Hey Guys,
Has anyone that had a flooring package included in a bonus offer then had it removed for a credit? If so how much did you get? What size house.…

You've gotta be careful with Laminate getting too wet, but as long as you don't leave water sitting on it it is fine. Laminate is a very popular product in…

We've gone with a timber laminate for the majority of the floors and stuck with a standard 400 x 400 tile in the wet areas. We think we'll be happy…

Hi everyone,
Could someone who's already built tell me how CH dealt with your bath pipe work. A friend building with them says they have smashed a big hole in the…

They'll charge you way overs for upgrades. You can definitely get the dishwasher left out and get money back. Not sure on Cook tops and ovens etc. Wouldn't be surprised…

It will look exactly the same as any other downlight like what you see in a display home. There may have been some confusion with the term plug, as though…

I think a lot depends on who you have for your colour selection and if you ask them to look up the price rather than off the top of their…

From memory power points are $54 and downlight $150. To spend $2k on power points means you've 35ish. That's a lot, but I guess you felt you needed them. We've…

I've have done this. My fuse box is located just inside my entry door form the garage. There was an extra charge but I haven't got any documents on me…

Reading back through the thread some were as short as sixteen weeks. I've just been given a new site start after a three month delay, tomorrow! So I'll let you…

I'd get an quote from a local sparky to do it afterwards and compare it to the $150 a light that they charge. Should be cheaper. Then just get the…

Ilve appliances are used by Boutique homes so you can probably view them in one of their displays. Be careful with reviews,typically people only both to review something if they've…

Prices are the same for electrics, although there may be a different costs for lights on the first floor of a two story. the different prices for each range are…

Im nowhere near driveway yet and the last house I built included it, but judging by prices from http://www.1300driveways.com.au/exposed_aggregate.aspx
Anything between $85 and $100 a square meter.…

We just stayed with the Carlisle stuff. There was a laminate and a carpet we were happy with and it was included in our package. You can definitely save big…

For anyone considering changing the size make sure you do it before tender. I didn't realise until after contract and they said no way could they change it, not even…

To be honest its a pretty poor standard size for these days. 90% of the French door fridges which are the fashion are wider than that. I personally don't like…

Yep, 10mm plaster both sides so your gap is 880mm. Also need to allow some breathing space. I totally forgot about it and now can't buy the fridge I wanted.

Just make sure they don't delete the dishwasher provision.

A lot of stuff is cheaper to do afterwards but remember you've gotta allow the $'s to be spare. Also, make sure whatever plumbing is needed and electric is done,…

Just make sure that any changes you make during tender are reflected in the contract. Mine was fine, but someone else I knew had heaps of changes and they weren't…

Our permits were pretty quicks couple of weeks maybe but it depends on councils. However we are sitting around waiting despite our temporary fencing bring up since the last week…

Carlisle do not to landscaping or driveways, so once you have a rough set out of the house on the block, contact a landscaper and get a quote.

We've gone with Chestnut but or second choice was buckwheat, they are similar tone. Chestnut was 1A when we chose it.

Can't see how anyone can do fixed price unless it there own land as every block is potentially different. Unless they are fixing it as an average and ripping half…

We were happy with our site cost, but had no rock so har to compare. Do you have quotes from other builders that are base on the soil test and…

I can't see them giving you any compensation. Did you own the land already or was it house and land package. If the survey pegs have been placed incorrectly how…

Barramundi roof tiles are standard, well the colour is, depends what you do with the profile of the tiles that changes the category.

Would have been a promotion at the time. Effectively it's a $500 discount overall. Every promo has something going for it.
I never asked about bricks over garage. I'm not…
