FRAMING - GROUND FLOOR
Tuesday, August 18, 2015
The build so far has been progressing quickly with the ground floor frame pretty much complete over 2 full days.
We walked through and was able to identify each room, I was a bit worried at slab stage as the space looked so small. We regret not having a tape measure with us to be able to check door heights, height of shower niches, windows etc.
We did notice one obvious mistake and that was the height of the garage door which should have been 2340mm high (according to our building variation) instead it has been framed at 2040mm. When I raised this with our BC, apparently she had made an error as they can't construct the garage access door to 2340mm high for double storey homes. She will be raising another Building Variation which should see a little credit returned back to us.

Hi, we are looking at building the Charlton, just wondering what size is your block of land and will you have room for a small backyard? Looking great! Cheers Blair
ReplyDeleteHi our block is just under 600sqm. Our frontage is 18m wide x 33m deep so we will have more of a side yard. The grand alfresco has taken up most of the rear space leaving 2-3m to the rear fence.
ReplyDeleteThanks for getting back to me. May I ask another question do you pay extra for the facade or is that included in the price? Cheers!
ReplyDeleteHi Chi sorry you already answer my question in previous post my apologies! I love the design of your ensuite may I ask how much that was? Many thanks Blair
ReplyDeleteHi Blair, the ensuite option we chose was $1900.
ReplyDeleteThanks! My goodness I have another question if that's ok, are you having the floorboard laminate do you know if it's in the standard cost or extra thanks so much you have bee so helpful 😊
ReplyDeleteWe decided to do our flooring post handover. We're getting engineered floorboards for downstairs living areas and carpets upstairs. I recall floorboard laminate being extra. At the time PD were offering a flooring pack for 10K which includes carpets and floorboard laminate for the whole house.
DeleteHope that helps.
