B.3 · The estate corridor, east

Blinds, shutters, awnings and curtains in Thornton and Chisholm

Master-planned streets, young households, and houses designed around an alfresco slab. Out here the schedule almost writes itself: darkness for early bedtimes, cordless operation everywhere small hands reach, and the western edge of the outdoor room closed against the summer.

B.3a The family spec

Cordless first, dark where it counts.

With little kids in the house we schedule cordless or motorised operation as the default, not the upgrade. Where corded products are chosen, we install them to the mandatory child-safety standard: no reachable loops, cleats fitted high, the installer's label attached. It is the law for every installer, and it is also just the right way to fit a family home.

Bedrooms get blockout as standard thinking: honeycomb blockout where the room runs hot, dual rollers where the same window has a day job too. The child-safety standard, plainly.

B.3b Field notes

STOCKAlmost entirely standard houses: Chisholm's streets have close to no units at all. New and near-new frames, clean square reveals.
HOUSEHOLDSA young-family corridor. Cord safety, nap-time darkness and wipe-clean wet areas come up in nearly every measure.
DESIGNOpen-plan living opening west or north onto an alfresco. The outdoor edge is a standard row on the schedule, not an extra.
USUAL ROWSCordless blockout rollers in bedrooms, dual roller to the living glass, track-guided mesh on the alfresco, aluminium venetians in the laundry.

Gillieston Heights, the furthest row out.

The newest streets in the set, and the same story a year later: the house is finished, the fence is in, and the windows are still wearing sheets. One measure visit catches the house up. If you are building and want the schedule ready for handover week, say so in the enquiry; measuring at practical completion works well.
