There is a house advertised within my price range that I like the plan of, and their list of specifications seems quite good. Plus the plan is very adapable to a few structural changes I would want to make. I read some quite bad reviews about Ventura on on that review website, which I admit makes me a little uneasy, but I love their display homes and quite a few of their plans. I've also been looking at a few plans on the Ulimate Homes website but have no idea if the ones I like are within my price range.

What do you think?

Ventura seem to have some decent standard features so i guess you cant go wrong there Re: Terminating a prelim contract 11Jun 02, 2009 1:10 am Yeah the standard features and the size of the house is defintely swaying me towards Ventura. Our block is 15m and that plan is designed for a 15m wide block. How much do you think it would cost to add the theate room? 10grand? I am quite put off by the bad reviews about Ventura, but I am really liking this house. I guess it will all depend on how I go with the sales guy there tomorrow.

I'll let you know how I go tomorrow. I've seen some of your posts about trying to find a builder. Have you found a builder/house yet?

If you go with that design block off the 2nd entry to the minor rooms passageway. The one down the back near the theatre room. makes it easier to keep it quieter near those two minor bedrooms and you don't really need 2 openings. Re: Terminating a prelim contract 16Jun 02, 2009 2:11 pm Thanks Kexkez, if we go with this plan then I'll consider that. We signed our prelim back in February, but as I said are still waiting on land titles. Would our builder have already done plans and submitted to council, or do they have to wait until after land titles are issued before this can be done? I have sent our sales guy an email asking exactely what has been done so far, that way if he says nothing has been done, and I decide to cancel the contract - they can't hit me for any other charges. If plans etc have been done, can then they then ask me for more money to get out of the contract?

I've sent him a email requesting costing of all the other changes/upgrades we want. He said he'll get back to me in a week with proper costing and a new drawing of what we want. How did you go with red ink? what plan are you looking at with them? Who is it that you are currently signed with?

Im currently with *, my meeting went ok with redink, although i wont be going with any upgrades that i can do after handover as they can be done for a least half of what i was quoted, so ill just go with upgrades i have to like high ceilings etc. im looking the "The Benchmark" which includes aircon and solar hot water for a good price. My salesman is going to make additional changes as per my design drawing as I didnt like his, so we shall see how that goes next week Re: Terminating a prelim contract 20Jun 15, 2009 3:02 pm Hi cheetah, sounds good. How are you going with yours? I emailed my current builder today telling them we wish to terminate our contract.
