Tile Sections

We attended our Tile Selection appointment and I'm pretty happy with our choices. En-suites Floor and Wall tile on the left, and Main Bathroom wall and floor tile on the right along with the carpet to be used in the bedrooms. Close up of the En-suites Floor and Wall tiles  Timber flooring which will be used in the Downstairs Hallway, Living, Dining, and Kitchen. Its an Engineered Hybrid timber floor in Spotted Gum.  The Pattern Tile is the floor in the Laundry and the downstairs  Powder Room.   Porch Floor Tile - Handmade in Australia  We went with Florence Black We also selected a non-slip tile for the BBQ Alfresco in a dark charcoal (not pictured) 

Plumbing and Kitchen - 2.0

The quotes came back for the Kitchen and the Plumbing. Both are too expensive so a re-think and some large amendments are in order. Stay Tuned 

Electrical Plan

First pass at the Electrical Plan. Got a few things to add here and there such as extra external data points for Security Cameras etc, but its pretty close.  

Internal Selections (Part 1)

Image
Attended the Internal Selections appointment on 4/4/2022. The consultant immediately apologised that the order of the appointments was mixed up and that we should have had the internal appointment well before the Kitchen Appointment. We also learnt that at our Kitchen Appointment, we we not shown the builders range bench tops and were only shown options from the upgraded group. We were also not advised the options presented were an additional cost.   It's fair to say that we will need to re-do the Kitchen Appointment. Some of the selections locked in from the Internal Appointment include Entry Door and Internal Hardware, Cornice, Skirting,  Cooker, and Rangehood. We also settled on a Wall Colour in the traditional Grey Palette to align with the theme of the house. We also got part way through the Electrical layout and design and will complete this with a follow up session with the consultant.
