Builder’s flooring upgrade or separate install in Coogee?

Timber floor in a new Port Coogee home

When building a new home around Port Coogee, your builder will usually offer timber flooring as an upgrade. It’s convenient, but it’s not the only option. Timber flooring in Coogee new builds can also be installed separately after handover, which sometimes gives more choice of product.

A builder upgrade is part of the contract and is installed before you move in, but the product range may be limited and the cost is added to your build price. Installing separately means you can choose from a wider range and get independent quotes, though you’ll need to time it between handover and move-in. Your builder’s contract may also have conditions about changes.

We’re happy to give you a quote to compare against your builder’s upgrade price.

How we install floors in Coogee new builds

Timed between handover and move-in.

  1. Site visit and price

    Rooms are measured, options discussed and a clear quote provided.

  2. Subfloor assessment

    We make sure the base is flat, dry and sound enough for timber.

  3. Settling time

    Timber adjusts on site first, which helps prevent gaps and cupping.

  4. Installation

    Each row is laid and checked so the floor is flat and the joins are tight.

  5. Final details

    Skirting, beading and stair nosings complete the installation.
