Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Mar 22, 2015 12:13 pm Hi everyone, we are looking to build a new house. We have heard from various friends who have built recently (in last 3 years), what kind of additional offers/discount they got. example Rawson homes waive the price of their promotion package ($5000 discount) Wincrest homes threw in a free alfresco (around $6000 value) Wisdom homes offered a $6000 cash discount Interested to hear what kind of discounts people have gotten with their builders Re: Discounts between builders 2Mar 22, 2015 1:36 pm Pretty much every builder will have a current "special" package, which they tend to change every few months.
