Building contract signed, switching plans..feasible?

Hello everyone!

Just wondering, we signed with a house and land package and due to unforeseen events, we are now thinking of changing our house plans and lot size to a bigger one, but still with the same builder and developer.

Unfortunately, we signed the building contract already, but no settlement yet as we are still waiting for land titles.
Could we do this? I've read the contract numerous times but it doesn't give me anything.

We need to upgrade our room number. ::wornout::

Thank you.

I would contact your builder and developer direct and talk to them as they would be the ones who could tell you whether or not you are able to make the changes. Good luck.

have you signed just the preliminary contract or actually signed the full contract and plans?

I think it depends of the builder. If you have only signed prelim contracts it may be ok

Hi jasmin3,

Unfortunately, we've signed the building contract. We've spoken to the agent, he seems a bit annoyed that after all the paperworks, we're gonna change plans (fair enough), he said he'll look into it this Monday.

How did you go Srichz? Have they allowed you to change the block and design?

Hi Amandaander,

Sorry forgot to check my other posts. Yes thank God they allowed us to change house plans and lot size but the downside is we lost the free aircon and possibly a 10,000 bonus card?

A bit sad but in the end, it all goes to what we are happy with and we're gonna be living in a house that we love.
