KDR - Allcastle Homes Grandworth 45 MK2

I was pretty much advised that site costs are non negotiable.

Hydraulics is $20K through the AC contact. Though they have yet to finalise the sum because they missed a component in my quote.

20k for hydraulics. Jebus

AKbee,
20k for hydraulic that too expensive

Everything is negotiable. I Don’t believe all they said

I still wait for my hydraulic report to come out.

Just wondering do u pay for traffics control
Even on a quiet street?

I have to pay for trafic control. But im on a busy road

Hi everyone,

Has anyone been to the ACH internal selections recently and wouldn't mind sharing some pics/info? Keen to see the included tile range from Beautiful tiles. Their website is hopeless. I went to the selection studio last May and saw some tiles but I was told they will be changing the range. We have signed to up to build a modified Grandworth 42.5 at Baulkham hills and heading to the external colour appointment later this week.

Thanks,
Cynthia

ACH internal colour choices are quite ordinary, and as far as i can tell any upgrades will cos u full price plus builder margin. Not sure if u are getting anything back from the item ur upgrading from. I chose to upgrade what cannot be changed after and keep what can be replaced at a later date.
As far as beautiful tiles, ive also seen their showroom. Basic range isnt bad, but ive read too many bad reports about this supplier. Im also keen to use a different supplier

Oh ok. Do you have any pictures of the included tile range?

I dont sorry

We built last year moved in May and they used Beaumont then

Can anyone please share some input and experience about the internal color selection process?

What options are available?

What do you recommend to upgrade?

We are particularly interested about the range of their tile selection.

We are about to sign the HIA contract.

What clauses can be negotiated?

Any suggestion?

My advice is have a look at the sample they sent u, make a list of things u want upgraded, if possible find out the cost to upgrade them after handover.
Also consider what can be changed post handover, such as handle and taps, and things that cant be changed easily such as cupboard colours which is costly to upgrade later but relatively cheap to upgrade now

Thank you, what kind of sample would they send?

I were told everything will be decided on the internal selection day.

Didnt they send u a colour pack?

The color pack is for external section and we have done it last year.

The internal color section is coming soon and we are not sure what to prepare for......

Thats weird, our colour pack had the internals as well

I don’t have the internal colour package either . For internal we added fly screens, roller blind, security doors, nbn etc and upgraded the toilets.

Electrical also added more things like downlights etc

With tiles we asked which company and they didn’t say. They just told they have a few company which we will know once the construction start

Hi all,

If anyone is interested, I've started a blog on our build and have documented our journey so far with ACH. Also, I have added a post on the colour studio with photos of the included range (bricks, tiles, etc). Below is the link:
