We have built the Daydream 32 and are looking at putting in ducted air conditioning. What brands and types of systems have people gone with?
Thanks 😊

Wow such a long time since my last post.
We have been in our house since the end of October.
We absolutely love it and the area. Packing and unpacking hasn't…

We moved into our brand new Coral Home end of last year. We absolutely love the layout but to me the home is still lacking in warmth. I would love…

I'm getting a little jealous of all these builds starting...but excited too. We are finally in council and will hopefully have a start date soon.
We stayed home over the Easter…

Here's my eldest playing soccer on our block
Sorry about the sideways photo again!!!

Hooray finally our land has settled!!
Did have a slight hiccup when I received a call 1 hour prior to settlement saying that the money was sitting in the wrong account.…

Thanks for the tip.
$12000 is crazy. I can't believe how expensive Clipsal is. I don't understand why the sales consultants only suggest putting $3000 aside for electrical???
We will…

Thought I would update about the grouting just in case anyone wanted to know the prices.
I ended up upgrading the grout for the entire house (Magellan grey for the kitchen,…

Sorry I haven't been on too much lately (two sick kids = busy me)
We are building at Riverstone Crossing at Maudsland.
I have started a thread. Not much is happening…

Thanks for the tip. That might be the way to go.
Definitely sounds better than driving into Brisbane by myself with a baby and a toddler.
thanks for the tip

They are still holding appointments at Varsity but are fully booked for the next 2 months.
I have been told my best options are going to their Brisbane office or over…

Has anyone been to the Clipsal showroom at Southbank?
Just wanting to know whether it's worth dragging hubby and the kids up there.
We will be owner supplying lights and fans but…

Off topic but does anyone know where a help function is on the forum.
All my photos upload sideways or upside down.

I think that's what we will end up spending too. Did you owner supply or just have Coral supply it all?
Oh well no point in having a beautiful house…

How did it go?
I ended up delaying making the appointment so many times that now they aren't taking any more appointments at the Varsity Office!

Does anyone know if it is expensive to upgrade the grout?
Also does it stain as easily as the standard cement grout?
I just realised what's the point in spending $5k extra…

I think we might have the same consultant (Holly) as we are building not far from Gainsborough Greens. I wish I was only coming in $900 extra. So far it…

Sorry if this has already been answered (I have tried searching but can't find anything) but does anyone have an electrical plan they can share?

Our main floor tile. This is the only photo I got (was aiming more for the code than the tile). Beaumont didn't give me a sample either.
It was in…

We are building on the Gold Coast.
I am also finding the electrical confusing and expensive.
Our sales consultant said to set aside $3000. That is no where near enough. …

Here are our variations with prices included:
We went with the Designer package but upgraded a lot of things.
Luxury Display home option 1 (floor tiles) $2499
Luxury Display home option 2 (carpet)…

Thought I might update.
Sadly we are still waiting for land to register (it's technically only a month/6 weeks behind schedule so I shouldn't complain).
We have signed the contracts, paid the…

Hi
I am building a Daydream 32. Contracts have been signed, tile and colours have been picked (Yay for Mary and her help).
My big dilemma is the electrical plan (and…
