We're just finishing the final plans for our home, have booked pre-start and I'm unsure what to do about our Alfresco.
Currently it's only 4.2x3.8m and it my mind that is way too small for any kind of future entertaining etc.
I've asked our builder to extend it 4m so it will be 4.2x7.8m which is a much better size but it will cost us $4244 without paving (which I want to do later).
4.2 x 7.8 is a much better size for us but the additional $4244 which we can 'purchase' at pre-start is pushing our budget. I know I can always add a patio (years) later to add more sheltered out-door area but I have no idea how much a 4x4.2m patio will cost. Plus it won't look 'seamless'.
Considering the $4244 is a real stretch, would it still be smarter to extend the alfresco now with the builder, or do the Patio later?
Thanks
