Re: How many $s required after handover to make it complete :) 16Nov 02, 2009 11:58 am We've spent well in excess of $50,000 on the outside and our house is over 40 squares and our block size only 615 so we don't have a big yard. And that is doing most of it ourselves apart from retaining walls and concreting. We seem to have spent a lot of money on having dirt delivered for fill and for garden beds and for under the turf and the trucks keep coming. We had a lot of slope to deal with so have some pretty massive retaining walls. Then we decided to put in two water tanks and paved a quarter of the back yard. Still to do yet is actually plant all these boxed planting areas I have now, deck the alfresco floor (can't afford at this point), a bigger letter box, and I think another water tank for the front.

Re: How many $s required after handover to make it complete :) 17Nov 02, 2009 12:33 pm Being First Home Buyers.. we are trying to do ours on a budget - that said... we havent done very well at sticking to it *woops* Not included in our package .. and stuff we now need to sort out: - Fence... we are going a bit overboard here,, but corner block.. and no neighbours for what looks like 12 months.. going to get us back around 8.5k - Landscaping - Hoping to get away with a starting budget of around 2-2.5k and we will build on it over time. Thats for about 400m2 of backyard/front yard space - Letterbox - $20 Bunnings job will do us fine to start with.. will upgrade later - Clothesline - they start from about $100 in Bunnings (for the fold out from the wall ones) - Window Coverings - going to get aluminium venetians throughout. supply only I got a price of about 1k for our whole place. - We already spent an extra $1700 on concrete around the house (for air con units to sit on etc) - and spent $1200 on a dishwasher as it was the only essential we didnt have for the house. Everything else was included in our package - flyscreens/antenna/paint/floor coverings etc etc Re: How many $s required after handover to make it complete :) 18Nov 12, 2009 10:24 pm ahhhh.. still to many to think about after.. and i have not yet even started building Oxford 22 @ Stage12a Point Cook Site Cut : 05/03/2010 Slab Pour : 24/03/2010 Frame Inspected : 06/04/2010 Pre-plaster Inspection: 22/04/2010 PCI: 16/07/2010 Final Inspection: 30/07/2010 Landscaping: who knows??? MyHomeoneThread Our Oxford22 Blog Not sure who you're building with, but I moved in recently to a 11month scheduled, 8 month actual build on the South coast/Illawarra NSW 3 5911 I posted the floorplan on Houzz.com forum and got some really good ideas and advice from people there. Then we reached out to a couple of renovation companies and one… 5 10093 at most it will have a short lintel which could be moved up just below the ceiling or even above. Above means you need to patch the cornice and might need to deal with… 2 61371 |
