The other differences were our slab ($15k more than estimated!), ensuite ($5k more than estimated including the tiling to the cornice $800 more than estimated?!), triple garage $5k more than estimated and then lots of little things. Even down to three linen cupboard we had installed were all different prices though they were the same size?? Emma Knock Down Rebuild with Clarendon Re: Our knock down rebuild adventure. Help with ensuite desi 42Jun 17, 2014 1:57 am How odd I really hope you can get some answers, did they have any real explanations? Re: Our knock down rebuild adventure. Help with ensuite desi 43Jun 17, 2014 5:57 am Coral said the site management fee is because we are on a busy road and they would have to split deliveries etc. hallmark said they don't charge for that so fingers crossed. I mean, it was almost a $10k charge, that is ridiculous. And coral had under quoted on everything and our tender was so much more expensive. I think we will swap builders. Also, our house was incorrectly sited on the preliminary drawings and it won't fit on the block without zero lotting the garage. We can't get permission from our Neighbour for "full and unrestricted access for the duration of the build" as coral have requested because they have a fenced yard with a dog so I don't think it is fair to ask so coral said there will be more cost there. Hallmark seem the better option. Emma Knock Down Rebuild with Clarendon Re: Our knock down rebuild adventure.
