Pre Colour Walkthrough

Yesterday we had our pre colour appointment in Canberra. It was a great day, our colour consultant was fantastic! We got our colour and electrical folder, so many options! My biggest splurge will most likely be the benchtops for the kitchen, if the price is right I'm hoping to have the new Calacutta Novo on 40mm bench.
We are having the full house bag and paint, trying to decide a colour is very hard. At least we don't have to worry about a brick colour!

The House and Facade


We have chosen the Tropicana Façade, with Garage on RHS. We have also deleted the round columns on the front and changed these to square columns, just like the display home.
Our ensuite has the bath deleted, and toilet moved to where the bath was. This them turns the shower into a double shower. It will create a small void at the back of the shower/pantry. We have turned the gap in the hallway to a set of shelves, most likely to be similar to shelves that are in the display homes.

Deposit Variation

Our second variation has come back, no issues. We will now have our first colour appointment next week. Pretty excited about deciding colours! Still trying to decide on external and internal colours.

The House!

We are Building the Bronte Exectuive Grand. A 5 bedroom home with a study, home theatre, rumpus room (man cave), and office. We are having an alfresco added to the design. We have also changed the design of our ensuite, by deleting the bath, and having a 2.2metre double headed shower.

Quotation

We have had a quotation done for our dream home. We were extremely happy with the current offers that we received and saved many $$$$. So late November we paid our deposit. We are super excited to start the process.

Deciding on a Builder

We had our dream house decided in 2013, a large acerage style house with a project builder. In late 2014 we contacted the builder to get the ball rolling! We were very disappointed when we were advised that they will no longer build in our area. We have always had a "backup house" just incase we needed. We decided to build the Bronte Executive Grand by Mcdonald Jones Homes.

Our Land

In April 2013 we purchased our dream block of land, 6 1/2 acres in the Southern Highlands.
