This might be better to do through PD if you can, I would imagine there would be companies that replace/update balcony rails but I wouldn't imagine it would be cheap.. you might be better off doing it through PD that way its in your mortgage and you don't have to come up with the $$ to do it later. ...

We were lucky, the 2 pilars and cross beam were included in our promotion so we only had to pay for the garage.. This is definitely something you can do afterwards :)

We originally went with the upgraded stairs (as displayed in Riverwalk) but it was a little bit our of budget (think it was around $11k) so we went with the silver chrome balustrade which saved us $6k - we ended up just spending this in other areas. I couldn't justify that extra money but we ended u...

Very wise decision! Charlton is, in my mind, the best house out there :) I can't provide advice on the landscaping package as we opted to this ourselves after handover, but I am interested to find out what it includes. The sinclair facade is lovely, we were considering this one until we realised how...

Hi there, Congratulations on your upcoming appointments and build - it is such an exciting time! I can't help with the landscaping and drive package as we opted to do this our self afterwards. Let me know if you have any other questions though :)

Funny you say that, we originally signed up with Henley single story and the price kept rising, when it hit about $330k we realised we could build a double with Porter Davis for only $30k more.. We are beyond happy we found the Charlton. Good luck with your build :)

The render is priced differently to the facade cost so the facade won't increase, but you will be paying for the render separately. In our promotion, we had the 2 pilars and the centre cross beam included so we only paid for the garage render which cost $1500. Here is a pic of what our facade will l...

Hi Orchis, Congrats on building the Charlton, it is such a beautiful home! For us it wasn't as issue with including it the home loan, we just forward the Carpet Call quotes together with the PD contract to the bank and they approved us based on us spending the combined amounts, it was actually prett...

Sorry for late reply :) Hi firsthomebuilder101, No we didn't get charged any extra for the flooring because we are not doing them through PD, but no even when we had it in our quote it didn't appear to be more than than the $9990 flooring pack we selected - and we did the same structural upgrades as...

We are also building the Charlton 33, we start next week if the weather stays nice! All up our Charlton cost about $365k not including flooring, the floorboards we fell in love with at WOS were $30k and we are getting the same floorboards and carpet for $13k through Carpet Call. We found the contrac...

I don't as yet but I am thinking of setting one up, I just don't know if we will get time to update it often. We had a one day appointment, the first half was tender, the second was contract. I complained after that we weren't given enough time to review the final price and make necessary changes an...

We were lucky enough to sign up the week before the bumped up the price. They did try and put the price up at Tender but because we signed up the week earlier they had to honour it. We start our build on the Charlton 33 with extended kitchen/living next week, let me know if you have any questions.
