Hi Donna - Look for a company that offer a 10-year warranty and a product that complies with Australian Standards. There are some companies that provide a 'kit' for your builder to install to make it a little bit cheaper again. There are also products that have a 'rack and pinion' design which minimises maintenance and eliminates the need for a motor pit - just do a google search for "dumbwaiter rack and pinion' . Good Luck!

Personally , I wouldn't try to sell the couch and buy something else -- the existing tenants have white , but why either spend money , or get something inferior ? Even adding white cushions ( maybe 2 standard size , 2 oversized , one shaggy ) would help . Problem there though -- who wants a white rug , cause thats what you'd need IMO if you went down that route . The kitchen is pleasant , but imagine it with lime appliances ( not the fridge haha ) , or orange or candy apple red . . . . . . . . .

if you check the websites for some of the big building companies in your area you will find hundreds of floor plans...Google Project home builders and you should be able to find plans but also addresses of houses that you can visit to help choose which one you like best
