Color, Tiles and Electrical Appointment (Simonds Gallery)

Having signed up with Simonds Homes last month we were given a CRC (customer relations consultant) who will be our contact at Simonds. They also sent through login details to the MySimonds website. The website has all the details of the progress of our build, shows us everything that we have completed and every step to come. The MySimonds website is also loaded with videos explaining all the different stages and what is happening behind the scenes and seems to be updated in real time as items are ticked off the list.

On wednesday were to attend our gallery appointment. This was a full day booked appointment 9am-3pm in which we would make many many decisions, one after the other after the other and so on! While there was a lot to decide on it was really an enjoyable day. The consultants were really helpful and helped guide us through the process without trying to 'sell' which was lovely. The first thing we did was go through our electrical plan. Our consultant took us through the house plans and we added some down lights, extra power points and tv points (see the picture below).

The blue were existing standard lights and existing wiring and the red are extras. The double line circle are downlights and the single line circles are standard lights. The little arrows are power points (single & double).

Next was my wifes time to shine, the gallery items which included
Bricks
Roofing
Windows
Garage Doors
Colorbond
Kitchen
Bathroom
Doors
Flooring
Appliances
Basins
Tap Ware

So many decisions! Below is our choices:

We also chose our tiles which I don't have photos at this stage.

Overall this was a fantastic day that we thoroughly enjoyed together. Our excitement levels have stepped up another notch as we move a step closer to building our future home.
