We chose our stone bench top from the standard range and it was about $4k. Our kitchen is also smaller (Verdehlo twist), so I'm guessing the price difference must be…

Hey Daniel2ya,
When you say "added gas main" - what do you mean by that??? We have gas hot water and gas cooking, but noticed our gas hasn't been connected yet…

Daniel2ya,
Because you deal with the tile shop directly, I would just go back to them and ask them to add it to your order (don't even bother going thru B'wood).…

Hey Scott, I didn't even think of this as an issue when I was doing my tiling selections. I'm so disappointed, it looks so scrappy. Hopefully they at least touch…

AcreBuild (or anyone else who has built with BW already),
I visited our house today and had a quick look at the tiling in our bathrooms. I'm a little concerned about…

Hey BekNjohn!
I'm not sure where you are up to, but We were able to make internal changes up to the point of our colour selections/contract signing appointment. It was at…

Hi penny! Good for you for getting them to work on their price, I bet that was the best $400 you've spent!!!
Love the idea of stacker doors to the terrazzo,…

Aww sorry Dave 
Not sure, maybe we've had better weather? 
What is your PC date??

Nervous Dude, from memory mine was $440 too. This included trenching to the connection point (i.e. across the front yard) and 2 x phone points.
This was done as part of…

Acre, was "inter" in the comment above a typo? Should it be "a full brick height under"? If not, can you explain what you mean by inter? (sorry BW aren't…

Oh the Chiffon is nice - that's really similar to Truffle too. Acre, did BW mention anything about the granitgard termite protection? I' m sorting out my driveway now, but…

Haha Wiz it's "smoko" - you gotta respect that!!! 
Fingers are crossed for you that this wet weather goes away!!

AcreBuild - a better photo to show all the colours. I was very worried about having a dark brick, dark roof but I think it works well because of the…

AcreBuild, our bricks are PGH Truffle and they certainly weren't an upgrade when I chose them (sept/oct last year). I actually wanted lighter bricks at the time but didn't want…

Thanks ThreeBoxes 
once the build started, everything moved along really quickly. Our kitchen and vanities went in, followed by painting, then tiling. But I…

Gahhhhhh I just went for a sticky-beak (yes locked out and in the dark!!) - my living room tiles are in and so are my bench tops!!!! Tiles look good…

Thank you Wiz!!! I'm so happy with it! My next "nervous" thing is the kitchen: white doors, slightly off white bench with charcoal glass tile splashback ... Hoping it all…

Thanks KThoppo, we are pretty excited and happy with it all! We were giving an approximate timeframe if end of July for practical completion.
The only work left to do is:

Just out of curiosity, what are some cheaper driveway options?? We are spending about $6k on concrete but not sure what other options there are (aside from the obvious!)

Edit:…

We are doing coloured concrete. I'm not sure what the difference is between exposed aggregate or normal, but I definitely want the one that has the colour mixed thru rather…

Aimlou, what other colours/materials did you select for your kitchen? Splash back looks so good!

Whoa! Three months is extreme!!! What is your block like??? It's strange that they are asking for a contour survey upfront - unless you are on a particularly steep block?

Hey Ereon!
I would send an email to Beechwood following up the tender. If they say two weeks, it's definitely not rude or pushy to check up on it when its…
