Any advice appreciated Thanks STAUBS Hi, We're building the Miami 16 Exec too (Still waiting on the land to be finished and registered so we wont be building until Feb/March next year). Whereabouts are you building? We had our colour selections in the Thornton studio. Dont stress about it, the whole process was incredibly easy. Just be prepared to pay if you want to upgrade above the standard selections. If you have a rough colour scheme you want they'll work with that. Good luck Building Miami 16 Executive - Kings Estate Terrigal NSW - Build 2016 Re: McDonald Jones Homes - Miami 16 Executive 3Sep 08, 2015 5:21 pm Michony85 STAUBS Hi We are building a Miami 16 Exec with MJH and have our Pre Selection's Appointment Friday afternoon - just wondering if anyone has any tips - or heads up on what to expect before heading to this appointment.

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. Re: McDonald Jones Homes - Miami 16 Executive 7Sep 10, 2015 9:07 am You'll be on the construction list in no time!!! Make sure you post lots of photos!!!! 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. It looks relatively cheaper than other builders. But I assume there are many hidden things that… 1 16834 Ask for references and speak to them.
