I look forward to following your build. I find it interesting that you have a Colour Meeting and an Intelligent Homes meeting....we just had a Pre-Start meeting, I wonder if that's because we are in the South-west. Re: Custom Dale Alcock Build - Landsdale 28Sep 13, 2016 10:01 pm Enjoy the meetings (and your holiday of course!) It's great fun going through all the colours, tiles and pre-start stuff. Do you have an idea of what you want?

External colours all done, hopefully get some pictures up soon Internal colours/tiles not yet done... Just too much of a choice so we visited a few tile shops to gauge a better idea of whats out there. We have been advised that there are some new styles coming out, and we got a sneak peak at one shop, and we like what we see so we are going to wait as the tile shops are in discussions with the builders. Just a quick question to ask. In regards to pre-start and paying for upgrades/extras who included this in their building contract and through their finance loan? or Who paid cash for these? I was advised by our consultant that majority of customers pay their extra additions/upgrades at pre-start in cash... On another note we signed our building contracts last night and were advised that slab down would be early January. I pushed to hopefully get slab down before Christmas break. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Our Custom Dale Alcock build in Landsdale https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=84665 Re: Custom Dale Alcock Build - Landsdale 31Sep 23, 2016 4:53 pm We already had our finance approved for the contract price of our house so had to pay for our upgrades ourselves. We were required to transfer the money to DAH before they would officially move our job to "construction" phase. You can finance the upgrades but it would mean sending additional paperwork to your bank. Re: Custom Dale Alcock Build - Landsdale 32Sep 23, 2016 5:59 pm We financed everything in on the advice of our finance guy (we used Ian at Resolve Finance.) He advised including as much as possible - all pre-start items with provisional sums for fencing, landscaping and window treatments - knowing that if the bank thought the price too high, then we could always take out the pre-start stuff and pay cash.

It was easy for us though as our land was delayed we did prestart 6 months before our formal finance approval. Also good for your valuation if you can do it that way.

We want to include as much as possible as well.
