Hi
We are starting the process of building a new home and really trying to get an idea of what to expect on cost. Interesting in finding out recent experiences of what your base price was vs the final cost. Would be helpful to know what builder/house design and any upgrades.
Thanks

We went from a base price of approx. $270K (including site costs) to $385K.
Added 80sqm of size to the house plus many many upgrades.
Post handover we still will need to do blinds, driveway and ducted a/c so i guess add another 20-40K on top of that.
We are building in Perth with WA Country Builders
We were somewhat similar. We went from $220k including earth works to $310k. The jump was because of more expensive earthworks than initially thought, council bungle that resulted in $20k worth of upgrades to get to 7 star energy efficiency, pre-start.
We still have to do curtains, a/c, solar panels, aggregate driveway, water tank, interior painting. So still quite a bit more to do post hand over.

The best thread I have read on this forum was by a gentleman who built with Clarendon and gives a really good breakdown of all the costs and upgrades.See link below:

Thanks, do you mind me asking who you built with and the house design?

We're building with New Living Homes.
The design we started with was the Ivy 5 but as we have modified it quite a bit it was priced to us as a custom design.
It's more or less that layout though, just bigger.

i asked these sames questions in the initial stages of search for a builder and found that you're better off getting estimates from your top three builders and see if it's within your budget.
where are you building and who are you planning to build with?
Sydney KDR
base price: $446k
current tender: $587k
