Have locked in Toffee Fingers and Blind Date. Hopefully these look ok!??!!

malvikcs where are you building?
We have gone with Johns for our knockdown\rebuild. We havent finished construction yet (hopefully sometime next month) but so far everything has gone extremely well.
I…

We paid $100 per meter for the infills... I think it end up being around 12 meters or $1200.

Have also posted this in the Building a New House Forum.. any render\colour experts out there??
Our house if progressing and we are happy with how all the external colours are…

Ok I think I am convinced to use two different colours....

Thanks catjim.... I think you are right all papaerbark would be too much. If we had our time again we wouldnt have rendered so much of the front, maybe just…

Um... at this stage we are thinking of going with Spotted Gum from the entry through to the back living area. We were originally going to have Bamboo - just…

Any suggestions??

Thanks Dove. There a few places around us that have been demolished and are being rebuilt. Think we were lucky to get our bricking done during a period of ok…

Our house if progressing and we are happy with how all the external colours are coming together however we now need to let the builder know our selection for a…

We used Newport bricks and are really happy with how it is looking. Just need to decide on the front door colour.

Received a quote today from the builder to install an alarm system. Includes contact reeds for all external doors (x6), a few internal sensors, phone point, control panel, and the…

Feels like things are moving quickly at the moment, each weekend there is something new to see. Im sure it will slow down a bit when we hit lockup. They…

Things progressing well. Frame complete, bricking almost complete, plumbers been busy.…

We are in the process of building on a block with a flood overlay in place. The overlay meant we needed to get a planning permit in addition to the…

For sure... Looking forward to the next few weeks and some steady progress. Back to see the builder in three weeks to work through internal selections and the electrical plan!…

Things finally starting to move. We have a slab! Thought I would post some pics of the journey so far...

The framing has started. This…

Free and happy to help!

Hi THOMMO77, nice to see another knockdown-rebuild around Melbourne, where you have actually *survived* the knockdown part... I started our thread too early (!) but at the time I…

maybe... 900mm wide and what height? They would be big panels of glass... never seen them that big
There are actually 910mm x 1800mm

Thinking about full awning windows the three front windows are 900mm wide. Is this too wide for a full awning window?

I agree with Erin, option a has more visual street appeal. As for the half-half awning windows - imo they look odd - i've never seen them like that, I…

I definitely like option (a) best. The way they've drawn those windows looks like sliding windows. Does only one side wind out as an awning?
I think option (a) is the…

Been a while since we posted in this forum however have been doing lots of browsing in the background.
An update since our last post...we have moved out of old house…

We have received this updated floorplan from our builder.

We like the design, incorporates a lot of what we are wanting. Just not 100% sold on the bed 3/bed 4/games…

Thanks aaron4erin I like the doors from the rumpus onto the alfresco. The builder is currently revising the layout of the laundry, bathroom and toilet, hopefully that revised layout works…

If bed 3 faces south it may not get too much natural light. Great for a babies room though, if you're trying to get the brightness out
Bed 3…
