Thanks, that's very helpful.
Do you happen to have any pricing on various electrical/data point options? For some reason, the Carlisle sales reps are reluctant to provide pricing on any of…

Hey there,
The Canterbury Grand looks amazing!
Were there any issues adding the window to the pantry or ceiling speakers?
Did you extend any walls/add doors anywhere?
I'm looking at the Dorchester 42, but…

I just saw the Colorbond option on the Spectra site, just not sure if it is a no-charge option or if it comes at a cost.
I understand that the salespeople…

No recent love for Carlisle?

We're thinking of doing another build - a double storey, possibly with Carlisle - and the salesperson has knocked us back on a couple of things we've asked about, such…

I was way, way behind so I finally did a mega blog update, check it out (in my sig).
As for the Austral Pepperwood, we love it! See our garage wall…

Updated electrical plan (some minor power point changes)

Temp fencing is up, hopefully see a flurry of activity this week!

Not exactly - but at our colour appointment we just put our flooring/tiles/paint/etc. swatches all together and took some photos. Did a separate one for the kitchen, bathrooms, laundry and…

Any reason not to do all 5 of these?

Pre-plaster

Building permit is in! Hopefully site start in the next week or two. Can't wait.

As above, but I would suggest a registered cabler - not all sparkies are registered cablers and don't necessarily know the details of data cabling requirements.

Thanks for the info.
We'll be running the rest of our cabling (data/coax/speaker/HDMI) after the sparky has rouged the electrics in, just before the plasterboard goes up. Much easier than after…

Can anyone confirm what the "standard" NBN package provides in the garage?
We have three data points (one behind each TV area, basically) - are these just terminated on a 3…

Well, we got out soil test results - H1 - but we have fixed site costs so no difference to us. Land has titled and we have taps now!
Also finalised…

Yeah, they'll order the soil test straight away, and site start should be within a few weeks of settlement.

We were originally looking at the land titles coming through in August, but today I got the dreaded news that the date has slipped to October due to the weather…

Finalised our electricals and signed the building contract today. Here's our (hopefully) final electrical plan.

We've asked for Clipsal pushbutton LED light switches throughout, which need to be priced up, and…

Received our contract and final drawings today. Not surprisingly, there were a few things that need to be fixed:
- Manhole to be moved to garage
- Swap portrait door and dishwasher…

My wife and I are building the Henley Monaco Nouveau Q1 Mk2 in Cranbourne.

Hi all,
Quick intro - my wife and I have been on this journey for about 18 months already, and we're a couple of weeks away from signing contracts with Henley.…

Both

Out of interest, what are they doing, and what kind of saving over Henley doing the same?

More that the cost of land increases significantly with increased block width...

Thanks Initially I was thinking south facing, but with the bedrooms facing west they could get quite toasty on summer afternoons.
East facing, the big windows…

Damn. I really like the look of them, but I think the blue LEDs would clash with our desired colour scheme. Will have to keep my eyes open for something…

Do you know if they are available with a white LED rather than blue?
