That sounds great. I'm glad you didn't need to do an upgrade because we're looking at trying to keep costs down as well. I've paid the initial deposit now, so I'll keep looking at your posts to get a heads up. Thanks so much for your detailed information. I might start my own blog when things get mo...

I think taking photos of everything you can is a smart idea. I wonder how many try and get away with it.

Ok, thanks for that extra information. We paid for them to do the site inspection when we got our first quote. They accepted that one from a couple of years ago. We're lucky not to be in a bushfire or flood zone and we don't live on a main road. We already have included in the quote to brick the bac...

Yep, that's how it is with my tender. Just gets confusing with so many bits of paper all over the place. I also got a re-quote for it without EasyBuild, but it's not that much less considering we still would have to tile and carpet and aircon the place. I'm hoping that costs won't blow out too much ...

Same dilemma with me. Just about 95% of display homes have sink in bench. They usually don't even have a drainer either. This is not practical as a lot of stuff can't go in a dishwasher. With kids, etc.,we always have mess and dishes. I'm going to try and get my kitchen turned so that it's against t...

OK, thanks. It all adds up .....

Thanks Wazza773. I have checked out your page. Good luck with everything. I know we're going to be in for additional $$$, but just was basically wondering whether it was cheaper to do the stuff in Easy Build ourselves (for what we want) or whether it is actual value for money. It's difficult because...

Hi, we are first time builders. Thinking of building Grandworth 40MKIII with Allcastle. Base price is around $265,000. Quote for Easy Build package is $344,950. Easy Build package includes air-conditioning, ground floor higher ceiling, upgrades to internal features such as kitchen and bathroom and a...
