Coral Homes - Modified Grange 29

Have sent you a message

My site was H1 and slab and piering (foundations) added an extra $9000. If you need cut and/or fill that will add more cost. I had a very flat block with a slight fall from back to street front which is almost perfect yet coral charged me $5000 originally for cut and fill work. I challenged them on it ("asked them to show me what they were doing for $5k") and they reduced it to $3800.
I think your $20k allowance is reasoable if you end up with an E class! 🤞Hoping it's not!

Hopefully it's all good. Don't want any scary surprises.

Are you planning to use the upgrades Coral offers? Designer and Elegance. Which one do you guys think is the best offer?

We went with designer and got the majority of the upgrades on offer (the only upgrades we didnt get were the bathroom and laundry upgrades)- we went with designer because our SC told us it was much better value for what we were after.
I think bestspecials are going with elegance for their build and i think that suited them as they were able to upgrade to include aircon and extra concreting

We are going Elegance because we are getting the ducted air con and extra integrated outdoor concreting/tiling too. The more I check it out, I am even thinking of doing the Neo Kitchen upgrade too. OMG!! My price just keeps going up. I want everything. LOL!!

Today we signed our final tender, paid the balance of our 5% deposit and our SC sent off our plans for covenant approval!
Here are our final drawings ☺


We are going to owner supply our tapware, laundry, pantry (base cupboards along one side) and WIR - going to do the ikea pax robe.

We've booked in for our tile appointment with Beaumont Tiles on the 5th of October.

Yay!!!! We are getting somewhere!

Congratulations. I love how you have a separate toilet in the ensuite, such a great idea.
Everything looks amazing, can't wait to see you start your build.

Thanks bestspecials - i cant wait either. Hopefully we can start before xmas!

How exciting!!! Your pantry is huge, looks bigger than mine and you don't have your fridge in there

You will love your corner stackers, I freakin love ours

Thanks charlibear - I think the stacker doors are my fav part of the house!
I love yours and klea's😍

How exciting ☺️. Love you family and dining space.

Thanks Carrot!
Have you popped in and visited a sales consultant for a quote yet?

Yay!!! Moving right along - really happy for you!

Cheers jayajaya 🥂
