Internals Well Underway - Lots of Photos

Ok Prepare yourself for photo overload.

To summarize our selections included the following

  • External Bricks are Bowral Solid Dry Pressed Murray Grey
  • Gutters: ACE gutters in Monolith color, or otherwise known as Monument
  • Roof Tiles: Boral Contour Gunmetal 
  • Window frames were in surf mist
  • Internal Doors: Corinthian Motive Doors Motiv MOTP 3D
  • Front Door: Corinthian Infinity INF 8G 2340 x 1020 Front door
  • Polyurethane Cabinets in Gloss Taubmans Struan Grey, along with bevelled edges and flat profile.
  • Countertops are Ceaserstone Osprey
  • Round bowls chosen for the sinks
  • Floor tiles in all wet areas are Di Lorenzo DL10254 not sure of the actual name

Overall I can't fault the workmanship, there are a few errors that need to be sorted but nothing major. We had a broken door, as well as a niche done incorrectly.

The only thing I would have changed at tender time would have been the provision for waterproofing of wet areas. I'm not a waterproofing expert, but would have preferred the entire area had been waterproofed, and not just done to the minimum standard.

I'll add that the waterproofing is done this way by the majority of builders from what I have seen, with the exception of a few.

Other things I would have asked to be changed would have been.
  • Recessing the power box into the brickwork
  • Recessing the gas heater into brickwork as well.


All of our internal doors including the robe, pantry doors are 2.3m 

Laundry door is standard, and we may change it later on.
