Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 14772Jun 17, 2019 10:18 am ![]() Hi all, We are going to sign contract with wisdom soon. What are the upgrades i need to consider? What ceiling height i can go for the first floor? Thanks! Cheers R We went with 2740 downstairs and 2590 upstairs (and square set cornice) which i'm very happy with. I think people have gone higher but this was the max we could go due to council height restrictions (we had a raised slab). other upgrades which people have mentioned: - water point fridge - smart waste tiles - carpet underlay upgrade - additional lights/powerpoints (~5k) - larger garage (at least 6x6 for 2 car garage minimum) - under stair storage - kitchen upgrades (~10-15k) - full height tiles bathrooms (and tile upgrades) - (~10-15k) - translucent windows - for those who like privacy. We got our kitchen splash back frosted after handover but would have gone frosted if I had thought about it. - soundproofing - we just did between bedrooms. Don't regret not doing between floors. - Aircon - only did additional controller upstairs and wifi with a couple of slim vents. I really couldn't see an ROI with upgrading.

Cheers R You will need to have all your structural design finalised otherwise Wisdom will charge you a Post Contract Variation Fee. I would recommend your ask them what they consider as structural as we didnt realise that rendering was consider structural and and almost got charged the fee. We didnt really have any discussion on the facade changes until we got our plans at contract stage and the facade image in the brochures/online was very different to the standard design in the plans. For the lack of discussion or it being raised we assumed we would discuss this during our colours appointments.
