Hi Edy,
We still have plenty to do. We are living between 2 houses so our new house still has a long way to go. We are still trying to…

Hi Nat83
We upgraded to the 2.7m high ceilings and found those to be fantastic. Looooove high ceilings. Our ceilings may be 2.9m - 3m in the areas…

I am sure it will turn out beautiful Sunshine202. Your selections look great.

Hi sunshine202,
Your selections look great. We have a couple of things similar to you. We too went 2 pak for the kitchen and colour matched to polar white…

Hi Tahlia,
Thanks. We are really happy with our house and the quality of our build. We are from Newcastle but built on the mid North Coast and the…

No we had to pay around $3,800.00 I think, from memory, for the concrete. I wish it included the concrete!

I just had a look at the Lyndhust and it looks like a nice floor plan. We got thrown in for free the Actron ducted air conditioning, the alfresco…

Hi Tahlia, I think you could choose some nice tiles from their standard range but I don't think they have porcelain rectified tiles in their standard range. Rectified tiles…

Hi Tahlia, we stayed with the 20mm stone benchtops in the kitchen and upgraded to 20mm waterfall ends at a total cost of $2,160.00. I just love the waterfall…

Sorry to hear that daley229. I guess it depends on your site supervisor. We had a great site supervisor, Adrian. He actually asked us what we…

Hi Chanupg, It is a great feeling when you finally get put on that Construction List. Very exciting times ahead for you guys. Our house commenced on…

Hi Linda,
The completion date given at the beginning of the build is generally just the date MJH need to complete the build by before they have to start paying liquidated…

Hi Phil 94, we have quite a few awning windows in our house and we love them. I just love the look of them. We also have…

Hi ZerinShobnom, our bagging and painting didn't get done until towards the end of the build. When the painters came they did the inside and outside of the house…

Your house is looking great. For us, our pre-tiling inspection was mainly to make sure that they were the correct tiles. We also wanted to speak to the…

Thanks Dreambuild12, I think the exposed aggregate driveways are lovely. We tossed it around for ages ..... will we go dark .... will we go light .... will we go…

Hey Linda,
We went the exposed aggregate and are really happy with it. I was really nervous about getting it because I have seen some fantastic jobs and some really…

Hi Phil,
I don't think the A/C changes when you upgrade the ceiling heights. We too got the 2.7 ceiling heights and didn't upgrade the A/C and the A/C has…

Hi Phil,
We got the Actron SRA173 (17kw) 3 phase system which included 2 zones and 8 outlets. The only thing we upgraded was the shape of the vent in…

We built the Monte Carlo Executive with rear activities and got quoted for both height ceilings. We got our keys in…

Hi Spronkly,
We had 2 guys and I think, off memory, it took them about 2 weeks to brick up the house.

Wow Lisa, that went really fast. Your home has come together beautifully. It looks stunning. You must be so happy with it all. When will…

We are the same as Sally & Craig and went the cool white downlights and added dimmers to nearly all of them. The dimmers are fantastic. So…
