Check out our build. I've got photos on page 9. I really should update will more recent stuff we've done since moving in.

We did European oak flooring 12mm. Not sure if I put photos in our thread, can take some more if you’re interested.
Scratches easy, have a few minor dents where…

Sorry been really busy with work over the past few weeks and haven’t really done much else since the last update.
We’ve been held up a bit by the shire…

We didn’t pay extra for bins. Site clean up was included.

We were the basic, however upgraded nearly all items, either as part of the contract or in pre-start.
Some of the prices were reasonable, other verging on crazy. We did just…

The decking we did ourselves after handover. We’ve actually done the one out the back as well, just haven’t had time yet to oil it and then I’ll put up…

We were living just around the corner, like 100 metres away, so drove past or walked past all the time. If there was a tradie on-site, we'd drop in and…

We replaced 2 of our 3 fences with a new colorbond one. We never asked for any money from the neighbours, because we had changed the levels of our land…

Good luck with the fence. We had so much drama from one neighbour when we had to remove the fence and replace it with temporary fence whilst our garage was…

I haven't heard positive things about their tiles. There are posts on this forum about issues with the tiles, specifically issues with keeping them clean. This may be a specific…

Did the grout last night. Black grout is hard work

No we didn't investigate the custom cabinetry option with them. There's been a few posts on here in regards to issues with the Home Group tiles. I don't know of…

We had the same reservations about the Chinese imported Cabinetry. It does look good, however comes in set combinations, which you can't alter as they buy them in modules and…

Yes, done a lot of tiling before.
My grandfather was a builder and my dad worked for him for a long time, so we have all the tools for most…

Did a bit of tiling over the weekend. Grout tomorrow after work. Decided to do black to go with the black fittings.

Starting the alfresco deck next weekend.

Finished the decking today, just have to sand it back a little and then do the decking oil.
Just washed it down to get an idea of what it will…

Built the frame for the portico deck today.
Doing the timber tomorrow, ended up going with Jarrah 140mm wide.

$990 for Black mixers in Bathrooms, powder room etc. Shower heads/rails, kitchen and scullery were extra again. I think all up the black taps throughout we're around $2,500.
The charcoal switches…

They cleaned up the site really nicely as well. Just have to level the front now, plant the verge tree and do the lawn and retic.

Had quotes between $90-$100 per metre. Includes setup, mesh, 2 coats of sealer etc. Earthworks to level and the drainage was extra. All up we spent nearly $9k.

Concrete cut and washed this morning. Looks great!

Bit of an update:
Timber flooring now complete and blinds installed -
Driveway and front pathway poured today (Kajanni White - Limecrete), to be pressure washed, acid-washed and then sealed over the…

A couple of our bulkheads were done poorly by their cheap contractors. At the PCI they said it took them something like 6 attempts to make them level before they…

Doing skirting in all the rooms. That’s the next job after this. Thinking 140mm in the main areas and 92mm in the bedrooms.
After the skirting they’ll come and install…

Really happy with how it’s coming up.
After doing nail down/glue to concrete and then professional sand/polish timber a few years ago I thought this might be easier. It’s still…

The floor level is really good. A few mm you won’t see over that span.
The walls are reasonably straight. Using a string line, you set a couple of rows…

Made a start on the flooring yesterday.

It’s european oak engineered timber.
We’re doing glue down, not floated (don’t like the hollowness that floated has).
We did look at the timber-look tiles, however preferred not having any…

Flooring arrived yesterday and I went and collected it today. Should start the install next week after the painting is done.

Are they still doing the 'Luxury Kitchen'? It does have a bit of wow factor to it, especially when you compared it to what most other builders in WA offer…
