Also to add drawers to the kitchen instead of cupboard doors? We just had our colour selection appointment and opted to change the bottom cupboards to draws so I can answer the question for you. The cost is $250 per bank of cupboards. Hope it helps Thanks for that. Any idea of the cost to upgrade the kitchen cupboard doors to either silk finish or shiny laminate? oh and soft closing drawers and door prices?

McDonald Jones Homes - The new thread 1498Jan 23, 2012 3:21 pm We've got some good news! Our DA has been approved today. Will get the paperwork tomorrow for the bank. MJH needs the balance of 5% (around $7k) and I was wondering who paid for it out of their own money, or is it usually the first progress payment of the construction loan? Bit confused about it all Re: McDonald Jones Homes - The new thread 1499Jan 23, 2012 3:38 pm Hi all, Soccermum, regarding first payment, it would depend what percentage of the total price you will be paying and what precentage your loan is. We did direct deposits for the first couple of payments as we borrowed exactly 80% to avoid mortagage insurance. Congratulations on your approval. Good luck to everyone who is about to start. Kopite, congrats on handover, I think yours was the quickest built ever, apart from a few Coral homes on the forum. As for us, we are still settling in and living with dust as our landscaping is taking place at the moment. When it's done and I clean up, I'll take a few photos to post.
