Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Dec 27, 2014 10:38 pm Now that construction has already started, any chance I can change my kitchen cupboards to drawers?, I know they have not ordered them but I am just thinking they will refuse since building is underway. Did anyone come across this or knows a way out?, what can I do?. Re: Simonds Sanctuary in Brisbane- Change cupboards to drawe 2Dec 27, 2014 10:45 pm Even if they agree, you will be slugged for variations which usually entail an admin fee (can be a few hundred dollars to cover alterations to plans, etc), plus the cost of the drawers with the variation fee added on top (20%+). So even if the builder agrees, be prepared to pay a premium for it. Look in your contract for variation clauses - this will detail admin fees and a % markup Email your builder (good to have it in writing) and ask if it is possible and if so, a quote. You can then decide whether the price is worth it Dale - Building Newbie Proserpine, QLD Re: Simonds Sanctuary in Brisbane- Change cupboards to drawe 3Dec 28, 2014 3:18 am In Adelaide they (Simonds) charge $500 for a variation Re: Simonds Sanctuary in Brisbane- Change cupboards to drawe 4Dec 28, 2014 7:01 am as said ask the builder. i changed a few things in my kitchen was charged a $500 variation fee but was worth it. talk to builder as soon as you can. Hi, Can anyone give me approx. price for overhead cupboards. TIA 0 16545 Hi, you've probably already resolved this, however, Commbank will probably pay the funds to you after you send evidence the work is done regardless the change in the quotes. 1 35305 5 10459 |
