List of Upgrades

List of Upgrades

We have opted to do our own flooring, going to go with Bamboo flooring throughout the house.
I like the look of the Australiana flooring, See sample of it below


Below is a  list of upgrades and prices quoted

Driveway, fencing, water tank, windows and landscape to be done after handover.

Structural Changes
Boston Facade
Render over Garage
Extend Eaves to 600mm

Alfresco Extension
As most owners of a Waldorf would know the Alfresco area is quite narrow and doesn't allow much room for an outdoor kitchen. After stumbling across a pic in PD website (see below) we decided to opt to extend the Alfresco are to make room for future outdoor kitchen.

We have included a dwarf brick wall between the 2 piers and added Gas/Water/Waste for future outdoor kitchen






Utilities
Add additional tap to backyard
Relocate front yard tap to wall

Misc Upgrades
Heating/Cooling unit HX35i

Cutlery Drawers to be extended to 800mm

All Ensuites
Have not upgraded anything, with the exception of the tiles. The tiles will be upgraded to porcelain as displayed. May think of doing full wall tiles, but will decide during tile selection

I seem to think the new Dream Bigger promo should suffice. Question is, not sure if I should opt for standard spa bath or go with the free standing bath.


Estate Requirements
Recycle Water Connection to all toliets
Screen Overlooking Balcony with 1m drawf wall (not happy with this as it is an ugly wall made out of blueboard and rendered over) But apparently there's no other option. May just wait till hand over and tear it down and put in my own balustrade 

Allowances still to be considered
Electricals
Tiles
Skirting need 18mm to allow larger expansion for floorboards
2100H x 2600W Fix Window with Square set reveal
Upgrade all lower level doors to 2340mm WIN21 
Insulation
