Tiles

Went to Beaumont Tiles and got a formal quote to lock in the january sale prices.

Looking to lay a Porcelen full body rectified edge tile which is about the most expensive in terms of extra charges to get Metricon to lay.

By my calculatations Metricon is going to charge $105 per square meter to lay.

I can get my own tiler to lay them for $55 per square meter.
With 80 square meters to lay thats a saving of $4000!

Tip: Do you sums and make sure you know what it should cost!

Preliminary Contract Signed

Signed the Preliminary Contract, and paid them some more money.

Final Contract will take up to 4 Weeks...

People weren't joking when they said it takes 6 months to start building.

I call it the Metricon Merry go round paper work saga.

Preliminary Contract

SC presented us with our preliminary contract.

A few issues, e.g. site costs and door and window changes required.

See the floor plan we changed from the standard e.g. garage and outdoor area.
