thanks for the reply, yes i'm across all that. I was interested to know if the insulation takes the chill off a tiled floor in winter

Hi there
Just wondering if you’ve moved in to your house yet and had a chance to feel the difference in the floor temp with the slab insulation? We are building…

Hi All
we are almost at building contract signing stage with M for our KDR, and for many reasons we have been bitterly disappointed with our experience to date and we…

with your portico, are you getting the piers/columns and roof built as part of the foundation/house structure then concreting later?

thanks everyone for posting this valuable information. M is quoting us the same price. we might get driveway done with M and rest after handover as well. is there any…

What are M charging you for just the driveway?

is that through M or another concreter? does that include driveway? we got a quote through M but they were charging more

you'll probably go yourself then. how did you get such a big discount?

we got quoted appliances 2xovens, 900mm cooktop (both fisher & paykal) and rangehood (sirius). the markup on the best price we could get through retail wasn't actually that much so…

we were told the same thing, can't get credits that are included in promos. but i think its just a tactic they use so clients don't question it. we pushed…

Thanks Drew.
Dany surely they would have to be replaced? Where abouts are you building?

Hehe well we are expecting that but are willing to pay the premium if it’s reasonable.
Do you mind me asking how much tax they were going to slap on compared…

Hi All
We are doing a KDR in melbournes inner north and we have just finished our appointments and have selected the Aluminum 300 series double glazed windows/sliding doors through out…

Good tips Dany, were you able to negotiate these in your favor?

what do people usually do for concreting of driveways and paths? we got M to quote, their price seems on the very high end, 160 sq/m for exposed agg.
if you…

thanks Drew
i think the windows are terrible, when we were planning our custom build i was shopping around a few window places and the quality is terrible compared to the…

my dad did that to his garage and it works really well, i'll be doing the same.

for those who have chosen the aluminum windows from southern star in the monument colour, have you noticed a green/blue tinge to them? we wanted dark window frame but not…

Yeah warranty is where they get you. Not sure if its worth it though, i'd rather waterproof it myself twice over just for peace of mind!

Hey Drew
if you're doing tiling after handover, did M tile the wet areas downstairs?

We just got our preliminary site costs in (P class H2 soil, highly reactive). We are doing a KDR inner northern melbourne.
Our site costs are over 88k. The slab upgrade…

good in theory, if i had one of those it would die of Lego poisoning...

ha, funny you mention that, i'll be getting quotes for a rip a replace of most of the windows once we have our schedule, not sure if its going to…

did you get awnings throughout the whole house? we were thinking of getting a combination of windows in various spots, sliding, awning, louvre, sashless double hung all 300 series double…

bugger about the windows.
what windows did you end up getting? southern star 300 series?

Has anyone got EVOLUTION PREMIUM FLOOR TO CEILING CAVITY UNIT doors through M? https://www.humedoors.com.au/door-systems#29
Interested to know if they are decent quality and what M charge for…

thanks guys, yeah that was my understanding with C of O rules. still going through the prelim stage and nutting things out with M so see how we go.

Hi all
Thanks for those who have clarified some of my previous posts, got a couple of questions for those of you who have done tiles/hardwood flooring post handover, how…

Cool thanks

Hi all
What is the deal with getting floorboards laid with M? Aside from the astronomical cost, if we get them we want then laid under skirting and joinery and our…
