Hi Tano,
Can you please develop not sure I understand?
I attached the strata plan for reference.
Otherwise things are going well, roof covered on week 11, working on the inside now, dividing fence went in yesterday, couldn't claim half of the cost as neighbors stated the previous one was a sufficient fence, which is fair enough, found a contractor to supply colorbond and install for $65pm.
Attached update pics from the 5 of March.
Cheers.

Hi Tano,
It applies to all lots on the survey strata deposited plan.
3 lots and one CP lot = 3 lots with one third of interest in CP.
Cheers.
Oh dear jaylo haven't you decided yet? I would have thought you'd have done prestart and selections before build commenced.
Laminate or stone.
What is the floor?
I dont like image 4. THose overheads cabinets should go to the ceiling instead of the cornice and the tiles look too dark. Also, wouldnt it be better without the skirting in the fridge recess so you can push the fridge in deeper?
Im starting to like the 20mm stone benches without the 40mm lip (first few pics).
I'm hopeless with Formica colours because I usually use Laminex but I like the colours in those kitchens pictured - though like Tano agree that cupboards must go to ceiling
My colour suggestions
bathrooms: cast concrete bench top and snowdrift white doors - goes well with grey and white tiles in bathroom
or ribbon ash benchtop and cupboard doors all laid horizontally
Kitchen - essastone new basmati with Snowdrift Gloss

I also like ribbon ash personally however I try to stick to neutral choices as much as I can as it is for a rental.
Otherwise on the property management side I'm throwing some lines in order to get the units up and running as soon as possible, I'm happy to share the following estimate of fees from a property management company I had in mind, this is quite pricey as you can see:

Even though there is depreciation and deductions it is quite a hard one to swallow.
I wouldn't employ them simple on their **** maths
Annual Management Fee - $1605 p/a maths correct
Annual Admin - $132 maths correct
Internet - $165 correct but stupidly high. I pay 'max $30 per vacancy'
Pro Photo - $115
Letting Fee - $880 I pay 2 weeks plus GST so 2.2 wks is probably correct
PCR - $253 does not last several years like they state as it needs to be done at the beginning of each tenancy. I pay $165
Lease Renewal - $220 I pay $88
Routine Inspection - $308 they are using 4 inspections plus a final inspection in this instance. No 4th routine inspection should be done if they are leaving at one year. Maths fail
Final bond inspection - $110 I pay $88
Total - $3623
Percentage of gross Rental collection - 17% p/a
Maybe I'm on a really good wicket but I think those items are too high and flawed.
I also alter my agreements to do 6wk inspection then every 4mths there after = 4 in the first year then 3 every year after.
My photos from the first year will last 2-3 years.
Have a chat to Tom Cooper at TC Realestate - he looks after my Westminster properties so is familiar with the area. He may be more competitive.

Went in yesterday to finalise cabinet handles/colors and tile colors.
Went for the polished porcelain 600s platinum for living area and ivory and a mozaic dura glass and stone for bathroom. Very neutral.
http://www.tiles88.com.au/
Any ideas on the following items?
- internal wall paint: wattyl A1W magnesium
http://www.wattyl.com.au/en/explore-colors/find-ideas/interior/Bedrooms/design-5.html?preview=true
- paving: stonewash silver
http://brikmakers.com/gallery.php?type=pavercolours
- garage door: surfmist tuscan
http://www.gliderol.com.au/design-centre/
All these things should have been done at prestart and the builder keeps coming at me and rushes things it's fairly unpleasant even though I'm happy enough overall.

I'm hesitating between charcoal and silver for the stonewash pavers: my elevations are fairly light and bright with the surfmist roof and charcoal would be a nice contrast I reckon, perhaps silver would be too bright?

I noticed a few light shaded colorbond Balga units which sold pretty well had darker/greyish pavers:

http://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-wa-balga-118317171
http://www.realestate.com.au/property-villa-wa-balga-117026315
Is there any rule of thumb for elevations/paving colour contrast?
And the likes I sort of gathered:
- gutter fascia garage door same as roof
- no more than 3 colours on elevation

Tenants cars will drip oil and so will their bbqs. I'd probably go with Grey or Charcoal
Jaylo
with polished porcelain tiles did Tiles 88 mentioned anything about scratches especially since you are renting your villas?
