Neville (sales rep) only talked about the external and going to the display centre. Welcome back Ricaaaa. You are only at the tip of the iceberg. Make sure you store lots and lots of patience, as you will need them for the next 6-8 months before any construction starts Nice selection of externals. We thought it was going to be easy selection as well, ended up taking most of the day! Get in contact with your sales rep and ask for the kitchen and internal catalogue, not normally included with the selection folder. it will make your internal selection easier. P.S. This forum is your Life Saver in this stupendous and momentous journey. Trust me on that I have zero patience but lucky my partner does so he should hopefully keep me sane! We are still saving our deposit so I guess on the plus side the whole process pre construction taking awhile is good. Have been trolling the forums for awhile and picked up so many helpful things both in this previous thread and the many others. Thanks for the tip will def get in touch with our sales rep, I believe he's back from leave this week so will give him a call I love seeing photos!!! people please post more Re: Masterton Homes - The new thread 3.0 10Aug 21, 2012 10:37 pm Re: Masterton Homes - The new thread 3.0 11Aug 21, 2012 11:03 pm nope, they give you $50 per day over the 34 weeks deadline. They take 20 days over christmas, so that's min 39 weeks and however many rain days they claim. People seem to get mixed results. Mine was close to 52 weeks.

I mean it is just a fence Re: Masterton Homes - The new thread 3.0 16Aug 22, 2012 2:51 pm Hi all, I'm loving reading all your posts and seeing the progress of your homes as I scan through the hundreds of pages! My fiancé and I are looking to build the villina 41 and start construction next year and we have a few questions I hope you can answer. We haven't officially met with them yet but want to know exactly what we're in for financially etc so we can go into a meeting well prepared 1. How do we find out how all these extras are going to cost us (ie raised ceilings, recesses in shower walls etc) if they aren't in the upgrade packages? 2. Are we able to get an idea of color ranges etc prior to the color selection day? 3. Is there any advice you would give us as we head into it? Cheers in advance Re: Masterton Homes - The new thread 3.0 17Aug 22, 2012 3:00 pm B+K Hi all, I'm loving reading all your posts and seeing the progress of your homes as I scan through the hundreds of pages!

Cheers in advance Welcome to the thread Version 3.0 Some of the questions are answered on the first page of the previous thread version 2.0, found here: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=54119 Prices would have had slight increase, but it will give you a good indication. There are quite a few Villina owners on this thread, so looking the pages and photos will give you a good guide, not forgetting some blogs as well. Enjoy the ride to your new home. Make sure you pack lots and lots of patience Re: Masterton Homes - The new thread 3.0 18Aug 22, 2012 3:11 pm We had the tiler back today to finish tiling up behind the range hood where the electricians damaged the gyprock. I'm sure none of you will be surprised to hear that the tiler has somehow managed to gauge out a piece of our brand new Bamboo flooring. Not only that the sne@ky little scumbag didn't tell us and tried to hide it using a box to cover it. Wow I am so over it now. Masterton can get f@$#%d.

What does the wall tiling gotta do with the floor! How do they manage to be so incompetent! Don't these people have any idea about care and handling of other people's property?! Re: Masterton Homes - The new thread 3.0 20Aug 22, 2012 4:45 pm I built the villina 36, without platinum package because masterton stuffed up my paper work, long story. The initial price on the brochure 280k is nowhere near how much it ended up costing me. I am near the 500k mark to get full OC.
