It was all going so well......

This week started off to be a great week, all electrical fit out was completed and the plumber has done half of the plumbing and then our garage door was installed.....

As we have cedar windows/cladding, we wanted a cedar look garage door to match it. We originally chose a 'Timbegrain' garage door in cedar colour. We then talked to the colour consultant and told her we wanted the garage door to match the house as closely as possible and asked if she agreed with our choice. She recommended that we get the 'Timber Coat' garage door in Cedar colour which is an upgrade, but would match very closely. We went with her suggestion and were upset to find that the garage door looks nothing like the cedar on our house. 

As we have kept all the emails re the garage door, we are hoping our SS will help to rectify the issue by either changing the garage door to the one we originally chose (this would have been a much closer match) or by staining our cedar windows/cladding darker to match. 

 I actually like the colour of our garage door, it just doesn't suit the rest of the house



Some of the plumbing completed yesterday

Some of the electrical work. Most of the lights will be changed to down lights, except for a few pendants.

  1. Going to have to contact my SS as well since our colour consultant did the same thing with our garage door. Luckily we only at the slab stage. Hopefully if can be rectified without any fees

    1. Yes look into it before it's too late. I am very disappointed as colour consultants should know what they are talking about- and she was great with everything else.

    2. What's the colour of the stain that was used for your cladding and matrix? Colour consultant thinks its clear and said my tender is dark oaks.

  2. We also had the same issue. Must of had the same consultant. Too late and expensive for us to change the panels.

    1. That's a shame it happened to you too. What part of the build are you up to or have you finished building?

    2. Nearing completion about week 29 . Still sorting out some other issues with some of the trades but our SS is pretty good and hopefully he will fix them.
