Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Anyone building wisdom homes ambassador? 13Jun 12, 2014 12:25 am We are also building the Ambassador 41 in West Pennant Hills. We have made quite a few changes like flipping part of the house, adding an extra 2m width to he garage, extend the Alfresco in both directions and completely redesign the first floor by moving the master bed to the front along with the leisure area with access from both onto a balcony. The bedrooms are now larger with WIR's. We ended up getting 5 tenders and decided on Wisdom based on their inclusions and their honesty. We have already had our tender presentation and made a few changes to that and are now waiting on the working drawings to be made up. For those that have already gone past this point, where to next? How long does it take for drawings and what comes after that. Also what facades are everyone going with? We have gone with an option put to us by our original sales person at The Ponds, which is called the Vogue and adding the balcony. Re: Anyone building wisdom homes ambassador? 14Jun 12, 2014 2:05 pm We would like to do a combination of the Sacremento and the Sovereign but are waiting for our tender presentation to see if this is possible? We are trying to justify getting one of the cheaper facades if it means we can get the rear balcony off the Master Bedroom. Do you have any pictures of the Vogue Facade?

We are going the designer facade Re: Anyone building wisdom homes ambassador? 16Jun 13, 2014 9:02 am Here is a photo of the Vogue facade. I think it is from their smart series but we have been told it can be adapted to suit our plans. Re: Anyone building wisdom homes ambassador? 17Jun 14, 2014 2:04 pm @nat879 how much was the upgrade for a/c esp ultima plus we upgraded from the standard to esp plus 3.7K. The model was SRA230 but I see on the actron website they only have the SRA233 now. I see the platinum esp ultima is a single phase, I am buidling a modified impression 37 now 44 so need the 3 phase power. @pfryan we are a little bit ahead of you, getting the drawing redrawn hopefully for the last time. timeframe to start is 4 months after contract signing.

As it turns out they never got to give us an actual price for the Vogue facade as they needed to work it out with the balcony added to the front. the base Vogue facade from memory was only around the $5k plus balcony so estimated around the $15k+. We have since changed the facade to be similar to the Meridian minus the planter box and the big section of brick work on the left, opening the whole thing up. In the end it will look very similar to the house that is used in the PGH Colour Touch online app. http://colourtouch.com.au/ Re: Anyone building wisdom homes ambassador? 20Jun 24, 2014 7:38 pm We asked the question to WH Regarding the Vogue facade today and we're told that they no longer adapt facades from other series as they don't have master plans for them. Which is a shame as we really liked that Vogue facade. Can someone please offer some advice? Im DESPERATE. Because I'm completely and utterly exhausted.
