Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Anyone built with *? 13Feb 06, 2007 11:24 am As I go throught the building process I will post some data up on the your site about the experience...So far it has been pretty good.
Got the pre-start pack the other day. Standard range for door handles and taps is very limited, so we'll have to add that to the list... Does anyone know if this is similar for other builders, or if this is one of the reasons that * can have such low prices for such big houses? Cheers... Content 14Feb 09, 2007 12:23 am Hi xzibit
Thanks! Re your pre-start options, I'd say Content do aim to keep the price down, but remember to shop around as you can often supply your own taps etc and depending on what ones you are after it can be cheaper than through the builder, but not always as they sometimes have some bulk buy discounts.

Little things like limited tap selection, basic oven and hotplates, gas hot water heating rather than solar heart, acylic basins, building to the eaves may be some cost saving measures that i have noticed. You will find that if you provide the details on the style of handle you want that they should be able to acomadate you. For example I got all the internal doors in a different style. Just be careful of providing your own stuff, for example we were looking at providing better oven hotplate setup, that we could get from Rick Hart, however these items would not be covered by builders insurance if they were stolen from site. It is written in the contract quite clearly that owner supplied goods are not insured. One to watch if you start providing your own handles taps etc. The builder may be slightly more, but your covered if anyone tries to steal them.
