Hi All
My partner and I have recently purchased a new block in Secret Harbour and are now looking at building a house. We have found the house plan we want to use, well we have severely modified one to suit us anyway, but are not to sure about the process of approaching a builder.
Can we just take a plan to a builder and ask them to build it or are you generally supposed to build from their existing plans. The reason I ask is that the plan we modelled our house on was roughly $250k but we have found a similar design with another builder for $185k.
Can you also get the builder to use all the applances, basins, taps, tiles, fittings etc that you have already purchased yourself or do they have certain suppliers you need to buy from.
We have a limited budget and are trying to get the best bang for our buck as I am sure everyone is .
Thanks in advance.
