Haha Brian, you actually think someone would believe this post? You’ve just joined the forum, you have commented on two posts saying the exact same thing about how wonderful Bradford…

Do you have photos of the tiles prior to handover? So that you can show them the problem was there prior to sealing them?

Best piece of advice, get the soil test done independently, or if you pay a deposit that includes a soil test/contour survey, request that they agree to give you both…

I think you are trying to fit too much into this space. I just dont like it (sorry), no linen upstairs would be a deal breaker for me.
Do you need…

Love it! Agree makes the voids look huge. A gamble that definitely paid off!

I’m not sure where you are located, but we paid a company approx $1000 to do a report, this provided us with a few options and we could pick from…

That’s seems much better! Look forward to seeing what they com back with

Also if your backyard is north facing, then you are not making the most of it, you need big windows or doors, instead you’ve got one window! No kitchen window??

What do you plan for the space between fridge and pantry?
I think the butlers pantry looks like an add on the ends up with a wasted corner.
Agree about the double…

What about porcelain panels? They are lighter, quantum quartz also do a 6mm thick panel for walls, assume they wont be as heavy as normal stone?

Good luck, sorry I can’t help. Maybe ask on the Metricon thread.
Metricon seem to have a few problems in Sydney, and if they aren’t being helpful at this point, I’d…

I’d call council and check. Every council would have different rules. $1320 sounds a bit steep though, our draftsmen did ours as part of our DA application, it’s not a…

thanks, we built this home in 2011/2012, we’ve since sold the home, and we are about to build again.

Here is our old kitchen, to the left of the fridge was the pantry door, sorry I don’t have a close up of the hinge, but you can see it…

Sbanu, the hinge was a pivot hinge by hafaele, i think it cost close to $1000, but that was back in 2012.
It looked beautiful, completely hidden, flush mounted in the…

Sorry i understand you want a door on your pantry, i was just saying we had a pantry door on our last house, it opened 180 degrees, you push it…

We are about to embark on an acreage build in Sydney.
The main one is septic, however what we were predicting cost wise, was about double, ie we were advised to…

Do you need the 5 bedrooms upstairs? If not I’d be doing 4 good size bedrooms, rather than bedrooms that would only fit a single bed, however if you’ve got…

We have been renting a house with master above garage, the noise of the garage door opening was annoying, i work shift work, was difficult to sleep.
Also my big pet…

Just out of curiosity what do you do when homes are to big?
Our designer provided a 3D walkthrough which was helpful, I’m lucky i can visualise our home, but at…

Zen where are you building? And when would you want the sparkie

Probably need to give more information such as what state and preferable area you are in..

I think it depends on what state you are building in. NSW seem to have a lot more problems (we also looked at the Denver)

Seems pretty reasonable, assume you will still have additional upgrades (floor to ceiling tiling, upgraded tiles, upgraded kitchen etc) and costs at colour selection time, plus potential site costs, basix…

We are currently renting a new home that has F+P appliances, assume they are all basic models.
The dishwasher is ok, but generally things don’t dry unless you put it…

If you wait and do the alfresco after OC, you will still need to get approval for the alfresco, although you could potentially add a pergola with a clear roof,…

Looks good!

There’s a very long thread on the houzz discussion boards, some love it some hate it...

Our last house and our next house will have a 600mm split, yes the cost is more, however you end up with a flatter block of land and more importantly…

I was talking about the main entry, it’s seems very narrow and long, will be dark.
Also in regards to the suggested en-suite change, if you make the void smaller you’ll…
