We went with 2.7 down stairs and 2.5 upstairs. Worth the money to go 2.7 for sure.

Have you considered just running out an auction and seeing what happens with that?

Have you got a link to your ad at all?

They might be doing the bulkhead out of the cabinetry?

I assume it bleeds like Merbeau when it’s wet and unsealed. Up to you but I’d go with Cutek and you will love the result. Water pretty much beads off…

What type of timber is it? Merbeau? Cutek is a good brand that I’ve used on large areas of Merbeau and it lasts well in direct sun light. Don’t go…

We built we Metricon for our first home back in 2015 on ththe Gold Coast. We were pretty much an entry level house with them and found we sort of…

That’s good. Looking on austral they might be around $300 per 1000 bricks more than the standard ones we have to pick from but I’ll know for sure on a…

Thanks for that. Was it much of a cost from a standard selection brick? I’m building with NuTrend on the Gold Coast.

Can I ask why the name of the dark colour we bricks are? We’re looking at going the same colour but can’t find the name of them. I’ve found industrial…

I’ll definitely hold back with having those high expectations for the time being and wait it out haha. Get that house sold 👍🏻

Yeah you’d think second time around it’s a lot easier haha. weve has major headaches for the past 3 and a half months with our builder but finally got there…

Hopefully once you have sold and finished the new place you look back and laugh at how you got there. Crazy how they can just walk away and you have…

That’s so unlucky. Sometimes it goes good and sometimes it goes bad. We did 7 day building and pest and 7 day finance but our buyer didn’t need finance so…

Oh ok not building far away then? We not long sold in Coomer Retreat and snagged a 1000m block around the corner otherwise we would have looked over there. Hope…

Where is your house that you are selling?

Soil was M class and we had a site cut allowance already. We did go for some nice upgrades but it was all pretty much covered in the initial prelim.…

Just seemed so far off that we were never going to achieve close to the initial quote. Most of the upgrades were in that quote. So I have to wonder…

We were initially quoted a base price of $324,000 for a 300sqm double story. By the time we added some desired upgrades the prelim quote came in at $375,000. We…

We’re just about to sign off on our plans and our builder has sprung an addition on our bathrooms. They want to put in a 70mm high tiled hob in…

So what is going to be in that gap now? Surely they can’t leave it empty?

That’s reasonable. We have been given a rough upgrade allowance of 4K for our stair case but we are aiming for a centre Black metal post with wire bulastrade. I’m…

Looks great mate. We’re doing a straight set of stairs also in open tread but haven’t got a complete quote of costing for it. Can I ask what yours was…

I had a play just before with the ground floor but I just have the demo version. Can you draw over your existing plans if you pay for the upgraded…

Some people also hate draughts between the floors and on the staircase
You’re losing me here haha.

It is generally NOT a very good idea to have a staircase facing you entrance door.
At the very minimum, if you decide to sell your house in the future,…

I wasn’t sure about that with the stairs so thanks for clarifying that. I’m thinking that we could relocate the stairs to the hallway which is what we wanted in…

Yeah I saw someone post about that app before and have had some goes at it. Just got to get my head past this floor plan and try and get…

Yeah I’d like the WIR to be straight off the ensuite so you walk through the WIR and into the ensuite and have closet on either side and then have…

That’s an option but I think my partner likes the idea of having a vanity inside the WC also. As I said above I think we will run the WC…
