Drawings and Site Plans

We've finally received the drawings, shame there's some things on there which we'll need to sort out first before progressing.

As WH are closing soon, looks like we'll need to wait till new year to discuss this with them.

- Master en-suite shower should not have a door
- Change master en-suite wall between shower and spa tub to glass
- Redesign en-suite 3 so the door opens inwards instead of outwards
- Find a solution to home theatre podium and door issue. WH say because of the doors, max width they can do the podium is 1600mm, I need at least 2000mm.
- Add more windows to master

Those are the main things which stands out right now. Will have a closer look over the break.

Now for the plans and drawings.

Slight Change of Tiles

We have decided to change the tiles in our powder room, laundry and main flooring.

Originally we were planning on doing the main flooring after handover, but after finding a tile that we like and wasn't too expensive, we will now do it with DiLorenzo. Less hassle after handover.

Builder, Design and Floorplan

As we were quite happy with our previous build with Wisdom, we've decided to go with them again.

This time we're building the Manhattan 39 ensuite (slightly modified). We have accepted tender and is waiting for our drawings and revised tender to arrived.

Admin side of things sure have slowed down since we built with them six years ago, seems like there's a four weeks wait everytime you make a change.

Below is our facade (Savannah) and rough floor plans that we'll be doing.

Until the drawings arrives, please excuse my attempt in MS Paint.

Here we go again!!!
