It's strecthing my budget! Leave no room for other costs like driveway, fencing, other upgrades, etc. I guess I'll give this a skip for now. Unless my boss is nice enough to give me some payrise Jeez - is that base price for the Stoneleigh? When we signed up for ours the base price was $225k, (January 08). We added the double glazed upgrade, a few French doors, a Bi-fold door, stone benches & glass balustrades. By the time we finished the end result was $345k. The extras rack up so quickly, then when you think you have covered all the big ticket items you find that nice bricks, nicer range of paint colours, nice floor tiles are all in higher categories than what is allowed for in the base price. We probably added $15k just in our colours selection once we had signed up the initial tender. Then, that excludes drives, fencing etc. We could have spent more too! Like most builders, you don't get much for your base price and generally no where near what the display houses have. When we signed up they told us the 'as displayed' price of the Stoneleigh on The Chase was $297k (based on a $225 base price). However, it later turned out that that was rubbish as they hadn't costed it properly. Based on what we spent, and what is in the display, I would say the as displayed on the Chase would have been around $330+ (excluding external works). That would have been Jan 08 prices on a $225 base. I know a lot of the upgrades have also jumped up in price. The sliding theatre door option was $1900 when we added it. I'm told it's over $4k now! This is one of the reasons I decided to go overseas for my double glazed windows.
