Things not included in builders price

Tash2020 · Jul 19, 2020 11:40 pm

So I was recently told by a friend that has built few times, that the main flooring is not included in builders price.

So that made me wonder, what else is generally not included with main stream builders?

Kitchen/bathroom tiles?
Lights?

Please enlighten me

Thanks in advance to anyone that can help!

Depends on builder

You should be able to obtain a document with the builder's "standard inclusions", but some don't even include the little things like toilet roll holders or towel rails!

Depends on the builder. Ask for details and go through with a fine tooth comb. There are checklists you can can reference against

Landscaping, driveway, take your pick. This is the worst part of building a home, you would think for the high price we pay they include everything but they always trick people into paying more.

Depends which builders you go to. Check and ask for their inclusions. One builder can have more than one inclusions depending on your budget. Some builders have their inclusions on their website so you can start there.

Depends on your builder. Our house price includes the standard floor and tiles allowance. They call it PCI items which means the price can change depending on your final selection of flooring and tiles.

Other items not included:

Fence
Stormwater tank
Blinds
Doorbell

I always love how they tile just up to 2000 or 2100 just to save a few bucks.
I mean come on, seriously.
