The puzzle is soon becoming a picture......
Finally, our SS has advised that we are almost done, and a PCI (Practical Completion Inspection) will be booked shortly to run through the house in details. Also having an indepent inspector to go over the work in detail as well.
Early to mid May, had the interior painted a few coats as well as the stairs, followed by the tiles to ensuite, main bathroom and powder room which is about 90% complete. Need the tiler to return to finish off niche tiles as they had to order extras. The tile work is quite good and happy with the majority but have questioned some issues and will have them brought up in the PCI.
End of May we finally got the fences removed and site cleaned up. Balcony has started with the Spotted Pine floating floor now visible. We are having the ceiling of the front entrance under the balcony finshed in spotted pine.
Bricks to side of house and exterior ender has been clean and painted. We are very happy on how the colours have turned out.
Early June, our lovely garage door has been installed in the timberlook coboa which has definately complimented to colours of the exterior. We are very stoked of the colours coming alive.
SS provided us the contact for the landscapers and got some additional work done on top of the driveway and porch. We wanted extra concrete the side to house as there isnt much sun there and is often damp after the wet weather. Waiting for the guys to return to do the sealing. We had paid to get some ag pipes done on the side so that water travels to the front garden. We also got some excavation work done in the rear to level the ground around our boundary.
We are certainly happy with the driveway, porch and side finish in the graphite grey colour.
We are really into the rustic, chic and retro look and focused around that type of styling.
As we are in "lock-up" and unable to access the house. We were fortunate to arrive onsite to see some tradies working and took advantage of taking some pictures.
Anyways, heres some updates in pictures, enjoy.

Love the "rust" look tiles in your shower, we used them as our kitchen splash back, they look amazing!
ReplyDeleteHey Smorggz,
ReplyDeleteThanks, ah the same is it? We choose the "Corten" rust look for the main bathroom and powder room, it really sets it off.
Yep, ours is the Corten rust tiles too. We used the mosaic ones to trim the edges neat the rangehood.
DeleteIt's very unique.
Your house is looking great! Not long to go now...
DeleteI am also building with Rawson and was wondering whether Rawson did your driveway and porch step? I don't like the precast concrete step that is standard and was hoping to get a coloured concrete step that connects to the driveway like you have.
Hi jb1984,
ReplyDeletecongrats on building your house! It is not an easy task :)
Yep, we had our driveway and porch step done with Rawson. That was included in the standard. We paid the driveway guys extra to do the side.
We are not quite happy with the colour though. We chose Graphite and the actual colour turned out to be a few shades lighter...
