Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Final build price Vs Advertised price 21May 29, 2017 3:43 pm Builder: Simonds Advertised Base Price: $190,000 Final Cost: $330,000. including site costs of $54,000. That was a sad cost. Upgrades: used special at time of 60,000 worth of upgrades for $15,000 We said 'build us the display home'. Original contract came back at around 310,000 but they hadn't included flooring in first lounge. The bigger bench top, the entry into laundry as display, the bigger ensuite entry, the square set for floor to ceiling tiling, the butlers pantry fit out, the additional cost to meet the 6 star rating. So along the way we increased costs for the things we 100 per cent wanted. I found building frustrating and exciting at the same time. And love our house! Go over your final drawings 101 times. We only did 100 and missed things. And put power points near doorways. That's the only thing annoying in our girls rooms I only put one power point in each and near where there beds go so the opposite end of room from door.
