Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Oct 23, 2015 6:56 pm First time home buyer let alone builder: So our (Kristin and Rob's + lil Luigi, our puppy) story begins today with putting a deposit down on land in Pacific Cove - Pimpama QLD. Its a nice elevated area and 600m2 so we're pretty excited, just hope everything works out. We have decided on Coral Homes - Avoca 25 with some minor changes and will hopefully have a chat to them on Sunday. Any tips hints or advice would be great as it is all new to us Anyway fingers crossed things work out!

My partner and I are builder the Reflections 30 through G&P one thing that we have found through out our process so far is to ask about any changes that you can make to the house or other upgrades you could get as once we signed our contact we came across all these things that we hadn't been told about or didn't know we could have/do and depending on your builder and what stage your up to they can hit you with a variation charge for each change that you make ;( (ours are $250 each variation) Looking forward to seeing your how progress My Cake Decorating Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/YummyTummyCupcakes12/ Follow our build here: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=80481 Re: And our story begins... 10Nov 03, 2015 6:25 pm Good advice Kelgofast! I have been reading lots of threads on here to make sure we have considered all upgrade options and possible changes. rnk_building how far along are you now? What's the next step for you?
