Because I have attached the document that we got given with the inclusions and they are very different. You don't get Caesarstone in the bathrooms. You only get 2 meter high tiling in the bathroom, not to the ceiling. It doesn't say that you get the square basins either. We were told to get the jazz package to upgrade the vanities. I would love to see it if you are being offered more for the same price!!! Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Paige Paige, it was just like that, but definitely has the stone top vanity sorry yes your right m tiling, but we are having standard ceiling heights, so it basically is to the ceiling yeah i dont think it would add up to the same amount as the package, just the stone top in the kitchen is $6k, then there was the waterfall edge (which we deleted) and the cookwear would be another few thousand, all up, after we deleted the things that werent necessary, we paid $11200 for the package We are getting the Caesarstone benches in the kitchen which are under $4000 and the 900mm cooker was only $1100. The ceiling is 2.4 meters so you are 400mm short of tiles in the bathrooms. Paige Re: Who is building with Beechwood 2616Jul 25, 2013 4:58 pm beknjohn Our package for $20K included all the above and the terrazza is complete as well. The package seems to change depending who asks. We are also getting two drop down sides on our kitchen bench. The information you receive really does depend on how much homework you have done and what you already know! There are things I will now go back with and ask to be included - I was led to believe that the niches in the bathrooms were included but they are not in my tender, so I will be requesting them. Hey beknjohn, May I ask what sales office you are dealing with and what exactly was included in your extras package???? It is doing my head in a little that everyone seems to be getting offered different deals and prices on everything from the same company. I could understand for things that they outsource like kitchens and flooring, but the rest I think is just *******. If two people building at the same time order the same door why do they not get the same quote? I feel like they just make up a number in their head to suit the tender they are doing at the time. Bit annoyed about this factor.

We have gas hot water and gas cooking, but noticed our gas hasn't been connected yet (i.e. it hasn't even been trenched to connect to the house as far as we can see...). Was it an itemised extra for you to have the gas connected???? Re: Who is building with Beechwood 2619Jul 25, 2013 10:40 pm In relation to your question Daniel2ya about the Bushfire rating our block has been rated at BAL 12,5 which is just above the lowest rating. The wanted us to put in a special fire rated door and surround and leaf guard but in reading the statute to them it is stated that the door only needs to be a standard door covered by a screen door and all the windows need to have flyscreens but the covering of these must be aluminium or stainless steel and not the flywire that comes standard. (we are paying for these ourselves for occupation) so the special door was taken off with the surround (which was very expensive). We have to upgrade the sarking to a higher level but negotiated a better price on this and a few minor other things were deleted as well......We were dissapointed though that the standard bathroom hardware items (like towel rails etc) were plastic but we will replace these with better units later anyway, and of course the ridiculous fact there is no shelf or draws in the vanities!!! Go figure!! We were recommended by all the carpet mobs I visited getting advice that it doesnt matter what carpet you get even the cheaper ones but for a long life upgrade the underlay to the best they have, which we did for about 375 for the house and we went with the standard carpet range.....In relation to the insurance policy it was felt by BW that the block lay in a high possible theft area and were trying to shift the burden of responsibility onto me and my policy but after discussions today it was resolved amicably without me having to worry about the policy.

Was it an itemised extra for you to have the gas connected???? Hi little j I don't think the connection was extra for gas - this upgrade was just to add another gas point for a BBQ outside However to get the 3 phase power connected and metered(and not just wired) was an extra cost we had to pay.
