Our Custom Build - Berowra Heights NSW

So the crew smashed it out today. Most of the downstairs gyprock has been hung. Guest Bed, Hallway, Home Theater, Garage, and the downstairs Living Room pictured. Really happy with the progress and the feel of the spaces.  

Lots happening today.  Milestone item - The Gyprock is being delivered. I'm grateful the weather is doing its part as well. The last of the insulation is being installed today along with the pre-wire of the Solar system. Last but not least,  I had a last minute GPO added. 

Electrical rough-in complete. I'm happy with the job. Can anyone guess where the comms rack is going? A couple little things to button up next week and its onto insulation and gyprock.

Electrical rough-in started today. All the eaves are now completed, the kitchen bulkhead is taking shape, the stacker door is now in spot, and preparations have been made to get the gyprock up to the top floor.

Here's the difference between a builder that is just building to the plan, and one that is thinking of the long term livability for the client. Item 1. Air-con ducting to the lower level. The plan called for the ducting to be installed down a service bulkhead area in my WIR. The duct is larger than normal to cater for the over height ceilings below. Rather than squeeze the duct through the triangle shaped floor truss which would have reduced the air flow, our builder came up with more effective solution to re-route over the TV niche in our Bedroom. We also re-claimed almost 1sqm of floor space in my WIR the process. Most volume home builders wouldn't have even thought about this and just jammed the duct in and moved on with the build. Item 2 - Cavity Doors to the Home Theater. The frame of the cavity door takes up space in the wall so there isn't sufficient space to install sound insulation. Solution, affix 12mm plywood inserts to the cavity frames. These may be little thin

Our cavity door internals were installed today and the painting of the Render Façade is now complete. Frame Inspection tomorrow and then its onto Electrical

We are now officially doing inside stuff! Aircon ducting.

Big day today. The final portions of roof are being done along with the Portico and Garage sections. Had a joke with our builder, told him I'm going to submit a variation to rake the ceiling in the Kitchen, Living, and Dining. He asked for a defribulator.

The Scaffolding has been adjusted and the Facia and Gutters for the remainder of the roof completed. The removal of the scaffolding also allows a first look at the true space in the Garage and the downstairs Living / Dining and the Kitchen. Loving the huge ceilings. Roof scheduled for next Wednesday. Electrical rough in and Solar System on the 18th. Looking good for Gyprock by the end of August.
