Signing of Building Contract

Building Contract Day has arrived!

Met with Sara Amorelli today at 2pm to sign the Building Contract and in addition we went through the plans to see if there were any errors whatsoever.

Added and changed the following as a Post Contract Variation:


  1. 2 x Flush panel hinge doors - One for the Laundry Storeroom and the other was for the BED 1 Walk-In-Wardrobe (WIR);
  2. Delete the 'Manhole' to the garage;
  3. Relocate of the air conditioning unit;
  4. Relocate Gas Hot Water System;
  5. Relocate the 4000L rain water tank;
  6. Change the size of the aluminium sliding window for the Home Theatre;
  7. Deleted the aluminium sliding window for the Laundry and replaced with an aluminium awning window; and
  8. BED 1 Balcony Slide Door replaced with French Windows.

Cost of the Post Contract Variation: $2,356.00 (This amount is to be paid at a later date)

Balance of the 5% deposit was also due today, totalling $28,065.40

Once we were all done, we decided to have a selfie with our Tender and Contract Presenter Sara Amorelli as we won't see her again, so thank you Sara for all your help.

Eden Brae Home - Day 2 Appointments

Image
A Job Well Done! With James Treble (Left) and Amy Tanner (Right) It was a rather interesting day today at Eden Brae with our Interior Designer James Treble. We completed the following appointments today: Tiles and Carpet; Plumbing; and Electrical. We also revisited Kitchen Culture to take a look at our quotation and also took another look at the colours for our home. Tiles and Carpet - Dilorenzo Tiles We completed our tiles and carpet at Dilorenzo Tiles in Castle Hill and we were looked after by Anna.  James helped us greatly with our tile selection and carpet.  For once we were able to keep within the allowance with the carpet, except we paid $8 per m2 for the best underlay available.  After working a long day, I'm sure everyone would agree that coming home to lovely and comfortable carpet is important.

Disaster Strikes at Dilorenzo Tiles!

After an entire month of waiting for our final quotation costs for Dilorenzo Tiles, I decided to make contact with them after their long break over the Christmas and New Year break was over and was heartbroken to be advised by Dani Caruana, the Castle Hill Showroom Manager that Anna who looked after us at our appointment has left and did not hand in our file. She delivered the bad news to me this afternoon to advise that we would need to come back in to choose all our tiles again. We contacted James Treble with the bad news.  In actual fact, we were really surprised that he took it well and advised us not to panic.  We agreed to meet up on the 31 January 2017 at Dilorenzo Tiles to go through the process again.
