Hey, good choice We did get the off-white mortar with ironed joints. We didn't want the mortar to be a feature.
This is a great link…

Hi,
Our cornices in our home are plain Cove (standard - I don't think we had the option of changing them, but I didn't ask). Our skirting has some detail (NSW…

Wow, that is a great way to "build" your kitchen. I downloaded this as well after I saw your post. I enjoyed using it, but I couldn't complete my kitchen…

I would not recommend telling the people at Clipspec that you plan on getting any of the extra electrical work done directly with the electrician.
I'll PM you.

Thanks We are really happy with our electrical modifications.
The bricks on the facade are utility bricks. They are being rendered over and wont be seen,…

I know it's been a while - I keep forgetting to post . Maybe I'll do an update this afternoon when I…

The brick we chose was from the builders "A" range - PGH Frost (white/cream, non textured). We initially wanted PGH Crevole, but that was from the second most expensive range.…

Ooh, I really like your choices. Love the dark colour brick - every time Mr tyger-eye and I drive around our local estates (yes... we still go looking) we ALWAYS…

How did the colour appointment go? Inspiration pics show some nice colour combos. Looking forward to seeing your choices.
I really like your floorplan layout. The changes you've made look great,…

Went to the house yesterday - the render has been fixed, and the carpenter has finished all of his internal fit-out - skirting (issue fixed - tacked on where needed),…

We are now at lock up! Front door is on, and our internal garage door has been installed. It is now time to finally use our key that Coral gave…

It would be a great idea to get an inspection done at this point, but it isn't something that we have considered doing. We have been at the house every…

Update - We are at the start of week 7 of our build, and we are amazed at the progress. Even though it has been raining most days since last…

Had a pleasant surprise when I got to the house this morning to meet our sparky. Our Brickies were there and a delivery of sand had been dumped at…

I went out to the house yesterday, and our rough-ins for the plumbing and data have been completed, house has been wrapped in sarking, and our bricks are waiting patiently…

jenm - Wow! I had no idea Coral did complete custom builds - that is really cool. No wonder I had no idea which house it was based on. I'm…

Hope it's no too late... Here are my suggestions: I would (and did add) sarking (extra insulation) and if you are getting Coral to do your slab to alfresco, then…

Hi jenm,
That really is frustrating. I can't comment on the price of installing gas, as as our package included a gas cooktop and solar hot water (which we wanted). We…

bgkdavis - good advice You're right! It is very easy to get swept up in the moment, with all of the exciting things that are…

Congratulations on building with Coral. The Noosa is a really lovely home. Looking forward to seeing what modifications you have made. Hopefully there wont be too much "woe" - lol.…

Muppardo - Thanks It really is so exciting to be able to walk through all the rooms now.
Sukabarabikun - The speed at which the house…

Well, I have just had a quick look through what I have posted re: the build - it's been a while.
Here's a quick run-down from last week:
