Trying to source Embelton Daintree bamboo flooring

Sorry to hear this - this is the main issue I felt - at the end of the day they are using sub-contractors for the work and probably paying them…

New Build with Henley ( Palace Q1)

We did go full lighting package and it seems fine to me, though it is hard to compare when I've not seen the next pack down. We did spend a…

Henley plastered our under stair as well, but didn't do any trim around the door. I've posted pics in the other Palace thread of the 'baby door' they installed…

Have you deleted the door from Kitchen to pantry, or does that arrow indicate a slider? I wouldn't have thought the cavity would be big enough for a slider?…

Yes, my advice would be to question everything and get them to explain. We actually did tender twice (two different floor plans) and the second tender was very different…

Also, I found that it always pays to ask again once you get past sales. We had a few things that changed (either could have or couldn't have) when we…

We found facade changes seemed expensive for what you change - we went Broadway (we like the simple lines and we didn't want a balcony) but deleted the render downstairs…

Free double glazing was the promotion on at the time...We locked in our pricing in January 2014 and then got to pick and choose which offer we took as new…

Boy, their pricing jumps around. We scored free double glazing, but did pay the $2700 for wash and wear. I have to say we are very disappointed with…

Double storey isn't really the problem as both the HWS and kitchen are lower level - I was told it was a combination of the kitchen being a long way…

As per my original post, yes. Other places in the house, less than 2 minutes.

Hi, sorry for the delay, hopefully you see this before your colours appointment!!
Under island bench I think was pretty standard - we just deleted the microwave cavity as we are…

Sorry for the delayed response, been away on holiday and hectic at work!!
Garage is fully plastered.

Kitchen is definitely the worst which makes sense as it is probably the furthest away…

Chromagen (the manufacturer) did say it was purely to do with the long run of the plumbing from HWS to kitchen. He also banged on about water pressure and…

Flooring for ours (bamboo downstairs except study/theatre, carpet upstairs + theatre/study) was $8K carpet + $8K bamboo = $16K total, but we went for quality boards and carpet That…

Yes. Henley just left skirting board lengths and we had to do it ourselves. Our flooring guy cut and fitted them and then we got someone in to…

$210 for the door under the stairs. Great little space - the wife put carpet down and we have shelves in there. Henley did basic plaster, no detailing…
