I already consider paying 10k for the upgrades. You mean you would like to take 9990K package? Take it, it makes sense. IMHO Danshajen They dont want to change M slab to H, (i will try to ask them). Is there need in H slab? If soil allows M slab why should you spend money on H slab? Danshajen We are on the process of reviewing the tender, before paying $9800. Looks like you paid already something. Initial $1200 ? It means that all mistakes you could do, you have already done So most probably you will receive the tender missing some essentials. Danshajen Once i paid such amount theres no way out. Correct. This what I do not like about Casaview. Other builders just ask for $2000-3000 and they produce a tender for you. The tender is valid for 1 year. However, you do not need to increase you deposit to 10K+. Actually once you accept the tender you also are to sign "go-ahead" paper. So Casaview can start doing some paper-work for your building. But it is not mandatory to sign the contract at this moment. Danshajen Do you think they will give me those extras for free before I sign the tender or its anothet additional costs? This is what we are trying to achieve Before signing the contract we are now asking for all required variations. Prior to building commencement you should not be charged for the cost of making/considering variation ($180). Once building commences it will cost: - $180 - actual cost of work - administrative cost Danshajen Btw. Where abouts your lot.

I will sure follow up with them again though. We dealt with Romi also and he was awesome. Been back to clarify on things and is more than happy to assist. We popped into Brindabella and Marvel Ceramics yesterday. No appointment but they still took the time to answer questions. Think we have our kitchen set! So have you signed your tender yet? Or doing final variations? When do you expect to see a slab go down? Danashja - As XYZ said go the 10k upgrades. We looked up every item on the list including price and its worthwhile. Ive noticed most their H+L packages now include the AC since the market slowed but ask for half price if not included. Or even thrown in... Where are you building Danashja? Re: Casaview Homes 18Mar 31, 2016 9:54 pm Casabuild So have you signed your tender yet? Or doing final variations? - accepted tender - haven't signed contract - doing final variations - waiting for total cost BEFORE asking approval from the lender BTW when did you go to the bank for final approval or when you will go ? Casabuild When do you expect to see a slab go down? OMG. This is the very question.

So looks like Casaview wisely decided to include it into H+L. Building Casaview Denison 30 https://fortdenison.wordpress.com/about Has anyone built custom with Casaview in Sydney?
