Oh that's great.
It's a custom 3x2 design but nothing too crazy or unique.

Thanks for the reply. Lock up stage waiting for tiling/carpeting. Last step seems to be taking a while to get going! They installed the garage door last week.

Hey summitluvin, I'm also building with Summit and wondering if you've had or seen this:
In one of the non-master bedrooms linen cupboard there is a little moisture detecting device (forgot…

Concreting/Liquid Limestone in Perth

Hi all,
I have almost completed my build in Perth and still require a driveway, paths and alfresco area floor coverage.
I honestly don't like how plain concrete looks at all but…

I will give them another call to discuss this. Maybe they deem it to be an unnecessary step but I can't be certain. Thanks for your help.

As per their website site it goes plate height -> roof framework -> practical completion. I phoned them yesterday and they confirmed this, I believe they still check the slab…

I've signed the PPA and paid the deposit. Looking now to get a few rough ideas of how much carpets, tiling, paving/concreting will cost over the coming weeks.

Thanks for your help. I will suggest a quote for the exposed aggregate and weigh up my options regarding the tiling/carpets etc.

Thanks JP. I'm not sure, it depends what works out cheaper. I think I will struggle to find carpets and tiling cheaper as they are part of the "promotion" and…
