I am going to upload some pics later tonight. Cheers.

Bronze exterior and harvest interior. Upgrades hmmm The Luca facade Overhead Cupboards in Kitchen Full height tiles splash-back Cat 2 Floors in a darker colour my wife chose it. Vertical Blinds I am sure I am forgetting some stuff??? Re: Anyone building with Homebuyers Centre in VICTORIA? 4050Jul 20, 2016 8:14 pm LILPOM Oh that sounds alright ! I still can't believe the overhead cupboards arnt standard ! I agree about the cupboards but what really annoyed me was that they charged me $1650 extra to have full brickwork above the garage. I would have thought that would be included. Q 4052Jul 20, 2016 8:29 pm LILPOM 😲 Hows the letterbox its $660 lol. Its crazy what they charge for some things... I didn't notice they had letterboxes but I am sure I would not pay that much for one LMAO! I think when we get our landscaping done I will get them to sort me out with a nice letterbox.

We got a beautiful letterbox from Masters for $250. It's dark grey, rendered concrete with a silver insert, and comes with a built in lock.

Does that one get cemented in or is it just freestanding? Re: Anyone building with Homebuyers Centre in VICTORIA? 4058Jul 20, 2016 8:39 pm LILPOM Yeah I read over our contract again and saw the letter box in their and cost says $660! Lol. There were a few things we were warned by staff not to get because the cost was obscene. This included the letterbox, cooling, bi-fold doors and shutters.
