In Perth with Summit/New Gen you pay the bills. (just stating in case anyone else searches this topic )

met the bricky on site, he wasn't impressed with the concrete work because the footings are way too big. So hopefully it may just be a storm in a teacup.

just read through our contract, nowhere does it state they'd build such a large wall on our lot, nor can I find any detailed area plan stating there needs to…

We are on a corner cottage block and the developer has just started building what they call a "standard brick peir wall" We weren't consulted on the design or anything,…

thanks for that. I got the fridge, and the body is a few mm smaller than the doors too so it should fit easy now.

they are through Bull Creek too.. They love green waste, so if you have a garden with a lot of leaves and other green stuff that is rotting, clean it…

Hey,
Our fridge just died, any we are going to buy a new one. Now one model we are looking at is 1m wide and needs 1cm either side so a…

This topic seems so split and awkward.
I'd like to ask for a few extras to be done, but not if it means that the builder will get all shirty and…

are the cracks big enough to see from nearmap? very long shot

any advice on dealing with storm water on a cottage sized blocK? I'm assuming under the driveway is the only way.

If its just a provisional cost won't it come it at zero and you'll get the credit back? Is it just listed because you've chose non-standard tiles?

wow wrexter, looks great! loved how quick your house went up.
Are you going to get an independent building report done?

ahh cheers. thanks for all the prices/answers. Trying to finalise our variations.

what did you end up paying to upgrade the internal doors to the cambridge ones? we went plain, but looking at yours they look good!!

certainly is my issue and not thiers, I'm allowed to be annoyed and jealous though that I missed getting on the property train before prices shot up to unaffordable levels.…

seeing what folk paid for their land a few years prior. Its all about timing. Speaking to anyone who entered the housing market in the early 2000s annoys me.

Hey Wrexter, whats the go with the "wall box for concealed wiring". When/how did you ask for that, I mentioned something similar at our electrical prestart and they just suggested…

this thread just fills me with rage
We got 370 sqm for $235k. Now our neighbours block is smaller and just sold for $245.

Just did my electrical prestart and got quoted $200 per data point with New Generation (Summit) homes. So I just left conduit where I wanted data and will get it…

Hey Wrexter, out of curiosity did they charge extra to go from Formica to Laminex?

the standard in Perth appears to be 28c (2.4m) Most houses i've been in have that height. The one we are building has it in the bedrooms and study.
We've upgraded…

wasn't a free addition, but in Perth I had our builder throw in ~$12 worth of Aircon and Solar Panels for $4k so that was a bargain. I'm sure their…

glad to see your build coming along nicely, gives me more confidence with choosing New Gen.

yeh, the block is too narrow to get that area larger. Its the same as our current hall at home though and we managed to get all the furniture through…

Looking at where I'm paving I'm contemplating either getting a quote for the outside paving to be extended. Or deleting it and getting an external quote and comparing the two.

I guess so. It was part of the provisional costs because he said that the size of it will depend on sidepaths ect.

we've had our crossover included in our NewGeneration contract.. Our sales bloke added it in straight away assuming we'd want it. would give us a $2k credit to remove.

While titles aren't out till end of April we've just got conditional approval for the finance and paid a deposit to the builder to start drawing up our contract/plans so…

Was looking for this exact info.. thanks heaps.

any more progress yet?
