Re: What additional / hidden cost appear when signing contract 17Jun 13, 2009 12:12 pm Hi Joles and others, I can understand that builders, particularly project builders, must squeeze every cent out of their base price and that along the way you're going to pay more than you should for changes and upgrades. As long as it's reasonable, as in your case Joles, I think it's fine. You get what you want and the builder gets a little more profit than the bare minimum. A win-win. But when builders start raking up tens of thousands of dollars extra for stuff they knew was requested, now that's no fair.
