Browse Forums General Discussion 1 Oct 29, 2018 8:26 pm Wondering what others have received as free upgrades from their builder? We just had our quote presentation today with Mcdonald Jones and had the following: - removal of upgrade package price ($5,000) - free aircon - free alfresco - Miele appliance upgrade total came to around 35k + the 20K for the mychoice colour studio at the moment. Interested to know what is considered a good deal and worth signing up for quickly Re: Freebies and Upgrades 2Oct 29, 2018 10:47 pm Our builder (Inspired/ Como) gave us $15k off to spend on anything for the build. Whether yours is a good deal depends on how much they are charging you already for the build. And doesn't your houseplan already come with an Alfresco as standard? Aircon is always nice, but why not ask how much it is to buy separately, similarly for the appliance upgrades. Miele is a good brand, but doesn't mean their standard brand is not. Is it worth signing up for quickly? No, probably not, do your due diligence and compare with other builders for the same build.
