Browse Forums Building A New House Re: McDonald Jones Homes - Miami 16 Executive 5Sep 09, 2015 8:46 am Hi Pre selections went great - lots of ideas. We are building at Fletcher and are now just waiting to do our plan apt then selections day all scheduled for next month. Were is your land at? We have modified our house to make a 6 bed as we have 5 kids [/quote] Hi There, We're building at Terrigal (Central Coast). Been a long process though, we put a deposit on the land last Oct and its still not registered Turning it into a 6 bedroom is a good idea considering your 5 kids! We dont have any kids yet so bedrooms wasnt a major concern of ours We did however delete the study nook to open up the Lounge/Dining area, and flipped the laundry and butlers pantry so the kitchen flows the whole way along the wall. We also had to extend rooms under the eaves to meet council restrictions. Exciting times ahead! Just getting impatient now Building Miami 16 Executive - Kings Estate Terrigal NSW - Build 2016 Re: McDonald Jones Homes - Miami 16 Executive 6Sep 09, 2015 9:09 am Wow you have been waiting so long - I am impatient and we have only been doing this process for about 3 months. We have changed the study into a walk through linen with sliding doors with end (storage a major thing for me with so many of us lol) We also have a split through the front end of the house as our land requires it. Basically steps up at dining part. Good idea with the kitchen - we have deleted the butlers pantry increased the garage & media rooms so inturn reducing the laundry and changing butlers to a storage cupboard - fridge still as is in display though. Hopefully we are now going to move along a little faster has been a bit slow due to the changes we have made - basically whole house on bedroom side has pushed back 3 mtrs so lots of changes. We have signed CT now so just need next steps to move along so we can get to construction list stage. Hopefully your land is registered soon - look forward to watching your progress.

We really wanted a split level house, our land is flat and the cost of doing a split really wasn't worth it, it does add another element to the place though! Best of luck with everything Building Miami 16 Executive - Kings Estate Terrigal NSW - Build 2016 Hi AKG, We had a base tender of $592 for 31 squares from MC Donald Jones.
