Yes, we went with the Sapphire Inclusions. We then upgraded our Kitchen and Ensuite to Diamond level. Otherwise, sapphire is pretty good. A lot of our upgrades were then to…

Hi Adelz. We looked at the Savannah 40 before we settled on the Sheridan 41. The key factor ended being Clarendon had a better price, and we liked space configuration…

Our block width and house width were similar to Steve4216's, but that is what we wanted, as we are putting a pool at the wider side.
But also creating a…

Wednesday and Thursday our WIR/Robes were installed. They'll be coming back next week to finish off a few small things.


We also had some of our new furniture deliveries yesterday. Today…

Today we had handover!
Lovely set of towels, in addition to the Clarendon Homes keyring. Everything went well, and looking good.
Tomorrow we have the wardrobe install commencing, and we have…

Welcome to both forum and fellow Clarendon builder in QLD.
Did you make many structural variations to the floorplan?
As to the tender I couldn't comment. Didn't even know it was…

Thanks. We went with the 'Dead Sea' colour.

Looks good. Who did you end up going with?

Awww, she looks precious. Great that she is putting on the weight. Congratulations!
Are you both thinking of selling it once it is finished?

Yay! Happy moving in, and getting everything organised. It'll be a busy time ahead, but so worth it. Will look forward to seeing 'completed home' pictures when it occurs.

Thanks Rhetti. We got the kitchen colour inspiration from a Metricon display home we had walked through.

Might be a little hard to unpack but:
$9,880 which was to change from…

Had our practical completion inspection today. They are still finalising a few things, such as the cabinetry in the kitchen and they have to replace the front door.




Get the keys…

That is looking great. You must be super happy with it all. Can't wait to do our own walkthrough.

The driveway, with our additions, was done yesterday.

The goop is now also off the windows.

Haha yeah, we upgraded to the Fujitsu. And fair enough. We intend on being in this house for at least 10 years, so made sense for us.

That is nice and compact. Ours is the beast we expected:

Did you end up upgrading the air-con model?

We got driveway extension and additional pathway concreting through the contractors Clarendon are using for the driveway: . Bonus is Clarendon is letting them do the work at the same…

Well it was a phone call from the SS. Got the official email today. Walkthrough on the 6th, with handover on 13th.
Not sure what else is left. I think they…

We've been informed our handover date will be 13 August.
Not sure when we'll have our PCI walkthrough before that date yet.

Nice! Your frontage must be nice and wide. On acreage?
I guess that is what a long time between land purchase and house design gives you, so much well-thought out…

Wow! Nice plan and impressive extension. Didn't realise they would accommodate so much change. Was it hard to get them to that? And yes, Clarendon does have some nice floor…

Yep. We sure are.

Welcome to the forum. And to Pimpama (we're also building there).
Like the changes to the downstairs area you've made.
We didn't use an independent inspector, but a few on…

We chose the Misty Grey grout.

They've commenced the main floor tiling. Through the window gives somewhat an idea of what they will look like.

There are still boxes of tiles, but haven't checked closely to see if they are simply the unlaid ones or leftovers as well.
Yesterday when partner was there for data cabling,…

Yep guess so, with our high ceilings and the increased door height, I guess the height of the door fixtures will seems lower than normal.

Haven't really paid that much attention, but that is the temporary door furniture. Though I do imagine that is the space the deadlock will go, think it is meant to…

Haha yeah. Partner took this photo today of our entrance:

All the mud!

Thanks
We didn't do floor to ceiling tiling in the downstairs or upstairs powder rooms. Only splashed on that for the ensuite and main bathroom.…
