Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Feb 04, 2017 8:53 pm Hi guys, need some advice. We have almost finalised our quote for the Sahara Lux Q3. There are a few things on the quote that we feel we are being overpriced on. Has anyone built with Henley and have been successful negotiating items at the contract stage?

Inclusions have changed now so asking also what are the changes in case we are being disadvantaged by the pricing matrix on old pricing and promo.
