I have not heard any of the sound bars at all but I myself am in the market for one.
One place I started looking was this buying guide (scroll to…

Suh, that is indeed a gorgeous backyard.
May I know how you came about designing it? Did you engage a landscape designer, or just a landscaper + your instructions, or…

Yes very useful quotation thank you very much, we are thinking to go down the modular wall route ourselves.
FWIW we've got something like 25+meters of wall to be done, and…

Yes, spot on. That was our experience with architect-designed build. Except I believe we appoint council as PCA or something like that...
Here are our actual, more detailed steps:
1.…

Thanks!
Yeah maybe we'll do a thread when things get more interesting!

We're not very far into this, only the slab has been poured so far.
The journey so far has been nothing but painless! Big credit goes to our chosen builder…

Ah that's right: my figures do NOT include architect fees and all that.
If I were to add up all those on top of my head now (architect fee, engineering fee,…

Wow is Melbourne that much more expensive than Sydney?
We're building an architect-designed house in the Sydney Hills area. I admit it's nothing fancy, certainly no floor-to-ceiling windows, but it's…

Sweet Home 3D.
Free, with lots of extra downloadable textures.

This info is probably not much but here's my only "experience" with Alucobond:
I too love the look of it very much and requested it to be fitted as the garage…

Hi, sorry for digging up an old thread.
Have you got any pricing schedule for the Createc ultra high gloss range already? How do they compare to plain white polyurethane…

Hi Jason,
Are you happy with the Createc kitchen boards? They look fantastic!
Also, did they cost a bomb?

Thanks L a bunch, you're tops!

The latest CHOICE magazine puts Circulon as its best buy.

Ahh... is this thread dead already?
I was about to ask my kitchen to be drawn up...

Thanks for the reply!
How MUCH more do you reckon, for a reasonably sized kitchen (as per pic)?

Hi guys,
Which product(s) will give me that timber-look finish for the kitchen cupboards? See attached pic.
I know of only Laminex. Is a laminate durable enough in the long…

a) PERSONALLY I don't think it's that big a deal if the brands are matched up, as long as the overall "look" is somewhat matched. I suppose the easiest…

BUMP
My architect listed Roselea as one of his recommended architects, although personally I haven't met them yet. Care to share the experience?

NICE! I thought custom built would cost a lot more, I guess I was wrong...

Thanks D&SG! Did you mean $10k per SQUARE (instead of sqm)....
Is that pretty much a "finished house" i.e. inclusive of site costs, complete tiling, etc. etc. ? Excluding…

I'd guess you need to convert the PDF to JPG first before uploading.

If you don't mind me asking: you guys building with custom builders, what's roughly your per square meter cost?

I visited the source site above. Wow talk about anything and everything electromagnetic; it's a publication totally dedicated to electomagnet sensitivity. Readers can draw their own conclusions by…

Ed, do you happen to have a paper or link handy to the irrefutable radon daughters phenomenon?
I could find various sources on EMF vs. cancer, but not so many on…

Hah my bad thank you for clarifying, I got caught up in my own "worries"

Thanks leesy that's somewhat reassuring...
I agree on the resale part; I think our piece of land was valued slightly under, so it has already been priced into I suppose...
The majority…

Some previous discussion about this:

Hmm... I wished I had read about this before. I had just settled on a piece of land, about 70m away from the base tower (the actual lines run…

We are in the middle of finalizing specs/prices with a small-volume builder ourselves. As others have pointed out, you have to be aware what is/is not included in the…
