Our Ben Trager Build - New photos!

Ben Trager Homes – Ocean Road Estate

If it's any comfort, our door frame is painted dark grey to match render on outside with stained door. Took a while to get used on the inside, but it…

Pretty sure you're estate was covered by e-wire originally (google it). It will deliver tv signal to your home so no aerial needed. Otherwise I used coastal

We dropped out alfresco/verandah to 28c as we extended it in front of kitchen and to follow eave line down the side. It also saved some money.

Oh and I meant to mention we had exactly same experience with 101. Rude and pushy. And standard specs not even close to meeting what we ended up with.
