - they just want to save themselves the hassle of chasing you and emailing you but take all the…

thanks lovely

Mrs Llamas - what is the blue feature colour on your entry way and the grey in your study? I love them!!

I think it makes sense that they quote 2600mm measured to the unfinished floors, mainly because the difference between say different laminate, vinyl, timber or even concrete floors are different.…

is the Merriden a new design? I don't remember seeing it on the Clarendon website!
I would say, go see some display homes and think about what you like included in…

Thanks Liam! I've asked the builder and they have refused to install a manhole as I've already sign the building contract :/ So I'll probably have to think of cutting…

Kinda rethinking my choice of cornices and architraves...thinking of swapping to the new york ones from the standard...did anyone here opt for the new york and how much extra did…

thanks Chizcake and aaron! I was wondering if it would look weird if i were to lengthen the top cabinets as I don't quite like the look of too much…

Hi guys, for those with 2.75m ceilings, what was the length of your upper cabinets?

Yeh, you've got it right unfortunately!
Ooh the end's almost in sight though - one more month!

Thanks once my house is actually built I’m pop by again to get your pontoon steps contractor off you - no joke I actually dreamt…

Would like to ask about your pantry fitout - would you mind sharing your contact for the kitchen…
