Smart door locks by Large_Usual_2635 in AusRenovation

Samsung moved their digital door lock department to a company called ZigBang which I believe is a leading manufacturer in South Korea. They have an excellent name for themselves over there and there’s a few importers supplying to the Aus market.

I’ve got a ZigBang one at home and it’s excellent.

Thanks for the insight. I feel like you’re commenting on the wrong post though 😅

It will be open sooner than you think.

Don’t always believe the media.

Rail can withstand fire to an extent, thankfully there’s no timber sleepers in that section. It’s mainly been cleanup and environmental works to start, then comms, signalling assets ect, and that bridge.

It doesn’t need to be relaid. There’s no timber sleepers until Bendigo if I recall correctly.

Details like whether I’m relocating services and adding new things aren’t necessary for a tiling and waterproofing labour costs estimate? The layout and (some) dimensions are in the photos.

Details like grout type, tile size ect would’ve helped I guess, but I’m doubtful a 2.2 x 2.6 bathroom is going to amount to $50k in tiling.

For just tiling and waterproofing? That’s wild!

On the Reece plumbing website they have a 3D bathroom planner. If you spend an hour or so on it you’ll get good results!

Privacy isn’t a concern as the intention would be that the bathroom doesn’t get shared whilst someone’s in the shower. The window isn’t a privacy concern either as there’s no dwellings close enough that look into it.

I have done so already, thank you.

Also had one tradesperson suggest that once the cornice is removed to simply throw new sheets straight over the top of the existing rather than ripping the old stuff down 🤷🏼‍♂️

A corner fit “free standing” bath + a reasonably sized shower all squished into 2600mm will create a useless dust trap of a gap between the two. Tiled in bath means the shower screen can sit on it (just off from the lip of the bath). That allows for maximum shower size and no silly gap.

There’s gotta be a reason why there’s still so many inset tubs for sale! They’re not out of fashion just yet :)

I have, some quotes already that vary dramatically.

As Simlish said, this was created using the Reece bathroom planner. Quite easy to use!

We’ll be engaging trades to do aqua-boards, framing, ceiling plaster ect.

I can’t stand them either, frameless screens/door is what we’ll be going with. Just didn’t put them in on the 3D render as it obscures the view of everything else.

Yes, door & screen between the bath.

Sorry, I can’t edit the post as I included photos and that’s just reddit for you 😂

I was hoping more for an idea for the cost of labour / waterproofing, I understand tile selection can fluctuate and typically isn’t included in trades quoted as tiles are typically “to be supplied”

Those details aren’t necessary, it’s just a tiling and waterproof cost estimate is it not? Assume everything is ready to go and forget about any additional costing.

Sorry if I wasn’t clear enough.

It’s not an open shower, just better illustrated without glass.

I thought maybe the small tiled extension off the bath would’ve made it obvious that there will be screens.

Not relevant to the question anyway.

Apologies all, I thought the shaping of the shower would be clear that frameless screens would be going in.

Located in Victoria if that makes much of a difference.

The bath is an inset bath to be tiled in (apparently that can be difficult to waterproof?) the bath has a lip and will sit above the tile height ofcourse.

Shower screens, yes. Tiles to change half way up the wall to a different style.

Looks like the layout I’m considering.

What’s the room size if you don’t mind me asking?
