External Selections

Tuesday 26th March 2019

We went to our first official 'Selections appointment' This is where you make your final decisions on the house and write them into the building contract.
This was the first of  3 appointments, this one covered all the external choices for the house.

So starting with the colour choices.
Roof - Colourbond, Monument and at this point we raised the roof a 26' pitch

Walls- Bag&Paint, Shale Grey- we went ahead and bag&painted the entire house as we could not find a brick that we were 100% happy with

Pillars- Bag&Paint, Basalt

Eves- Surfmist

Garage Door- Dynamic Ranch, Basalt

Windows- Pearl White, We also added flyscreens to all windows/doors except the bi-folds and front door

Front door- SavoyXS24, Caoba stain, We increased the front door size to 2040(h) x 1200(w) and made the glass in the door translucent. We upgraded the door handle to a "Trilock Omni Allure Lever 890ALLSS"

Sliding and bifold doors- Pearl White

Water tanks- Colourbond, Monument

 External colours

In this appointment, we also chose building preferences.
- 60mm Foil blanket for the roofing panels
- R4.1 Ceiling insulation
- R2 Wall insulation
- Added R1.7 sound screening insulation to the master suite and the theater room walls

At this point, you also select major electronics/plumbing that will require structural changes.
We have ducted Aircon throughout the house with the added Wifi capabilities to control it from your phone.
We have a ducted vacuum system throughout the house with an added kickboard port in the kitchen.
We have an instant hot water service so no more waiting for hot water boilers and no more running out of hot water after a bath.
We added a gas point to the living room for our fireplace.
To the alfresco, we added a gas point for the future outdoor kitchen and also a 'rough-in' for hot and cold water and a drainage point.
