Everything seems to be going very fast - which is a good sign. Thanks Rowena ... I hope to spend alot of time on this thread with plenty of detail. ![]() Wow! Love the floorplan! You've got everything I wanted! Huge WIR, walk in pantry, I love the way the alfresco has two sets of doors leading onto it! Huge bedrooms, spa bath, LOVE IT! Thanks alot ... ![]() Just saw your thread, its nice to hear someone else building with NBG having a good experience. Their employees at head office are quite helpful and are happy to accomodate the changes and get things done pretty quickly, we were very happy with the process of the paperwork as well. I noticed your house plan wasn't available at the time we signed up with them, i think they've introduced quite a few different designs and i think they've done well including all different shapes and sizes. The layout of your plan looks good, the storage space in the house is fantastic, would have loved a large WIR like that, even a linen cupboard, or that huge WIL. Looking forward to following the progress of your build, hopefully you get signed up with a good builder and the building experience is a pleasant one too. Please post up your colour selections once you get them done It has honestly been an enjoyable experience so far ... Lucky i guess. My plan was release about 4 -5 months ago i think. I ended up choosing my own builder thanks to 'blessedpeople's advice (blessedpeople on this forum). And so far ... no complaits. Thanks blessedpeople too if you ever read over this thread ![]() Albany!! My god your time frame is amazing - this period took so loooooooooooooonnnnng for us and was frustrating. Yeah not sure whether I was just lucky, or whether they pushed us through quick due to being First Home Buyers and getting in time for the 32k grant. But very happy so far ... I chose the same builder you have as well thanks the blessedpeople's advice, and also read EVERY page of your build thread to double check if you had any issues with your builder too. Im very happy so far ![]() ![]() We're building The Albany 330E with Casa Design & Construction via National Builders Group See how we are going here: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=32694 Re: The Albany 330E -National Builders Highly Recommended So Far 11Oct 19, 2009 7:53 am Love your floorplan, its great!!!

Do you mind me asking how much your base price was compared to the final quotation?? What did you add/change on the plan? As you might guess, we are doing alot of research into what the "final cost" will be before deciding anything. ![]() Thanks!! Michelle Build thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=32574 Re: The Albany 330E -National Builders Highly Recommended So Far 20Oct 20, 2009 9:30 pm Hi Michelle, PM'ed you ... And for anyone else in the same situation, the Base price for this house was $239,500 and we added alot of extra's ... but their "quotation estimate" of what the final price would be never changed on contract stage, and all extra costs we incured i would say were fair priced.
