Hey mate,

I can remember the exact figure but we were quoted by the builder over $3000 for skirting boards and decided to do after handover (same with painting which we were quoted $7000).

Anytime mate, we are accepted a quote full house skirting boards for $2200 and painting whole house 3 coats was $4500, so quite a bit cheaper than the builder. What i will say is that the house includes ceiling and cornice painting and we actually had the painter for HG give as a quote directly via SMS which was very reasonable, unfortunately we had already accepted a quote and couldnโ€™t back out. It may pay to wait until your painting is being done, you may get a quote from them ๐Ÿ‘

Hi All,

I've been following the other builds closely and this site has been a great help. We purchased land off plan back in April just before the building bonus and it's taken the better part of 9 months to get titles on our block ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ

We are building on a 492 m2 block and went with the Munich Luxury with HomeGroup WA.

We made a few changes from the original Munich Luxury plans;

  • Extended Garage out to fence line and added roller door to backyard
  • Opened up ensuite removing middle wall and extending shower.
  • Added open window into activity room from kitchen.
  • Move theatre room wall to align with main bedroom.
  • Flipped plan so living areas are north facing.


We have prestart this week and hoping everything goes smoothly. I'll post updates when I can ๐Ÿ˜Š
