Hi Everyone
I am new to this forum and new to this whole process of demolishing and rebuilding. It is all very daunting and exciting at the same time.
We are building a house in Melbourne and have signed to build the Monaco Nouveau Q1 Mk2. So far the process has been relatively smooth and the sales guy was very helpful and informative.
We have been going to Cosham Interiors over the last 4 weekends and last night had our colour appointment. I am happy with everything we picked but am worried about the quality of the carpets and flooring. We have chosen the UTF Artesan collection in Cream. It is a 12mm laminate and then upgraded our foam under the carpets to 10mm. I am concerned we are paying to much for all the flooring (just over $10 000) and wonder if we would be beter off doing the flooring after the build.
Our tender is booked in for mid May.
One of the things I am not sure of is that we have been pre approved by the bank for the build but they are asking for the contract which is obviously still months away. What worries me is that we have to demolish our house between tender and contract stage because they have to do a second soil test and we have to get underground electricity installed prior to build. What is concerning me is f we demolish the house, go to contract stage and then there is some unexpected costs or problems and the bank says they will not finance. I just find it a really weird way of going about things.
Is there any advice that anyone can give me to help us on our way?
Thanks in advance
