Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Dec 31, 2020 3:11 pm Hi all, First home buyer here and builder from house and land giving me option for cash of 15k or kitchen appliance upgrade (artusi standard range to Fisher & Paykel more expensive black range including extra undermount rangehood vs artusi canopy, new French door fridge, washing machine & dryer), ducted AC from 2 zones to 4 zones and a free bbq. I looked up the product codes and artusi range is about 3.3k, Fisher and Paykel about 12.5k with the extra stuff. Which would you choose?

This all makes a lot of sense. I guess when you talk to a builder who butters up everything to look very polished, you get to start believing… 7 17601 |
