Plus builders ranges are not only over priced but not the best quality.

Plus builders ranges are not only over priced but not the best quality. It depends. At the moment with the bonus of cheap flooring throughout in the promo, and only paying the upgrade price, it is neck and neck. My tile upgrade price was , but it wasn't going to be that much cheaper to do it ourselves after handover once the promo was taken into account.... and then there is the issue of the wet areas and other areas tile matching up. For some people this doesn't matter... for me it's a biggie. It just works out easier for us to get them to do it. But without the flooring promo, definitely cheaper to get it done after handover. I leave you to fend for yourself, figure things out yourself.

We are going to keep the carpets from the promo and will still have PD doing the bathrooms and laundry - it's not too much to upgrade as they are small areas. It was just really annoying that they really don't have much in their standard range now! I'm not that fussy but their choices are pretty average as I'm sure all builders are.
