Building Aurora Q2 with Plantation Homes: Cabinets are in!! But not all tiling :(

So the kitchen, laundry and vanity cabinets went according to plan. These got installed around Thursday or Friday. The downside is the tiles did not go according to plan. Rick the tiler was saying it's going to be completed yesterday but they only completed the Ensuite and did not touch the Bathroom. Another delay to next week!

We're glad Plantation Homes did not stuff up the order for our kitchen cabinets as we requested the island bench to be at same height with the rear bench instead one being higher than the other (cost us $250 admin fee on the variation for this change along with small change of floor tiles). We also upgraded our top cupboards to gloss finish and the cabinet portrait doors to pot drawers so our kitchen cabinets are made correctly.

A few things they haven't installed this week which we thought they would:

Caesar stone island bench top with 40cm thickness (upgrade)
Shelves for WIR and WIL
Laundry and kitchen sinks (Kitchen sink upgraded to Posh deep 1 3/4 bowls)
Vanity basins

They probably install the above next week. With the cabinets are now in we going to wait for the pantry door and bi fold doors to be stained to rich chocolate color to see how dark the area going to be with the imagination of timber flooring (install after handover) we may need to be very careful with the furniture colours we are buying. Got to say without knowing about interior design at times it is difficult to make decision which furniture is safe to buy early. Some are currently on sale which we don't want to miss out and especially end of financial year sale is coming up soon too!

Here are some photos that we were unable to take at dark hours. We are very happy with the rendered facade. It looks incredibly nice. It still needs to be painted we believe. We don't think the colour we chose is that light!
