Hi @first_home_owner,
Hope I can help you with your last question. We are also building with Clarendon, and upgraded our kitchen cupboards to polyurethane, both top and bottom cupboards, for…

Thanks dotgif! As helpful as always.

Hi dotgif,
Congrats on getting to practical completion! The end of this journey for you is soooo close now.
Our electricals almost blew up to over $10K because we requested a quote…

Thanks dotgif, I will make sure we speak with our SS when we finally get one.
Yep, we saw the Sheridan at the Ponds last weekend, and are sooooooo…

Thanks David. Some of your changes sound quite similar to ours. Perhaps Clarendon should consider altering their standard plan hehe.
We also extended the garage, walk-in pantry and laundry,…

Hi dotgif,
Hope your build will resume soon, as I am keen to hear about your progress.
Just wondering about the request for the extra noggins for wall-mounted TVs. Did you…

Wrexter,
Wow! Your kitchen is gorgeous! Congrats!
Do you mind telling me a bit about your splashback? I love the colour and shine of your tiles. Also, did you use…

Hi David,
I've gone through our final tender and can't find a separate item for each steel beam - we have 2 as we wanted to remove both the side cladding…

We chose the contour tile too but in Ebony, with the gutters in Monument (black) but fascias…

@dotgif - wow!!! Your house looks amazing! So much progress! You must be very happy. I know that the front porch amendments were probably a real pain in the neck…

Hi dotgif! Yep, we signed the final contract at the end of August, however, our plans are not yet with Council because we took ages to finalise our facade, remember?…

Hi gpk,
We recently signed with Clarendon, after a few tender appointments and numerous revisions. There didn't seem to be much room for negotiation, but all up, we managed to…

Thanks for the great tip, dotgif. I contacted Austral and now have a few addresses nearby to inspect on the weekend. Hope to finalise our brick selection by then.

Thanks dotgif. Yep, we went to Horsley Park this morning, and were a little overwhelmed by the possibilities. We also had our eye on the Symmetry Earth but…

We signed our building contract just last week, and have our colour appointment next week, but are having trouble choosing a brick! Doesn't bode well for the rest of the…
