Hi. Our pretender is now meant to be in March, although we don’t have a date yet. We have a full timeline though which is encouraging, with site start slated for last week in August or early September.
The frustrating thing is we need to sign a contract and pay a deposit for our pool this Wednesday to give them enough lead time to deliver it in July, but we don’t know if we can afford it yet because we haven’t seen the pretender which will show the price increases, etc.
So we are still waiting and hoping the house price doesn’t blow us out of the water.
Shouldn't the price only really change if the site costs are greater than what was allowed for in your PSQ and/or if you make any upgrades as part of your interior and electrical consultations?
Apparently the base price can increase if they don’t start building within 9 months.
We were aware of this but aside from that, since costs have increased due to supply issues we can either walk away or accept that the increases are the same with all builders.
They aren’t going to take on a job if they can’t afford to build it, so I guess we see if the base price (and PSQ items) have gone up 1.5% or 10%, we really don’t know yet. Plus there’s potentially site costs that we didn’t allow for.
It’s a bit scary, and if there are huge increases we would have liked to know before Xmas not in March.
