We are building with oracle instead. Can i ask why u chose vinyl for the floors. Over bamboo or laminate Re: CORAL homes 1st build, Marcoola 30 QLD 7Mar 17, 2016 8:52 pm That all sounds great Tegan, looking forward to seeing how your build goes. Noelle, we will be getting vinyl planks but originally were going to get laminate. We were surprised how realistic the vinyl looks and it's put down in planks like laminate and bamboo. It's also quieter, hard wearing and doesn't have the problem of swelling when wet like laminate can. These are the reasons that won me over.

Can i ask why u chose vinyl for the floors. Over bamboo or laminate Laminate, real timber & bamboo don't do so well with getting wet. I think bamboo would look luxurious, but after working in a flooring store, think I learnt that the vinyl floors have a lot more "pros" than the rest and may outlast the others. Vinyl looks very real, is hardy for high traffic areas, scratches, burns, water etc. Can also get the "acoustic" type, and are pretty easy to lay. They come in planks just like timber would, just lovee the timber look. We had laminate clip together boards (floating floor) at one of our old houses and had to replace rooms twice due to water damage, those rooms ended up being tiled! CORAL have so many great inclusions, and we like the finish of their work and the look they go for. The houses never look basic, they always feel homely. The cheap upgrades sucked us in, eg; designer style, steel frame, colourbond roof, high ceilings.

Reason i asked is i chose laminate over vinyl.. the flooring place didnt mention possible water damage... the only wet area would be the kitchen its obviously tiled in bathrooms. ..what advice can u give seeings we've already locked it in Re: CORAL homes 1st build, Marcoola 30 QLD 10Mar 19, 2016 6:43 am NicMac03 That all sounds great Tegan, looking forward to seeing how your build goes.

I did see the vinyl planks in the show room and was amazed at how real they look. I cant change now so will have to be careful of water Re: CORAL homes 1st build, Marcoola 30 QLD 11Mar 20, 2016 1:32 pm NicMac03 Hi Tegan, I love the Marcoola design and your choices are great. We are looking at building a Noosa 26 and love the vinyl planks. We want to get them but are debating whether to get coral to do it through the elegance promotion or get the designer promotion and do the floors ourselves. Can I ask what promotion you went with? So many decisions to make Good luck with your other choices! NicMac03, just beware that the designer style promotion will be finishing soon. (late March, I think.) If that's the one you want, just check out how long it will still be available. Wonder what the next promotion will include?

Thanks Oldies, we have paid our first deposit to get site and soil tests done and to hold current price and promotions, i too am wondering what the new promotion will be - if they have a new one Re: CORAL homes 1st build, Marcoola 30 QLD 13Mar 22, 2016 1:33 pm Hey Tegan and josh.......

Re: CORAL homes 1st build, Marcoola 30 QLD 15Mar 22, 2016 7:24 pm I'm still trying to work out how to start one I'm only on my phone kids killed my laptop lol! We signed our life away on Monday lol Do you know how to start a thread on the app??? Might have to login on safari. CORAL homes 1st build, Marcoola 30 QLD 17Mar 28, 2016 7:08 pm This is our amended plan (still not right) front portico will come forward 900 further. When they flipped it, I think it didn't line up properly. So once we got our plans back they had pushed the entry door in line with the garage which I didn't like.. But such a pain and more $ to change it to be able to keep the 300sq set door in study. So we extended the portico instead. http://i1145.photobucket.com/albums/o507/alexia_armour/house%20plans%20amended%20march%202016_zpsb8ssblam.jpg Elevations ; Sun rises out the back, and sets out the front. http://i1145.photobucket.com/albums/o507/alexia_armour/House%20elevations%20amended_zps1v4euuls.jpg This is how she sits on the block: Clothesline on far right, side access on the left.

Love how you flipped the front I didn't even think to do that! Building our first home marcoola 30 viewtopic.php?t=82565 Hi there, We’ve recently had plans approved to add a 1st storey addition to our existing house for a growing family in Sydney. With the current cost of building… 0 4568 Ask the council if there is a chance of getting build over easement exemption. Sometimes easements are unused and 24cm is not all that much. Good luck. And yes any builder… 2 14634 In Qld it is a requirement that a builder must have a cost breakdown, for building a home to the same specification, with the same inclusions and the same finish. So ask… 1 4615 |
