We just finished building with allworth in stage 2 in june. The biggest underestimate for us was landscaping. Assuming your block is like the majority; there will be retaining walls and some good soil before you do grass plus potentially some drainage. Id estimate that with fence and landscaping we have hit the 20k mark with about another 4 to spend. Half of that was just retaining walls though! Good luck with it all! You can call me Chris!

We had a couple of small maintenance issues which they fixed straight away. Also quick, 16 weeks from site scrape to keys, although we did all flooring, window coverings and driveway after handover.

Yes the after handover works are what are making me worried at the moment. Just for our rough quote from allworth and will likely be putting down our deposit this weekend. Good to hear they went ok with and were quick to fix errors. It's all so nerve racking! Even how the bank want to do the construct loan is confusing!
