Re: Building the Simonds Palisade in Springwood SA 90Jul 21, 2016 3:02 pm Congrats on the slab! I am also considering to build the palisade aswell (saw the display at seaford meadows and loved it), I was wondering whats the cost estimate for your build?

I am also considering to build the palisade aswell (saw the display at seaford meadows and loved it), I was wondering whats the cost estimate for your build? Hi, We're going to be building the palisade too. The things you need to take into consideration are if you're wanting it like the display, i.e, high ceilings and six slider etc, these items really add up. You also need to add better insulation to the roof which they don't tell you Building with Simonds in S.A Re: Building the Simonds Palisade in Springwood SA 92Jul 21, 2016 3:46 pm Marshall5858 fooSA Congrats on the slab!

Marshall, do you know the upgraded high ceilings and sliders cost? I got a feeling that just those 2 and a double garage will go way over my budget already feelsbadman Re: Building the Simonds Palisade in Springwood SA 93Jul 21, 2016 4:34 pm How's the build Risachan?

The high ceilings throughout house are $7305, the cathedral ceiling is 10,304 and the sliders are 5,177. The double garage is included. If you like the 2 Windows above the sliders, that's another $809. If you like the square set cornices, they are another $704. As I say, it all adds up Building with Simonds in S.A Re: Building the Simonds Palisade in Springwood SA 95Jul 21, 2016 9:02 pm Hi fooSA, Thanks Marshall5858 is right about the costs to do the raised ceiling and sliding door upgrade. I did all of the things listed above, and so spent quite a bit over the base price. Feel free to PM me if you want more specifics 2016 is going to be AWESOME!

Things have been cruising along nicely for the most part - I am just incredibly time poor! We are now already past lockup stage (though I have yet to be invoiced for it- fine by me!), and tiling and cabinetry started this week. Looks like we are well on track to be done by mid September, even though the PCI date on MySimonds keeps jumping back earlier and earlier. I'm starting to upload all of the pics to Photobucket, so will upload here shortly and I'll try and be a little more frequent in my posts! How are you doing with yours now Marshall5858? 2016 is going to be AWESOME!

Contracts to be signed on the 5th Building with Simonds in S.A Re: Building the Simonds Palisade in Springwood SA 98Jul 21, 2016 9:36 pm So the frame went up pretty quick after the slab, and then it rained. And rained. And everything has just been covered in mud. There is mud caked in all the tracks of the sliding doors. I have been assured that any damage will be repaired or replaced. It better be for the cost of those doors! Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ This is where the ice creams will go...
