They dressed their homes using Coco republic which is insane.

Its probably obvious to you as you're in the trade and know how homes are built - what is standard in volume builders and what isn't.
This thread was gold for…

In principle but the work would still need to be done .. depending on the type of soil and the results, including any changes you want to the house,…

We did our build with them 3 years ago and confirmed the site costs at tender as you say.
By memory they provisioned an amount of money for site costs based…

Short answer is yes, absolutely.
Do it, you won't regret the decision. It makes the home look that much bigger and spacious, instead of cramped.
I would also suggest making the doors…

Done

Are you building in Melbourne?
We asked for the same thing, but the finishing carpenter installed all the skirting anyway. You should make sure your site supervisor knows so they don't…

I'm going to put a plain epoxy coating on the garage floor between Christmas and New Year's. Getting it from here:

Here is the driveway and paving. Done on Tuesday, but not quite finished.

Oak floors went in today. They did an awesome job, and no quad!
Carpet next week, then we're done just in time for Christmas.

Congratulations on finally finishing your build. Did you buy that champagne or was that from Porter Davis? All we got were keys and a handshake on Friday

Anyone been to the coco republic sales at the displays? Worth going?
What are the prices like?

It will be...it's not about the sound but the vibration. That travels through studs

Thanks, bit of a relief. It is getting close to Christmas so our options were limited

We are paying over $11,000 for exposed aggregate driveway, but our garage has a 9m setback, and we estimate about 85sqm in total, just for the front. Not sure if…

Recently got a few quotes for our crossover (which included moving it slightly from where it is now) which was between 4,500 - 5,800.

We went charcoal on the walls, and castle grey on the ceiling in ours.
Soundproofing plaster (13mm) and insulation in the walls

The one thing that did start getting old on me were the excuses. They were so practiced and polished. Always had an answer for every single little thing.
I'm going…

Love the photos and the two tone kitchen colours!! You must be very excited to live in!!

Hi everyone,
We had our pci for our Madison 45 this past Monday.
We upgraded our stairs to traditional 5, as we loved the stairs at the display in point cook…

Add a sliding door between the ensuite and wir. If the gap is too great, shrink it (which also gives you more hanging space!)

Seriously, buy the worst house in the best suburb you can afford. New carpet, curtains and a coat of paint can do amazing things to old homes ...and they have…

Hi mik...
How'd your PCI go?
Have you moved in? Enjoying the home? Any surprises?
Our PCI is on Monday, I'm not sure what to expect or what I need to check…

Hi everyone,
Home coming together now and apparently will be finished before Christmas. We've had a few problems along the way, but nothing too major (they had to repaint the house…

Hi ashik,
What type of security camera setup are you thinking about getting? Analogue, or POE?
We chose poe, so at our electrical appointment asked for 6 external network cable pre wires…

Boom

Hi Madison 40, interesting that you went with single pane glass windows for the living room...really like it!. Our kitchen and stairs are now installed. Scaffolding will come down shortly,…

Do you have photos of your ceiling battens / floor joists to the top floor? Do you have insulation in the ceiling?
If they are solid, it's going to make running…

Yep, but I would expect importers are available in Sydney as well!

Fat shack for vintage and industrial lights if that is the style you're looking for.
I'm planning on importing lighting from Feiss, which has a huge collection of lights, through Richmond…
