Hi- new here!
we've found the house we want and will be meeting with rep from national builders group on Sunday to start the process.
The house we want is base cost of $174K plus we're getting evap cooling, colourbond roof and upgraded appliances in the deal. He's reckons about another $11K for carpet/tiles. We will need to relocate our exisitng drive for about $3K.
We're factoring in about $4K for demolition of current house and added another $15K for extra bits and pieces. Is this enough? We don't all the extras, but know we will need things like extra tv/powerpoints etc.
I think we might need to upgrade the slab as well...
What else do I need to consider? Are there site costs, reconnection to gas/elec/water?
How do I play it cool to get things to work out how I would like (i.e. not shelling out $$$$!) We want to turn the powder room into a storage cupboard so how do make sure we get the money back for that?
any help would be appreciated!
